How to create 'testng.xml' using Eclipse

Question

I am new to TestNG and Selenium Webdriver and trying to create a testng.xml using eclipse.

Done some research in www and understand that this file can be created by doing Right Click on the Java class >> TestNG >> Convert to TestNG

However this Convert Refactoring wizard is not opening.

Whether this wizard will not open, if the Java class already contains @Test annotations (!?)

Can you help me to create testng.xml using eclipse please.

(I am using Eclipse Luna)

Answer 1

1. Click on Project
2. CNTL+ENTER
3. Go to general file
4. Create a file in your project with name testng.xml
5. click on finish
6. Open that file and write the given below code

Change the names according to your program and run that testng.xml Run as Testng it will run your program with Testng

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="Suite Name"  > 
<!-- suite name="Suite Name" --> 


             <test name="TestA" allow-return-values="true">
                     <classes>
                       <!-- packagename.Testcase class name  -->
                             <class name ="listnerDemo.Testcases" />
                     </classes>
             </test>


                   <listeners>
              <!-- packagename.customerlistner_classname  -->
                       <listener class-name="listnerDemo.CustomerListner"/>
              </listeners>

</suite>

*********************************if you have to run using multiple suite********

let me give you an example if you have three suites that have multiple cases then create the tree .xml file and write the code as above for all the three suite

then create a testng.xml file that will include the code as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<Suite name="Data driver testng project">
<Suite-files>
    <Suite-files path="C:\Arpan\Study Documents\Selenium\Selenium Framework\Core_Framework_TestNG\suiteA.xml" />
    <Suite-files path="C:\Arpan\Study Documents\Selenium\Selenium Framework\Core_Framework_TestNG\suiteB.xml" />
    <Suite-files path="C:\Arpan\Study Documents\Selenium\Selenium Framework\Core_Framework_TestNG\suiteC.xml" />
</Suite-files>
</Suite>

Then run the testng.xml Run as Testng then it will run all the program of those are part of these three suites

Created testng suite file manually as below:

1. Run once your project from Eclipse
2. Refresh your project
3. Now, “test-output” folder will be created under your project –> unfold the folder
4. Double click the ‘index.html’ file -> It will be opened in the Eclipse Browser window or any other external browser (e.g. IE, Google Chrome, FF, MS Edge etc.)
5. Click on the ‘.xml’ link given on the left panel
6. The test suite XML will get opened on the right-side panel
7. Take a copy of the XML content
8. Right click your project >> New >> File
9. Give name of your test suite file (with .xml extension e.g. testng.xml) and click Finish
10. Paste the content that you copied from the ‘index.html’ and amend your suite file as per your needs
