Question

Eclipse for Testers Version: Indigo Release Build id: 20110615-0604

I try to install TestNG but below error appeared.

" Unable to read repository at http://beust.com/eclipse. http://beust.com/eclipse is not a valid repository location. "

Kindly Resolve the problems

Answer 1

It doesn't work for Eclipse Neon at all. You can try to download the zipped archive file and add the 'update site' as an archive file from the file system.

Answer 2

Disconnect from your company's intranet network and connect to your network (Like mobile hotspot or home wifi). Try install then. Worked for me.

Answer 3

I added one "/" to the end: http://beust.com/eclipse/, then it works. If you use RAD 8+, navigate from Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections, make sure you have correct settings here, for me I have to change the setting from Native to Direct.

Answer 4

You can try below link
https://www.techbeamers.com/install-testng-in-eclipse-ide/

The URL for downloading the Zip file is for version 6.11 in the above link. If you need a higher version try http://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-eclipse-release/zipped/

Answer 5

> Install TestNG In Eclipse IDE Via Offline Jar Files

1. Download the latest TestNG Jar files from the link TestNg Jars
2. Go to the eclipse installation directory and look for the “dropins” folder there.
3. Create a folder inside the dropins folder and name it as “testng-eclipse-6.11“
4. Extract the “site_assembly.zip” file and copy its contents to the newly created “testng-eclipse-6.11” directory.
5. Restart Eclipse

Answer 6

This is because http://beust.com/eclipse is redirecting to http://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/ and Eclipse software seems to be not handling this URL redirection as intended.

If you add the URL as http://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-eclipse-release/ then this will work OK.
