TestNG not running tests in testing suite

Question

I'm trying to run a testing suite using XML and TestNG, but I'm always getting the same message using both: Eclipse and the command line:

[TestNG] Running:
  /Users/achavez/Programs/Selenium/java/src/tests/resources/testng.xml


===============================================
TestingSuite1
Total tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Skips: 0
===============================================

The file is read correctly, but it seems like the tests are not running.

These are the contents of my testng.xml:

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="TestingSuite1" verbose="1">
    <test name="Test1"  >
        <packages>
            <package name="tests"/>
        </packages>
    </test>
</suite>

and this is how my directory structure looks like in Eclipse:

Also, this is also how I'm attempting to run the testing suite through the command line:

java -jar /Applications/Zend\ Studio.app/Contents/Resources/Java/plugins/org.testng.eclipse_6.8.6.20141201_2240/lib/testng.jar src/tests/resources/testng.xml

I've tried cleaning the project through eclipse, and that didn't seem to help. I also tried running:

mvn clean but it didn't do the job either.

Any help pointing me to the right direction will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You could also check imports for imported Test annotation, should be:

import org.testng.annotations.Test;
@Test
public myTest(){ ... }

and not for example:

import org.junit.Test;

Answer 2

I had to change my method access modifier to public from private to get it working .
