TestNG option not showing in RunAs option in Eclipse

Question

I am using maven project in eclipse ide and added a testng dependency as:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
        <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
        <version>6.8.8</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

but i am unable to see TestNg option when right click on any testclass

Answer 1

That dependency alone is hardly enough. You need to install TestNG Eclipse plugin to be able to use it as you describe.

Answer 2

Select Help / Install New Software... Enter the update site URL in "Work with:" field: Update site for release: https://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-eclipse-release/. Make sure the check box next to URL is checked and click Next.

Answer 3

I am working on TestNG in Eclipse, I have added maven dependency using maven:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>7.1.0</version>
</dependency>

When I tried to run my test file present in src/java/test folder, I can't see anything in RunAs, then I followed below steps:

Goto Help->Install new Software-> Click on Add button->

1. Name= TestNG
2. Location=https://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-eclipse-release/7.1.0/

NOTE: 7.1.0 is my TestNG version, you can change this to your version.

It will show you TestNG -> Check it and install it -> Restart Eclipse. Now you can see TestNGTest option in your Run As option.

For more information, check README file in GitHub Repo: https://github.com/cbeust/testng-eclipse

Answer 4

Ensure you have at minimum Java JDK 7, which is required for TestNG. See requirements section of testng documentation.

If you have Java 1.6 or earlier, it won't load in Eclipse, you can figure this out by looking at the [workspace]/.metadata/.log file, you should see the error logged:

!ENTRY org.testng.eclipse 4 0 2015-08-16 06:36:21.383
