I need to pass on following values …
exeEvironment (Test environment) , testGroup (Group in testNG)
from Command-Line -> POM -> TestNG -> Test cases.
Based on these two posts ....
pass a java parameter from maven
How to pass parameters to guicified TestNG test from Surefire Maven plugin?
I did the following configuration ..
In surefire plugin, I tried following two options, none seem to work.
=====
(1)
<execution>
<id>default-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<properties>
<exeEnvironment>${exeEnvironment}</exeEnvironment>
<testGroup>${testGroup}</testGroup>
</properties>
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>
</execution>
(2)
<execution>
<id>default-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<systemPropertyVariables> <exeEnvironment>${exeEnvironment}</exeEnvironment>
<testGroup>${testGroup}</testGroup> </systemPropertyVariables>
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>
</execution>
In testNG.xml , can I use the the variable testGroup
like …
<test name="Web Build Acceptance">
<groups>
<run>
<include name="${testGroup} />
</run>
</groups>
<classes>
<class name="com.abc.pqr" />
</classes>
</test>
This doesn't seem to work as well, do I need to define a parameter.
In the test cases , I tried to get he variables in following two ways …. (1)
testEnv = testContext.getSuite().getParameter("exeEnvironment");
testGroup = testContext.getSuite().getParameter("testGroup");
(2)
testEnv = System.getProperty("exeEnvironment");
testGroup = System.getProperty("testGroup");
This is the exact thing I was looking for my automation test and I got it working.
Command Line argument
mvn clean test -Denv.USER=UAT -Dgroups=Sniff

TestNG test
import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class TestAuthentication {
@Test (groups = { "Sniff", "Regression" })
public void validAuthenticationTest(){
System.out.println(" Sniff + Regression" + System.getProperty("environment"));
}
@Test (groups = { "Regression" },parameters = {"environment"})
public void failedAuthenticationTest(String environment){
System.out.println("Regression-"+environment);
}
@Parameters("environment")
@Test (groups = { "Sniff"})
public void newUserAuthenticationTest(String environment){
System.out.println("Sniff-"+environment);
}
}
The above works well. Additionally, if you need to use testng.xml
, you can specify the suiteXmlFile
like ...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12.4</version>
<configuration>
<systemPropertyVariables>
<environment>${env.USER}</environment>
</systemPropertyVariables>
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Also, I prefer using @Parameters
instead of parameters
in @Test()
as the later is deprecated.
