I am trying to run TestNG tests. My Project organization is - src->test->java->com->shn->library The below command works well in Windows but fails in Linux.

mvn -X clean exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.shn.library.RunSuitesInParallel" -Dexec.classpathScope=test -e

Error Seen in Linux on running the same command -

I ran - 

mvn clean install.

Post which when I run - 

mvn -X clean exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.shn.library.RunSuitesInParallel" -Dexec.classpathScope=test -e

The compiled classes get deleted & the error is apparent.

So the solution is - 

mvn -X clean install exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.shn.library.RunSuitesInParallel" -Dexec.classpathScope=test -e
