I have a project in which I used maven fail-safe
plugin to run the integration tests. I am using the Maven + TestNG
framework combination. For the project purpose, earlier I have modified the TestNG's default XML Report to customize the project needs.
I implemented the above said requirement in a CustomReporter class which extends the TestNG's IReporter
interface. Earlier I used surefire
plugin to run these test methods and adding the listener mechanism
in the surefire plugin works as expected.
Now for certain project needs, I need to migrate to failsafe plugin. So I bypassed the test
phase execution of surefire
by configuring the POM file.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Then I have added the failsafe configuration in the POM file as below;
<
plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>fail-safe-myplug</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
<properties>
<property>
<name>listener</name>
<value>com.CustomXmlReport</value>
</property>
</properties>
<includes>
<include>**/*Test.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
With this new POM, integration test invocation with failsafe
plugin is failing. Following are the log;

Eventhough I am using failsafe
plugin in the integration-test
phase, I am getting the exception
Configuring TestNG with: org.apache.maven.surefire
.testng.conf.TestNGMapConfigurator@ab50cd
org.apache.maven.surefire.util.`SurefireReflectionException
How to resolve this issue ?
Note : When I tried to execute the tests using surefire
plugin, the listener mechanishm works as expected.
Actually the issue is, the compatibility with Failsafe
and TestNG
versions. I was using TestNG 5.9v
with failsafe plugin 2.12v
. This is the root cause for the issue.
I downgraded the Failsafe
version to 2.5v
and the issue got resolved.
Thanks to google groups for guiding me to think in version perspective. http://groups.google.com/group/testng-users/browse_thread/thread/b54417e5a61c5c62
