Getting an error. Could not find or load the main class org.testng.TestNG

Question

I am trying to run TestNG from the command line, but this gives me an error. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?

java -cp C: / TestNG directory / testng-6.2.jar; C: \ project directory \ src \ com \ suites \ suite \ shop org.testng.TestNG testng.xml

Error : could not find or load the main class org.testng.TestNG

My scripts work fine when I run them from the eclipse testng plugin .

Answer 1

• Copy the commands below into a text file.

• Edit the location.

• Save it as yourtext.bat

• Now double click on the created batch file.

cd C: \ Workspace \ projectname

java -cp C: \ Workspace \ projectname \ lib *; C: \ Workspace \ project_name \ bin org.testng.TestNG testng.xml

Answer 2

The path to the TestNG.jar file is not configured. Follow the instructions on the following site to configure. This worked for me: http://qtp-automate.blogspot.com/2011/10/running-selenium-testng-test-from.html

Answer 3

• Try the answer above.
• If you are still not working, you may download the wrong version of testng.jar . From the testng.org link , click "here for ant users" to download the full version of testng.jar (11 megabytes), and not the "Maven Central" version (no more than 100 thousand).

I tested these two versions on centos following the testng test

Answer 4

Your testng.jar file may not be in the lib folder, which is C:\Workspace\projectname\lib .

First you have to find testng.jar on your computer and transfer it manually to C:\Workspace\projectname\lib . Then it will work

Answer 5

Make sure that the lib folder contains the file testng-6.8.jar (or any other version), since testng.xml even succeeds without testng-6.8.jar (or any other version) with jar files that are added when the TestNG library is added.
