I converted a dynamically generated JUnit test suite to TestNG using a @Factory annotation.

I converted a dynamically generated JUnit test suite to TestNG using a @Factory annotation. The tests are generated by scanning a directory that contains several test specification files (written in a DSL) and by loading them in an test class that knows how to execute them. The test class has a single @Test method named test, implements org.testng.ITest and overrides getTestName() as recommended.

However, in the TestNG Eclipse UI, only the factory and a single execution of test is shown (although it is executed several times, as expected). With JUnit, I had the name of each spec listed as a separate test. This is very important because several test specs could fail and I would need to see all failures (which does not work in the TestNG Eclipse UI for me).

How can I achieve something similar with TestNG? I use the Eclipse TestNG plugin 6.7.0 and testng 6.7.

    Try extending XmlTest in your test class and call setName(). I extended XmlSuite and used setName to name my “test suite” which is a class with multiple tests defined in it and that worked for me. In fact I just tried what I suggested on the same class and now it’s called a test with the correct name. I’m not sure why the ITest interface is being ignored as I also tried that approach without success.
