I have a Java project that I’ve been developing primarily in windows. I have some unit tests that I’ve written in TestNG that I also run… I’m using TestNG version 5.14.1
My project compiles fine under OS X. The TestNG tests also compile fine.. However when I try to execute the unit tests the task fails with the following error:
Omair-Inams-MacBook-Pro:PNServices omairkhawaja$ ant clean testng

As the command-line output in the beginning shows, my suite.xml file is located in the appropriate directory.. I’m not sure why TestNG runs successfully on windows but fails to run on OS X .. Any ideas?
The issue happened due to a ReportNG dependency being downloading using the maven ant task which also declares a dependency on an ancient TestNG version which was being picked up first in the classpath and causing the testng ant target to fail.
I ran into a similar issue on Windows recently .. and after floundering for a while discovered what the issue was.. I was attempting importing the ReportNG dependency using the maven dependency ant task… and it was downloading an old version of TestNG… As noted by Marcin Zajączkowski to use reportNG in maven you need to exclude the transitive TestNG dependency.. I don’t know if there’s a synonymous fix possible when using the ant maven task.
