Question

I’m trying to assign groups to TestNG classes and methods in a Scala environment (in Eclipse)

@Test(groups="register")
class RegisterTest {
...

but am encountering the following error:

Multiple markers at this line
- type mismatch; found : java.lang.String("register") required: 
Array[java.lang.String]
- annotation argument needs to be a constant; found: "register"{<error>}

I’ve tried applying groups to individual Scala methods but still encounter the same error.

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

The@Testannotation works as long as it doesn’t specify any parameters (same error if dependsOnMethodsparameter is specified).

@DataProviderannotation also works.

The ScalaDoc gives the following example:

@Test(groups = Array("com.mycompany.groups.SlowTest"))
def funTest() {
  sb.append("fun!")
  assert(sb.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
  assert(lb.isEmpty)
}

That seems to match the error you get.
