Question

On using TestNG with Java, i get the following error:
‘Type mismatch: cannot convert test to Annotation’

Note: Using eclipse IDE.
The build path has the TestNG jar included
Also TestNG plugin for eclipse IDE has been installed.

Could you please tell me why i get the above error?

Thanks

Code:

import org.testng.annotations.*;
public class ChangeResolutionOnMainWatch {

    @BeforeTest

    public void startTest() throws Exception {
        watch.startSelenium();
        stream_delay=Integer.parseInt(System.getProperty("stream_delay").trim());
    }

    @Test 

    public void launchFalcon()throws Exception{

        watch.deleteAllCookie();
        watch.launchFalcon();
    }
}          

In the above piece of code the ‘@Test’ notation gives the error

Answer 1

Though import org.testng.annotations.*;
imports everything, it did not work.
But when I imported only the required classes it worked fine.

BEFORE:

import org.testng.annotations.*;  

which did not work

AFTER:

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;   
import org.testng.annotations.Test;   
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;

which worked
