Question

public class MainClass {

    public static void main(String [] args) throws ClassNotFoundException{
            //String[] xyz = {"Client1"};
            List<XmlSuite> suites = new ArrayList<XmlSuite>(); 
            XmlSuite suite=new XmlSuite();

            suite.setName("Demo");

            XmlTest test=new XmlTest(suite);
            List<String> groups=new ArrayList<String>();
            for(String arg:args){
                groups.add(arg);
            }
            List<XmlClass> classes =new ArrayList<XmlClass>();
            System.out.println(Class.forName("TrailAndTest.TestClass"));
            classes.add(new XmlClass(Class.forName("TrailAndTest.TestClass")));

            test.setXmlClasses(classes);
            test.setIncludedGroups(groups);

            suites.add(suite);  

            TestNG tng = new TestNG();
            tng.setXmlSuites(suites);

            tng.run();

        }

}

In my code I have written public class is defined “public class Mainclass” and file is saved with name MainClass.java When I try to execute this code from command prompt i get error:

1. C:\Selenium\Code\Test\src\TrailAndTest\Mainclass.java:13: class
   MainClass is pub lic, should be declared in a file named
   MainClass.java public class MainClass
   ^ 1 error

Answer 1

The class and file names are case sensitive. Rename the file to “MainClass.java” with a capital C to match the class name.
