Using multiple Classes with Maven/Hudson and TestNG

Question

We use several testing classes within one test folder. When I run mvn test, all tests are run and I can see the output in the shell. But the resulting testng-results.xml only has the results of the last class which was tested in it. This isn't too bad for me, but our hudson server only displays these last results and only marks a build as failed if one test within that last class failed.

How can I use TestNG with tests split over several classes which will be aggregated into on results-xml?

[update] Just found this question, but also no answer. [/update]

Answer 1

Does the console output tells you that all tests are run?

Answer 2

I'm not quite sure what's going on with Hudson but have you tried creating a testng.xml file and telling Surefire to use that testng.xml file instead of just discovering all the Java files that match *Test*java?

(just a shot in the dark)

This is how you do it:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
    <configuration>
      <suiteXmlFiles>
        <suiteXmlFile>src/test/resources/testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
      </suiteXmlFiles>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

Answer 3

execute separate test classses in separate tags in one testNg file and use maven-surefire 2.5 plugin
