TestNG
TestNG support
Adds support for creating, running, debugging and displaying results for TestNG tests in Ant and Maven based projects in NetBeans 6.5 and/or later except of NetBeans module projects.

Plugin Sources
- Generic + Ant support: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/contrib/file/tip/testng/
- Maven support: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/contrib/file/tip/testng.maven/
Note: sources are not compatible with release65 sources
Plugin Binaries
- Generic + Ant support: o.n.m.testng.nbm
- Maven support: o.n.m.testng-maven.nbm
Note: latest binaries are no longer compatible with 6.5.
Creating Tests
TestNG Test can be created:
- using New File -> TestNG -> TestNG Test Case wizard
- directly from the editor using TestNG -> Create Test... action in editor's context menu
The template for the test can be further configured in Tools -> Templates
Running/Debugging Tests
Because of tight integration of JUnit testing framework in NetBeans most IDE-wide tests related actions do not work for TestNG tests. Following table gives an overview about supported ways to run/debug tests in NetBeans 6.5 (better integration is planned for 7.0):
| Action | Ant projects - disabled compile on save | Ant projects - enabled compile on save | Maven projects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Run all tests in a project | Test (Alt+F6) | Test (Alt+F6) | Test (Alt+F6) |
| Run test | Run File (Shift+F6) | TestNG -> Run Test Class | Run File (Shift+F6) |
| Run test method | TestNG -> Run Test Method | TestNG -> Run Test Method | TestNG -> Run Test Method |
| Re-run failed test(s) | TestNG -> Re-run Failed Tests | TestNG -> Re-run Failed Tests | TestNG -> Re-run Failed Tests |
| Debug test | TestNG -> Debug Test Class | TestNG -> Debug Test Class | TestNG -> Debug Test Class |
| Debug test method | TestNG -> Debug Test Method | TestNG -> Debug Test Method | TestNG -> Debug Test Method |
Note: TestNG here refers to TestNG action group in editor's context menu
TestNG Results Window
Results window provides almost the same set of features as the JUnit one + adds ability to re-run only failed tests from a previous run, run/debug only particular test suite/test case directly from the results window and open test suite or test method in the editor. On-line reporting and showing results in this window in Maven projects is not supported yet.
Issues
- no outputtab -> test source navigation in case of a fail in @Test(expectedExceptions={Exception.class})
- new testng test wizard should not allow user to create a test in source packages(f. in 37ef1c5d7b81)
- debug junit test opens testng output window
- should get rid of junit libs in a project if testng test is the first test created there?
- testng test file template(s) should have its own category in new project wizard (or need to convince Marian to rename JUnit category to sth more generic ie. Test (?))(f. in 7b07d6e97a05)
- no way to pass system properties to testng tests yet (testng task does not support systempropertyset)
- create some WEB app., EJB module or AppClient and some java class (or servlet and so one) and test for it, then try build this project --> it fails(f. in 601cb4c52cf1)
- have some java class in <default package> and try to create test --> test will not be created and it will finish with the exception(f. in 8604ebee632c).
