Integration of TestNG and Beanshell
How To Pass a Group Name to be Run at Runtime in TestNG XML Using Beanshell
Problem statement:
You have created so many test methods with different groups. You do not need to run all group every time. You need to include or exclude groups as per requirements. You need to add include or exclude tags in testng xml which is not easier always. It will be even more difficult for a beginner or a business analyst or people with less technical knowledge to update testng xml to run. In this post, we will see how can we pass multiple group names.
Problem Solution:
WIll it not be good if you can pass group names at run time and no need to change anything in testng xml? Yes, its possible using beanshell.
TestNG class:
;
Testng XML:
- “groupToRun” is a VM arguments which we can be passed through run configuration. Beanshell script will read it at run time and will execute group which we pass.
- If no VM argument is passed, it will run all groups. So this testng xml can be used to run all groups as well as selected groups.
- If a method belongs to any of passed group names, that method will be executed otherwise ignored.
Passing VM arguments in Run configurations:
Navigate to Run -> Run Configurations:
Select testng xml for which arguments need to be passed:
Click or Arguments tab and type in VM arguments as -DgroupToRun=,,. Pass multiple group names separated by comma.
Output:
Method tagged to either groups run.
