TestNG is not running tests

Question

I've set up TestNG and am trying to run it, but it's not running any of my classes. Here's the output:

[SuiteRunner] Created 1 TestRunners

and here's my xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
    <suite name="Test by groups">
      <test verbose="10" name="GRP-test">
       <groups>
        <run>
          <include name="test"/>
        </run>
       </groups>

      </test> <!-- GRP-test -->
    </suite> <!-- Test by groups -->

What I'm trying to do is get my selenium tests to run. I've gotten them to run successfully in eclipse, but I'm moving over to the command line to make it a bit easier (irony, right?).

Here's my command line:

C:\Users\myName\workspace\Test>java -cp C:\Users\myName\Documents\Eclipse\li
bs\testng-6.8.jar;C:\Users\myName\workspace\Test\bin\test\* org.testng.TestNG
testng.xml

Answer 1

You need to add classes or package from which the groups would be picked up. Just the groups tag won't work.

Adding an example from testng documentation (you can specify a package as well based on need):

<test name="Test1">
  <groups>
    <run>
      <include name="functest"/>
    </run>
  </groups>
  <classes>
    <class name="example1.Test1"/>
  </classes>
</test>
