Parameter with BeforeTest is not reading more than one class test

Hello All,

I have two test case classes, Test1.java

                 @Test
             public void runTestCase(){
            System.out.println("Test is running 1 "); 
                  }

Test2.java

          @Test
       public void runTestCase(){
      System.out.println("Test is running 2 ");
      }

I have one base class where the parameters are defined with @BeforeTest(). BaseClass.java

import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;`
   import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
   import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
   import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;

 public class BasicClass  {
  private String browserName;
        @Parameters({"Browser"})
    @BeforeTest()
    public void getBrowserNameFromTestNG(String browserName){   
        this.browserName = browserName;
    }


    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp(){

        String browser = browserName;

        if(browser.equals("Chrome")){
            System.out.println("Chrome Launched Successfully");
        }else if(browser.equals("Firefox")){
            System.out.println("Firefox Launched Successfully");
        }else{
            System.out.println("IE Launched Successfully");
        }

    }

    @AfterClass
    public void tearDown(){
        System.out.println("Closing Browser");
    }

testng.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="Testing Parameterization" parallel="false" thread-count="3">
<test  verbose="1" name="Test_Chrome">
     <parameter name="Browser" value="Chrome"/>
     <classes>
            <class name="Test1.java" />
            <class name="Test2.java" />
    </classes>
 </test>

<test  verbose="1" name="Test_Firefox"> 
     <parameter name="Browser" value="Chrome"/>
     <classes>
            <class name="Test1.java" />
            <class name="Test2.java" />
    </classes>
 </test>

</suite>

Objective: Need to run two test cases (which is available in one package) with different browsers. Base class will call browser one time and set it for running accordingly.

Issue: When i run testng.xml, it is taking only the first class Test1.java and for Test2.java is showing configuration issue as Null Point Exception.

@Vishnu1067 I am having the same issue using the same structure as you used. Please let me know if you get any workaround for the same.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the link and it is not my scenario. I want parameterization

my scenario would be like this,

Lets say Application model;

Module A - 5 screens (Quote, Booking, File, etc) Module B - 3 Pages

Eclipse structure

Creating Test Packages Package 1 - modulea - 5 class - each class have minimum 20 test cases Package 2 - moduleb - 3 class - each class have minimum 20 test cases

<test package 1 with firefox> <parameter> <class1> <class2> <class3> <class4> <class5> </test>

<test package 1 with IE> <parameter> <class1> <class2> <class3> <class4> <class5> </test>

<test package 2 with firefox> <parameter> <class1> <class2> <class3> </test>

<test package 2 with IE> <parameter> <class1> <class2> <class3> </test>

now i want to execute all the cases in chrome, Firefox and IE in parallel. All test cases in one class should execute in same browser (not launch browser on each test case).

This is my scenario. Anyway i’ve made work around my framework until new feature comes up.

Once again thanks for reply.

Regards, Vishnu.
