How to pass java code a parameter from Maven for testing?
TestNG is a testing framework and can use Maven as build tool. It helps to maintain dependencies and their version at one place in pom.xml
Maven provides flexibility to run using surefire plugin. Surefire plugin has feature to pass paramaeter from pom.xml to TestNG class or any java code. To achieve this, surefire plugin has another tag named as systemPropertyVariables where user can pass n number of variables and assign the value to these variables at run time using command line.
In this article we will illustrate how to pass a parameter from maven to java code.
Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem
Step 1: Create a TestNG classes − NewTestngClass
Step 2: Write 2 @Test method in the class.
Step 3: Add systemPropertyVariable in pom.xml as shown in program code section. Variable is ${env.user}
Step 4: Now pass the value of the variable at run time in command.
mvn test −Denv.user=UAT
Step 5: Now, verify whether the same value of the variable is accessed or not.
Example
The following code to show how to run only 1 test method from a large suite:
src/test/java/NewTest.java
import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class NewTest {
@Test()
public void testCase1() {
System.out.println("in test case 1 of NewTestngClass");
System.out.println("Regression" + System.getProperty("environment"));
}
@Parameters("environment")
@Test()
public void testCase2(String environment) {
System.out.println("in test case 2 of NewTestngClass");
System.out.println("Environment name is- "+environment);
}
}
pom.xml
This is a maven configuration file that is used to organize dependencies, plugins and run the TestNG test cases.
It is very handy when limited tests are needed to execute rather than full suite.
