Announcing TestNG 2.3

The TestNG team is happy to announce the availability of TestNG 2.3.

The version is available at http://beust.com/testng as well as the new documentation, which has been considerably improved (highlighted code snippets, detailed DTD, ant task and description of all the new features).

What's new:

  • beforeSuite, afterSuite, beforeTest, afterTest
  • Revamped ant task with haltonfailure and other helpful flags
  • Better stack traces and improved level control for verbosity
  • Better syntax for including and excluding methods in testng.xml
  • Test classes can be invoked on the command line
  • ... and many bug fixes.

For Eclipse users, a new version (1.1.1) of the Eclipse plug-in that includes this new TestNG version is available on the remote update site or for direct download.

Also, TestNG has joined OpenSymphony (big thanks to Patrick and Hani for setting this up).  As a consequence of this move, there is now a TestNG users forum as well as a Wiki and JIRA for issue tracking.

The users mailing-list has been moved to Google Groups and is connected to the forum, so you only need to subscribe to one.

Try it and let us know what you think!

Great ! Just one thing I stumbled upon, but I don't know if it's worth fixing.
I can't remember the exacts steps, but it involves a combination of JDK 1.4 and 1.5 in the same Eclipse config. The rough scenario is: create class, annotate code (tiger way), create TestNG running configuration with the wizard, launch... nothing happens. The xml file was created with annotations="false" (which was perhaps correct at the time where the configuration was created), and thus it wasn't looking the config in the right place.

Perhaps it could issue a warning or an info message if annotates is false and tiger annotations are found?

This is great that you are progressing (especially with the plugin).

It will make testNG more popular.

I just noticed in the plugin that right click menu on the existing test has strange text labels (looks like it is missing recources)

!ExpandAllAction.text!

or !OpenEditorAction.label.text!

Is it a bug?
