Maven Compilation error [package org.testng.annotations does not exist]
maven, pom.xml, testng
Solution
I've got similar problem. The reason for that was "Scope" option of "testng" dependency set to "test" when "compile" was needed.
How I fixed it (note, I used Eclipse):
- Open pom.xml file.
- Go to "Dependencies" tab.
- Select "testng" package and click on "Properties..."
- On opened screen change "Scope" option to "compile" and click "OK" to save it.
- Try to build your project again with "compile test" goals.
Problem
I'm pretty new to maven and I want to run my test classes using maven. I have generated the testng.xml and I have created the POM.xml file also. But when you run the `mvn install`, it generates this error : [package org.testng.annotations does not exist] please advice on this. pom.xml ``` <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.TestNG</groupId> <artifactId>TestNG</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.testng</groupId> <artifactId>testng</artifactId> <version>6.1.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <source>1.7</source> <target>1.7</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.16</version> <configuration> <suiteXmlFiles> <suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile> </suiteXmlFiles> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project> ``` testng.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd"> <suite name="Suite" verbose="1" preserve-order="true"> <test name="Test"> <packages> <package name="com.testngTest2" /> <package name="com.testngTest" /> </packages> </test> <!-- Test --> </suite> <!-- Suite --> ```
