How to create .bat file for rest assured project? - batch-file

Question

I am working on a Rest-Assured project which consists of testng.xml file also. I am trying to run the testng.xml file through batch. But it gives me error as -
could not find or load main class org.testng.TestNG
Below is the code for the batch file :-
cd C:\Users\workspace\RestAssured
set projectPath=C:\Users\workspace\RestAssured
java org.testng.TestNG "%projectPath%\testng.xml"
pause
I went through numerous batch file creation solution but still I am not able to replicate it. And also, in some solutions I see they have added classpath also like - set classpath=C:\Users\workspace\RestAssured\bin. But this bin folder doesn't exist in my project.
And also, Let's say, I have my project at C drive location. How to take the path of the project dynamically for different users?

Answer 1

You need to ensure that you set the class path properly.
Here's what you need to do:
Download the latest version of TestNG 7.0.0 from here.
Download the dependencies that TestNG and have them made available in a folder (say lib). The easiest way of figuring out the actual download URLs is by doing
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2" + groupId + "/ + artifactId + "/" + version (replace all . with /)
<dependency>
<groupId>com.beust</groupId>
<artifactId>jcommander</artifactId>
<version>1.72</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.ant</groupId>
<artifactId>ant</artifactId>
<version>1.10.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.12</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.yaml</groupId>
<artifactId>snakeyaml</artifactId>
<version>1.21</version>
</dependency>
Once you have everything in your lib folder, create a batch file wherein you set the classpath to refer to all the jars in the lib folder,
cd C:\Users\workspace\RestAssured
set projectPath=%cd%
java -classpath "lib/*" org.testng.TestNG "%projectPath%\testng.xml"
pause
This should take care of all of your questions.
