How to add @parameter annotation for TestNG in Eclipse

Question

I'm trying to do parameterization for TestNG in Eclipse but the annotation @parameter is not being shown. How to add @parameter annotation for TestNG in eclipse?

Answer 1

Are you trying to add TestNG parameters annotations to pass parameters to your test method? TestNG uses @Parameter annotation for this purpose. Try with capitalized letters.

import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
@Parameters
public class helloWorldTest {
    @Parameters(value="blah")
    public void testHelloWord() {

    }

}

Answer 2

Here is how you pass parameters from your testng.xml file into your tests using TestNG. There are 2 ways you can do it:

import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
import org.testng.ITestContext;

public class helloWorldTest {

    @Parameters(value="blah")
    @Test       
    public void testDirectParameters() {
        System.out.println(blah);
    }

    @Test       
    public void testIndirectParameters(ITestContext context) {
        String blahString = context.getCurrentXmlTest().getParameter("blah");
        System.out.println(blahString);
    }

}

Answer 3

including above make sure that you have included testng jar in your project. If you have maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
    <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
    <version>6.9.4</version>
</dependency>
