Needs TestNG support

[SebTardif]

TestNG was mainly created to fix the flaw of JUnit. TestNG generates compatible JUnit report, is fully Maven compatible, and has an Eclipse plug-ins.

We need native integration with TestNG to be able to leverage our existing tests framework via Cucumber.

[aslakhellesoy]

The JUnit Cucumber runner is a way to kick off Cucumber from JUnit. When you use this you only use the assertion parts of JUnit.

TestNG may bring improvements over JUnit, but these are primarily in how tests are organised, not how assertions are written.

Since none of these are relevant when using Cucumber I'm not sure I understand what benefits a TestNG runner would provide.

Can you elaborate?

[SebTardif]

Our existing automated tests, that are not using Cucumber, are using TestNG due to the design fix it has. Was impossible to do the same with JUnit.

So now we want to add more automated tests to the same suites but using Cucumber, so we will end-up to have a mix of automated tests approach. The same run should end-up with a single JUnit report, and single coverage report.

Also, in the IDE, users want to run all of them using the same plug-in, in this case the TestNG plugin.

Our automated tests are testing UI using Selenium and also do coverage analysis, it has complex life-cycle to put all the pieces together, we have this life-cycle handled with TestNG.

I see, makes sense. I'm not planning on using TestNG any time soon, so I won't be the one implementing it.

were you planning to contribute a cucumber-testng module?

+1 for TestNG support

I've used the TestNG test factory solution outlined here: https://github.com/talios/cucumber-testng-factory
It works well ... possibly this can be integrated into Cucumber-JVM somehow.

We made TestNG wrapper for Cucmber: https://github.com/lionhearth/cucumber-testng. But it'll be great to have TestNG support out from the box.

@gimlet2 what are you waiting for? Send us a pull request :-)

[aslakhellesoy]

@gimlet2 are you interested in making this a part of cucumber-jvm just like cucumber-junit?

I am new in GitHub, but may consider pooling and adjusting https://github.com/talios/cucumber-testng-factory

[aslakhellesoy]

@gimlet2 you said you'd be able to have TestNG support out of the box. That will only happen if you send us a pull request. Are you still interested in that or not?

Hi aslakhellesoy,

now that cucumber-jvm supports testNg, what is needed for a project that is implemented with junit tests to be covered to TestNg , a little instruction will be of great help. We need to do this as we wanted to support multi browser testing using selenium grid which can not be achieved with junit.
Thank you in advance
