Selenium : Simple build.xml Code for TestNG

Simple build.xml Code for TestNG

Below is the code to run TestNG suite using build.xml.Note that this does not generate xslt report or you can say below code is a cleaned up version without xslt reporting.

(You can also auto generate using Eclipse :
File -> Export -> General -> Ant Buildfiles and specify the file name, project, etc. )

Steps below:

1. Open Eclipse >Navigate to your project.
2. On your project folder > Right ck > Create New File  and Name it as "build.xml"
3. Copy paste the below code with required modifications.

Note : TestNG.xml is considered to directly reside in the project folder (you can copy paste the TestNG.xml into your project folder ).

Code Below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
]>

<project name="Learning TestNG" default="usage" basedir=".">
