Maven project using testng dependecy

Question

Hi

I’ve a simple “hello world” maven project.    I’ve added the following testing dependency under pom.xml.  My question is why is it still giving me an error on import org.testng.annotations.Test?  Shouldn’t the testng dependency under pom.xml take care of this?

Thanks in advance

package tests;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class NewTest
{
    @Test
    public  void mytest()
    {                
        System.out.println("Hello world");
    }
}
 
<dependencies>        
          <!-- TestNG -->
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
            <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
            <version>7.3.0</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
</dependencies>

Hello @zaraaq,

First try to replace the scope by compile as:

<dependencies>        
          <!-- TestNG -->
          <dependency>
            <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
            <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
            <version>7.3.0</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
</dependencies>

Or try this steps(I used Eclipse)):

1. Open pom.xml file.
2. Go to "Dependencies" tab.
3. Select "testng" package and click on "Properties..."
4. On opened screen change "Scope" option to "compile" and click "OK" to save it.
5. Try to build your project again with "compile test" goals.

Hope it works!!!
