build.xml problem

[Ajith]

Selenium - ANT -TestNG

I have written a build.xml, where it produces a error stating " classname attribute of taskdef element is undefined "

Here is my build.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<project name ="AutomationScripts" default="test" basedir=".">



<echo message ="Testing selenium server... Plz wait"/>


<target name="startServer">

<echo message ="Start selenium server... Plz wait"/> 

<java jar="..\lib\selenium-server-standalone-2.19.0.jar"

fork="true">

<jvmarg value="-Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.0.200"/>

<jvmarg value="-Dhttp.proxyPort=3128"/> </java>

<echo message ="Started selenium server"/>

</target>

<target name="test" depends="startServer">

<echo message="Test run. Please wait"/>

<mkdir dir="out" />

<java classname="RosettastoneMain" classpath="..\AutomationScripts\bin"

dir="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin">

<classpath>

<fileset dir="..\AutomationScripts\lib" includes="*.*"/>
</classpatha></java>
<taskdef name="testng" classpath="org.testng.TestNG">     ---------> It produces error in this stmt

<path id="classes">

</fileset>
<pathelement location="${bin.dir}"/>
</path>
<mkdir dir="${testng.output.dir}"/>
<testng outputdir="${testng.output.dir}" classpathref="classes"> 
<xmlfileset dir="." includes="testng.xml"/> 
</testng>
</target>

<target name="stopServer">
<echo message="stop selenium server. Plz wait"/>
<get taskname="selenium-shutdown"
src="http://localhost:4444/selenium-server-standalone-2.0rc2/driver/?cmd=shutDown"
dest="./out/sever.stop.status.txt" ignoreerrors="true"/>
</target>
</project>

Can any one help me out
Thanks in advance

I doubt about the class path and so build not being able to recognize the testng jar file.
More over this statement looks wrong -

</classpatha></java>

Yes , its an typo error

it looks </classpath></java> in my file

what should we do in order to recognize the testng jar
I have added to reference libraries - through configure build path
also added up in lib folder
but still produces the same error

Thanks

I can not really figure out, till I see project structure.
Let me share my project structure and build file where I am using testng task. This might help you -

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<project name="Test Project" basedir=".">

        <property name="basedir" value="." />

       
        <property name="SRC" value="${basedir}/src/com/temp" />

       
        <property name="lib" value="${basedir}/lib" />


       
        <property name="build" value="${basedir}/build" /> 

        <target name="init">
               
                <delete dir="${build}" />
                <mkdir dir="${build}" />
        </target>

        <target name="setClassPath">
                <path id="classpath_jars">
                        <pathelement path="${basedir}/" />
                        <fileset dir="${lib}" includes="*.jar" />
                </path>
                <pathconvert pathsep=":" property="test.classpath" refid="classpath_jars" />
        </target>

        <target name="loadTestNG" depends="setClassPath">
               
                <taskdef resource="testngtasks" classpath="${test.classpath}" />
        </target>
 
        <target name="compile" depends="init, setClassPath, loadTestNG">
                <echo message="classpath: ${test.classpath}" />
                <echo message="compiling..." />
                <javac source="1.6" srcdir="${SRC}" fork="true" destdir="${build}" classpath="${test.classpath}" />
        </target>

        <target name="runtest" depends="compile">
                <testng classpath="${test.classpath}:${build}" delegatecommandsystemproperties="true">
                        <xmlfileset dir="${basedir}" includes="testng.xml" />
                </testng>
        </target>

</project>

Try to map it to your project.
And my project structure -

Please let me know,if we should use ant specifically even if we use webdriver.

What is the purpose here for Ant + Selenium + Testng.

I generally use TestNG and Webdriver.
I think, webdriver can do the things what Ant does.

If I can understand what is it for, I can learn new things.
