How to setup jenkins to run Selenium / Maven / TestNG

I'd like to be able to run by Jenkins a series of test from Selenium. I've see a lot of topic about the subject but it's not clear to me.

Do I need to call maven to run the project or can I directly call Testng ?

Also do I need with Jenkins to call my project using maven or using Ant ?

What is the best practice. Is there specific plugin that I need.

You can use run TestNG scripts in Jenkins with or without Maven. Maven as a build tool, in my opinion, looks more robust and gives you more flexibility than Ant.

To run pure TestNg script in Jenkins, enter the following in the 'build' section:

D:>java -cp "Pathtolibfolder\lib\*;Pathtobinfolder\bin" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
  • Click on Save button.
  • Note: The actual path of lib and bin folder need to add the in above command.
  • After saving the command, Jenkins will build project in predefined time, and this command will run using TestNG.
  • The result will be stored in custom report HTML file that can be sent via email with a small Jenkins configuration

You can call testng through maven or ant. There is no direct runner plugin for Jenkins.

You might need the TestNG plugin to show the results inside Jenkins, but it is optional. Best practice is to use maven or ant. You can find a nice ant example here
