How to run testng.xml from Command Prompt using org.testng.TestNG

I am trying to run testng.xml from command prompt. This is the command I'm running:

C:\Users\sathmakur>java -cp C:\Users\sathmakur\.m2\repository\org\testng\testng\
6.3.1\testng-6.3.1.jar org.testng.TestNG test.xml

I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/beust/jcommander/ ParameterException
        at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method)
        at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Unknown Source)

        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        ... 6 more

I'm new at using TestNG and Command Prompt. It would be a great help if someone could shed some light.

From the stack it is clear that the essential jar file named jcommander-x.xx.jar is missing from the class path. Add this jar file to class path and your command line execution should work.

Saritha,

The easier way is to include that testng.xml in your pom.xml. Maven Surefire plugin can be configured for the same. Refer to this link http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Maven2+And+TestNG.Example+pom.xml (Observe the suitexmlfile tag). Once you include your testng.xml. All you have to do is call "mvn test" from the command prompt.
