Unable to run testng from command line

I am able to run testng perfectly fine from within Eclipse. However, I want to run it using command line (Win 8) as explained on different forums. Here are different things I am trying with the errors -

1.
java -cp "D:\testng\testng-6.8.7.jar" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/beust/jcommander/

2. java -cp "D:\testng\testng-6.8.7.jar:{$PATH_TILL_HERE}\target\test-classes\org\test\automation\links\LinksTest.cl
ass" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
Error: Could not find or load main class org.testng.TestNG

Thanks for any pointers.

Add jcommander.jar in D:\testng and run this command:

java -cp "D:\testng\*" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml

adding JCommander to the classpath solves the issue.

Like the error suggests, you need to include JCommander in your classpath. You can follow the above link to the most recent version and click the "Artifact" link to download the Jar.

In your command line command you try to run testng.jar, unfortunately testng.jar uses JCommander and it is a dependency. It must also have the location of that jar as well to execute.

java -cp "D:\testng\testng-6.8.7.jar":"this should be replaced with the path to your Jcommander jar" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml //hopefully this works

Someone should send a note to testng to put the jcommander code into their jar.

Fixed the issue by using surefire plugin to run TestNG tests using "mvn package" command and resolving all the dependency on external jars.

I guess you are using a jar that does not contain dependencies like JCommander (probably the one created to use with Maven). Try using the jar from this zip.
