Unable to generate allure report using testng and maven

Question

TestNG Version

7.1.0

Expected behavior

mvn test command should execute the test normally, knowing that same POM was working fine before until I update testNG and some other dependencies, I'm using allure with testNG and maven as well, now if I disabled allure-TestNG test will be executed but allure won't generate any report

Actual behavior

I'm getting this error Please refer to C:\Users\warrior\Desktop\MobileAutomationTest\target\surefire-reports for the individual test results. Please refer to dump files (if any exist) [date].dump, [date]-jvmRun[N].dump and [date].dumpstream. There was an error in the forked processorg/testng/IInvokedMethodListener2 org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooterForkException: There was an error in the forked processorg/testng/IInvokedMethodL istener2

Is the issue reproducible on a runner?

Answer 1

Try this command on your project folder path in your terminal

mvn io.qameta.allure:allure-maven:serve

Answer 2

Same error for me also and it resolved via downgrading test-ng version to 7.0.0

Answer 3

The problem here is with Allure reports which is NOT compatible with TestNG 7.1.0.

TestNG 7.1.0 removed the listener IInvokedMethodListener2 interface.

This needs to be fixed in Allure reports.
