Got the IDE working again  The solution is quite funny - and even a re-install  and deleting the IDE does not fix it on windows  What you need to do in that case  is to go to the testNG run configurations - and delete them all   This is for the TestNG XML classpath error on windows OS  I am using spring tools suite 3 6 4   Make certain that you delete all the configurations  make sure the project can build  and if there are no problems  the test should run now   Regards -Anthony Toorie

You have to edit your tests Runner xml file  See this example     lt test name  Employees Test  gt                  lt classes gt                         lt class name  packagename classname  gt                          lt  class gt                  lt  classes gt    lt  test gt    In  lt class name  packagename classname  gt  row you must enter your tests package name then name of class that you want to run   Thanks and wish you all the best

I had this same problem when I imported my project from one PC to another on IntelliJ IDEA   Below Solution worked for me    Import project using Git  After Importing IDE would prompt you a dialog on the bottom right corner saying  Import as Gradle   you need to select that but make Sure you have set JAVA HOME and GRADLE Gradle Home or Gradle wrapper both should work  properly  Run the build gradle and make sure all the dependencies are downloaded correctly without any error  Now move to your Test Case and try to run with TestNG or JUnit and if you have followed above 3 steps properly you should able to run the test case

I also ran into the same problem with TestNG version 6 14 2  However  this was due to a foolish mistake on my end and there is no issue whatsoever with maven  testng or eclipse  What I was doing was -   Run project as  mvn clean  Select  testng xml  file and right click on it to run as TestNG suite This was giving me the same error as reported in the original question I soon realized that I have not compiled the project and the required class files have not been generated that the TestNG would utilize subsequently The  target  folder will be generated only after the project is compiled  Run as  mvn build   If your project is compiled  this issue should not be there

Let me share what worked for me    When we do  mvn clean   - we are cleaning old compiled classes please lgo to ocation  your project directroy -  target   you will find this folder is getting cleaned because that s where MVN places it s compiled artifacts  Since it s already a MAVEN project then go to your project folder and open in command prompt  And issue  mvn clean  and then  mvn test  -   mvn test  command will place all the compiled files under proper folders and then you can run your tests through TestNG or MAVEN itself    Make sure you set up  M2 HOME  or  MAVEN HOME  to your env path   sometime   MAVEN HOME  doesn t work so add  M2 HOME  as well  google it for this set up    Above suggestions worked for me so I wanted to share  good luck
