runtest tesng.xml does not run any test - maven

Question

When I try to execute my automated tests with:
runtest.bat testng.xml
and I get this:
===============================================
Selenium Tests
Total tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Skips: 0
===============================================
The solutions I found are:
clean the project -> did not work
check the #Test annotations before every automated test-> yes. I have them
check the import: import org.testng.annotations.Test; -> yes I have it
I ran out of ideas, could anyone help me? Thanks

Answer 1

I faced this similar issue, i think u have imported external libraries also, please remove all your libraries from build path as dependencies are already added in POM.xml, now refresh your project and now run the maven test, it should work, please keep me posted I can guide you through this issue.

Answer 2

You need to configure your testng xml file in POM.xml file.
The annotation #Test you are using is for testng tests. So Maven doesn't get the tests to be executed.
You need to add testng.xml file in your POM.xml file for any plugin such as maven-surefire-plugin like :
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
