Answer 1

Hey Himanshi, you can run testNG with command prompt by using following line of commands:

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Ruksar\workspace\TestNG

set classpath=C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Ruksar\workspace\TestNG\bin;C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Ruksar\workspace\TestNG\lib\*
 
java org.testng.TestNG C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Ruksar\workspace\TestNG\testng.xml

Add the google-guice-core dependency in the pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.inject</groupId>
    <artifactId>guice</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.0</version>
</dependency>

or download the jar here and add it to the classpath.

Thank you so much for a quick reply.  I'm very new to selenium, I have not used maven yet.  Can we not run testng file from command line without using maven?

Thanks again

Thank you so much for assisting, I didn't have to have POM.xml but I did need to download the guice-4.2.2.jar and add it to lib folder.  Once I did that, it worked.

Once again thank you.
