I downloaded the TestNG NetBeans Plugin and tried to install it in my NetBeans 6.8. I m running NetBeans IDE 6.8 (Build 200912041610).
When I click install, I get this message:
Some plugins require plugin External Execution Support to be installed. The plugin External Execution Support is requested in version >= 1.19 but only 1.18.1 was found. The following plugin is affected: TestNG Support
Some plugins require plugin Common Test Runner API to be installed. The plugin Common Test Runner API is requested in version >= 1.13 but only 1.12.1 was found. The following plugin is affected: TestNG Support
Some plugins require plugin Utilities API to be installed. The plugin Utilities API is requested in version >= 8.0 but only 7.31.2.1 was found. The following plugin is affected: TestNG Support
Some plugins require plugin org.openide.util.lookup to be installed. The plugin org.openide.util.lookup is requested in version 8.0. The following plugin is affected: TestNG Support
Some plugins not installed to avoid potential installation problems.
Is it possible to use the TestNG plugin with Netbeans 6.8?
The plugin manager doesn t even seem to know about any of the dependency plugins. Is the TestNG plugin build against a beta or experimental version? I have updated all of my plugins to the latest versions.
Update
I went ahead and built the module from the Netbeans 6.8 branch. It installs fine now. Unfortunately, when I run the tests, I can see the ant output, but the TestNG view says "No tests Executed." I ll keep fiddling with it to see if I can get it working.
