Not able to run Test cases in TestNG

Question

I am not able to run the test cases in my eclipse IDE. I am getting the below messages when I run one or more test cases. Can anybody tell me the solution ?

can u try updating eclipse testng plugin as well as TestNG jar to 6.9.11 — Mrunal Gosar, Aug 23 '16 at 13:35
there is no such version 6.8.9 on Maven Central: http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.testng%22%20AND%20a%3A%22testng%22, so i'm wondering how did you have this version? can you update TestNG to 6.8.21 (the last of 6.8.x) or to the latest 6.9.12 (available on JCenter) — XuQing Tan, Aug 24 '16 at 01:52

I was facing similar issues. Upgrading testng, eclipse, nothing helped. Finally I could resolve this issue. Solution that worked for me is given below:
Testng version mentioned in Maven: 6.8.7
Eclipse TestNG plugin version: 6.11
Eclipse Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3)

Go to Eclipse > Project Explorer > right click on project name > go to Build Path > configure build path > Properties for project window opens > search for testng > expand testng > Maven option appears > click on Maven> uncheck "Properties (TestNG CLI arguments)" option > eclipse setting screenshot > apply

If you are using Eclipse LUNA version follow below steps: Go to Eclipse > Project Explorer > right click on project name > go to Build Path > configure build path > Properties for project window opens > search and click testng > enable project specific testng checkbox

I had the same weird problem and solved it by compiling the project and running the test again.

To tell the whole story: In my maven project I deleted the "target" folder and tried running the test. It now failed with "Unable to read methods on class... unable to resolve class reference....".

So by executing Maven with "package"-goal, I realized there is a failure in my pom.xml (target version in maven-compiler-plugin was anything but 1.8). After fixing this, my Maven build runs without problems. With the new classes in the new target fold TestNG runs again.
