My execution halts while implemented the Data Driven Approach

Question

I have included few lines of code for data driven, where I will fetch the details from a Excel sheet and it will pass to the script in Run Time. Here my script won't execute and it hangs after returning the message in Eclipse Console:

Returning cached instance of singleton bean 'todoClient1'

Below attached the Code and package com.consol.citrus.integration.Demo.

 import java.util.Hashtable;

    import org.apache.log4j.helpers.SyslogWriter;

    public class UnSuccessFullLogin extends TestNGCitrusTestDesigner {

          @Autowired (required=true)
          @Qualifier("todoClient1")   
            private HttpClient todoClient1;

          public Xls_Reader xls=new Xls_Reader(Constants.DATA_XLS_PATH);
            String testCaseName="UnSuccessFullLogin";
            public String actualResult="";  


            @CitrusTest
            @Test(dataProvider="getData")
            public void TestPost(Hashtable<String, String> data) {

                variable("Uname", "admin2");
                variable("Pwd", "admin");
                if(!DataUtil.isTestExecutable(xls, testCaseName) ||  data.get(Constants.RUNMODE_COL).equals("N")){
                        throw new SkipException("Skipping the test as Rnumode is N");
                    } 
                http()

                    .client(todoClient1)

                    .payload("{ \"userName\": \"${Uname}\", \"password\": \"${Pwd}\"}");




                http()
                    .client(todoClient1)
                    .receive()
                    .response(HttpStatus.ACCEPTED)
                   .validate("$.statusCode", "400");

            }

            public Object[][] getData()
            {
                return DataUtil.getData(xls, testCaseName);
            }
        }

Answer 1

Please see the following working sample how to use TestNG data provider with Citrus:

public class DataProviderJavaIT extends TestNGCitrusTestDesigner {

    @CitrusTest
    @CitrusParameters( {"message", "delay"} )
    @Test(dataProvider = "sampleDataProvider")
    public void dataProvider(String message, Long sleep) {
        echo(message);
        sleep(sleep);

        echo("${message}");
        echo("${delay}");
    }

    @DataProvider
    public Object[][] sampleDataProvider() {
        return new Object[][] {
                { "Hello World!", 300L },
                { "Hallo Welt!", 1000L },
                { "Hallo Citrus!", 500L },
        };
    }
}

According to the sample you are missing the @CitrusParameters annotation that translates data provider arguments to Citrus test variables.
