Run and debug annotations are not visible.

Description

This error occurs when TestNG annotations are not properly set up or implemented in your Selenium automation code. It can also occur if your test methods return a boolean value instead of void, which is not supported by TestNG.

Debugs:

Debug 1 Check your TestNG annotations: 

Make sure you have properly annotated your test methods with the @Test annotation. Also, ensure that you have set up the TestNG configuration file correctly and that it includes the appropriate classes and methods.

Debug 2 Check your test method return type: 

Ensure that your test methods have a return type of void and not boolean. If they return a boolean value, TestNG will not recognize them as test methods and they will not be executed.

Debug 3 Check your parameter passing: 

Make sure that you are not passing any parameters inside of your test methods. TestNG does not support parameterized tests with @Test annotations.

Extra Information: 
It is important to remember that TestNG is a testing framework for Java and not a testing tool itself. It provides annotations that help in organizing and executing test cases. Also, keep in mind that TestNG provides many other useful annotations such as @BeforeTest and @AfterTest that can help with test setup and teardown.

Example Code Snippet:


// Incorrect test method with boolean return type

@Test

public boolean testMethod() {

// Test code here

return true;

}

// Correct test method with void return type

@Test

public void testMethod() {
// Test code here

}
