Description

Groovy appears not to be able to run TestNG tests. The code:

@Grab('org.testng:testng:6.8.5')
@Grab('org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-testng:2.2.0-SNAPSHOT')
import org.testng.annotations.Test
import static org.testng.Assert.assertEquals

class testngFails {
  @Test void calculateTheResult() {
    assertEquals('Hello World.', 'Hello World.')
  }
}

when executed results in the output:

Caught: org.testng.TestNGException:
An error occurred while instantiating class testngFails: null
