Solution

  • Take a closer look at your ant-script, it use to define a TestNG ant task as:

    <taskdef resource="testngtasks" classpath="testng.jar"/>

    But in your case, you have this definition commented:

    <!--
<taskdef name="testng" classpath="/Users/mac/Downloads/selenium-2.47.1" classname="org.testng.TestNGAntTask" /> 
<!- use direct path for classpath if you don't prefer to use 'lib' directory: classpath="/Users/yash/Documents/Jar Files/testng-6.8.jar" ->
<taskdef name="testng" classname="org.testng.TestNGAntTask">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="./lib/testng.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
-->

    You need to uncomment it or add a new one defenition to your script.
