Hello everyone. I am running into a weird issue with running testng.
Any time that I try to run a TestNG class, by right-click > Run,  I
get an error

Indeed, if I look at the
~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea90/temp-testng-customsuite.xml it's
missing the name attribute on the test tag:

 "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

Any ideas ? I tried reinstalling Intellij, I deleted the caches
folder, I restarted it, I deleted all the installed plugins.

Thank you,

Oh, it's Intellij 9.

Anyway, I fixed it, after a fashion. I searched more on the web, and I figured out that the test name is taken from the project name. For some reason, my project (maybe because it was imported from Eclipse projects) was defined by two files, but it didn't have a name; it was basically ".ipr", and ".iws". I simply renamed the ipr and iws file to actually have a name, and now it works.

So maybe the problem is that I had the project files without a name. I don't know exactly how this came to be, but maybe it's something one could look out for.

Thanks,

I've faced with similar problem:
