Jar file from LeanFT project - Class not acceptable

I have some TestNG based LeanFT test cases and try to generate jar file. I use IntelliJ IDEA to set artifact's details under File -> Project Structure -> Project Settings -> Artifacts -> Jar -> From modules with dependencies. I select classname, but get error, that is not acceptable.

UPDATE 2018.05.03. I created main method in a new class, but got same error message.

import org.testng.TestNG;
import org.testng.xml.Parser;
import org.testng.xml.XmlSuite;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;

public class LeanFTest {
    public void main() throws IOException, SAXException, ParserConfigurationException {
        TestNG testNG = new TestNG();

        String xmlFileName = "testng.xml";
        List<XmlSuite> suite = (List<XmlSuite>)(new Parser(xmlFileName).parse());
        testNG.setXmlSuites(suite);

        testNG.run();
    }
}

It seems you have some kind of combination between test project (using LeanFT TestNG template), java app, who-knows-what-else app.

If you have a main method and still want to trigger TestNG tests, you need to use the TestNG class. For example

TestNG testNG = new TestNG();
testNG.setTestClasses(WebTestFactory.class);
testNG.run();

You can read more about this approach in the official docs or in this SO thread

If you don't have a main class, you should create one. (how else could a .jar file know what is the entry point?).

All in all, this error indicates there's a conflict between project type and project structure (content)

As per your recent comment: Could you please show me example/pattern, where to put main() method?

1. You can create a new class file or even use LeanFTest

2. Create main method.

   Whatever you do in the main method will drive your whole app. In your specific case (executing TestNG tests) you will need to do the followings, in your main method:

3. Create a test ng instance (TestNG testNG = new TestNG();)

4. Use this instance to prepare the test suite

   Pointing towards the SO thread above (again), it would mean something like:

   String xmlFileName = "testng.xml";
   List<XmlSuite> suite = (List <XmlSuite>)(new Parser(xmlFileName).parse());
   testNG.setXmlSuites(suite);
   

5. Run the suite

   testNG.run();
   

After that, when you create your artifact, you point to the class that has the main method and double clicking the .jar (or executing it from command line) should start the test suite.
