We are trying to run the testng file through maven command.
The testng file name: testSMOKE.xml.
The maven command:
mvn clean test -Dtestng.suite.xml.file=config/components/smoke/testSmoke.xml
The command works in Windows machines, but the same command did not work in linux machines due to the filename of the test suite.
Exception:
[ERROR] at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java:406)

What is the difference here?
In Windows file names are not case sensitive, so testSMOKE.xml = testSmoke.xml.
In Linux, file names are case sensitive, so testSMOKE.xml and testSmoke.xml are different files. Make sure your command line argument matches the file name in a case sensitive match:
mvn clean test -Dtestng.suite.xml.file=config/components/smoke/testSMOKE.xml
