Running tests with TestNG fails

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 19

What happened

Attempt to run tests with TestNG installed in the classpath, I get the following error

Exception in thread "main" org.testng.TestNGException: Couldn't find a constructor in class org.testng.reporters.VerboseReporter at org.testng.internal.objects.InstanceCreator.newInstance(instancecreator.java:57) at org.testng.ITestObjectFactory.newInstance(itestobjectfactory.java:10)

....

How to reproduce

Install TestNG with required dependencies and run a test.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

Operating System

Windows

JDK

Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache NetBeans provided installer

Anything else

It works correctly if I run the test via a Test Runner, but if I right click and select run file or test file it throws that error. I narrowed it down to the TestNGAntTask in the build-impl.XML file where the listeners attribute has the VerboseReporter package listed - if I remove that it works.

Are you willing to submit a pull request?

I've been able to reproduce this on two separate machines.

All libraries are in the classpath:

This is there the VerboseReporter is referenced in the build-impl.xml
