You would need to ensure that you have built a jar that contains the test classes. Your post doesn't explain whether that's the case.

Please refer to https://testng.org/#_running_tests_from_within_a_test_jar to see a complete example of how to use TestNG to run tests that are part of a jar.

To instruct TestNG to look for tests in a jar you should be using the -testjar command line argument and if you are looking to have TestNG use a specific suite file within the jar you would need to provide the location via the command line argument -xmlpathinjar

Below is a sample command:

java -jar target/uber-testjar-demo-1.0-SNAPSHOT-test-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
-testjar target/uber-testjar-demo-1.0-SNAPSHOT-tests.jar \
-xmlpathinjar suites/suite2.xml
