testNG-6.4 parallel="classes"

[Jarrad Goodwin]

Hi

I am having troubles where by classses are not been run in parallel.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
<suite name="Selenium Grid Java Sample Test Suite" parallel="classes"
thread-count="7" verbose="3">
<parameter name="seleniumHost" value="xxxxxxxx" />
<parameter name="seleniumPort" value="4444" />
<parameter name="webSite" value="http://images.google.com/" />

<test name="Selenium Grid Java Sample Tests" parallel="classes">
<parameter name="browser" value="*firefox" />
<classes>
<class
name="com.thoughtworks.selenium.grid.examples.java.ParisTest" />
<class
name="com.thoughtworks.selenium.grid.examples.java.PerigordTest" />
</classes>
</test>
</siute>

__________________________________________________________________________________________
package com.thoughtworks.selenium.grid.examples.java;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;


/**
*/
public class ParisTest extends GoogleImageTestBase {

@Test(groups = {"example", "firefox", "default"}, description =
"Louvre")
public void louvre() throws Throwable {
runFlickrScenario("Louvre");
}
}

______________________________________________________________________________________
package com.thoughtworks.selenium.grid.examples.java;

import org.testng.annotations.Configuration;
import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;


/**
*/
public class PerigordTest extends GoogleImageTestBase {


@Test(groups = {"example", "firefox", "default"}, description =
"Lascaux Hall of the Bull")
public void rubinius() throws Throwable {
runFlickrScenario("Lascaux Hall of the Bull");
}
}

When having mutiple RC's for *firefox, it will still only run one
class at a time.....


Is there something that I am missing?

Try using version 6.2.1 instead and see if you get a different result. I have found that 6.4 seems to erroneously determine that your classes/methods have dependencies on each other even when they don't (at least from what I've gathered from debugging so far).

Thanks for the response!

Alas, with 6.2.1 I still have the same issue.

Have also tried earlier versions with still the same result :(

Has anyone managed a work arround for this?

I have had success!! :)

And the fix is short, sweet and simple.

By adding (preserve-order="false") to the test field it will now run
classes in parallel.

I have tested with versions 6.2.1 and 6.4 and both work fine.


eg. my testng.xml now looks like this:

<suite name="Selenium Grid Java Sample Test Suite" parallel="classes"
thread-count="7" verbose="3">
<parameter name="seleniumHost" value="xxxxxxxx" />
<parameter name="seleniumPort" value="4444" />
<parameter name="webSite" value="http://images.google.com/" /
>


<test name="Selenium Grid Java Sample Tests"

parallel="classes" preserve-order="false">

<parameter name="browser" value="*firefox" />
<classes>
<class
name="com.thoughtworks.selenium.grid.examples.java.ParisTest" />
<class
name="com.thoughtworks.selenium.grid.examples.java.PerigordTest" />
</classes>
</test>
</siute>

Having preserve-order not defined, or set to true will result in
parallel classes not working.

Hope this helps others out there :D

I'll have to try the preserve-order trick, maybe that will help with my issue. Thanks for the update!

Oh thank you.  This one had me scratching my head for a few hours.   preserve-order="false" fixed this for me, and was fairly confusing since parallel worked for tests, but not for methods or classes otherwise.
