Hi Cedric,

I don't have a problem with the ordering :) I have a problem with method2
being called.
I might not have the same understanding of the dependency. For me, method2
depends on method1 means run 2 only if 1 is a success.

In this scenario, method1 is 50% passed, with successrate not specified, so

Hi Francois,

I can't reproduce the problem. I tried both sequential (parallel="false")
and parallel (parallel="true") and I also tried with and without the
exception, but in all cases, method1() is always invoked with all its
dataprovider parameters before method2() gets invoked:

method1:ok

Good to hear!

That's really odd, I can't think of any reason why my recent additions would
cause that. Can you double check that you are using the correct
compatibility mode (i.e. if you're using JDK5 style annotations, that the
plug-in is not trying to find JavaDoc annotations?).

And yes, I will try to update the plug-in to 5.11.

Hi Cedric,

In fact, it turns out that it was because I was trying to run the test
with the Eclipse plugin which used it's own version of the library.
Running from the command line it behaves exactly as expected! :)

It looks like the new library is not compatible with the current
version of the Eclipse plugin. I've tried to replace the plugin's jars

Hi Francois,

It's quite possible that I didn't think of supporting this particular
scenario. I'll investigate and I'll get back to you...

dependency on a dataprovider

francois.reyn...@gmail.com (François Reynaud) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:11:07 UT

Hi Cedric,

I have some issues with dependencies + dataproviders. Please let me know if
I'm using testng properly.

@DataProvider(name = "data")
public Object[][] dp() {
return new Object[][] { { "ok" }, { "not ok" }, };
}

@Test(groups = { "a" }, dataProvider = "data")

Hi Cedric,

really cool feature. that's exactly the one I needed for my slow tests. It
works perfectly for me.

thanks

Hi Alex,

It seems to be working for me:

a2 thread:9
a1 thread:8
c1 thread:10
b1 thread:8
b2 thread:10
c2 thread:9

a1 and a2 get run first, and when they are done, either of b1, b2, c1, c2
can be run. As you can see from this run, B and C are indeed run in
parallel (c1 in thread 10, b1 in thread 8, then b2 in thread 10 and c2 in

As a part of our test framework we have multiple test files and some
of the workflows demand to include the tests of a particular suite
into another one and also ensure that the tests of the included suite
files are run in the sequence of inclusion.

On looking up what i see is that the suite-files tag can have multiple

Hi Cedric,

This is really great, this would really be very useful for us and I
look forward to using the feature on our test suite.

However, after downloading the latest beta I cannot seem to get the
feature to work. I've created 3 different tests in their own
individual classes and groups:

Technically the order of tests in testng.xml can change. But for now in a
sequential flow this works . So you can write your testng.xml as

and you can pass the appropriate testng.xml to your TestNG ant task

svwaingan...@gmail.com (Shantaram) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:04:29 UT

Please suggest how i can implement the following requirement.
I have 3 @test methods A,B and C testing three tasks.

I want to test multiple test flows
eg
test 1 - run A -> run B -> run C
test 2 - run A -> run C -> run B
test 3 - run B -> run C -> run A

I want to write many such flows
I dont mind writing an xml for each flow but i should be able to do it

New feature: multithreaded dependent methods

cbe...@google.com (Cédric Beust ♔) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:45:21 UT

Hi everyone,

I just finished implementing a feature that's been on my mind for a while:
allowing dependent methods to be run in separate threads.

Currently, all the dependent methods (a method that depends on another one
or a method that's depended upon) are always run in the same thread in order

Feature suggestion: Configuring the default value of the ignoreMissingDependencies parameter

alexspurl...@gmail.com (Alex) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:13:46 UT

Hello all,

I've raised a ticket for a potential new TestNG feature:

In summary: The ignoreMissingDependencies parameter is very useful
when you want to run tests standalone and ignore their dependencies
for that run. However, it is more a parameter of that individual test
