TestNG interdependent tests across many files

Dear all,

I have a big software project which I build with maven, and the
surefire plugins runs all the test. However some tests dependend on
others, and I would like to make this clear using the dependsOnGroup.

My questions is the following:

- If I make a test method depends on a group which is defined inside
another file, will I be able to run the test method in isolation
inside my IDE, for example? Or will I need to run it always inside a
suite containing the group I am depending on?

Best
Edmondo

TestNG and Eclipse should automatically run the methods you depend on first. Try it and let me know if you're seeing something different.

When running inside Idea this is what I get:

Yes, notice I said "TestNG and Eclipse". Implicitly running dependencies requires specific support and I don't believe IDEA has it.
