[testng-users] use of @dataProvider method under @Factory method of testNG at @BeforeClass level .

[Sachin]

I am using the @Factory annotation of TestNG with @dataProvider method in @BeforeClass level . 

And expecting First iteration of  @beforeclass method is executed then  both the @Test method should executed for same iteration and so on ....  

But observed that after @BeforeClass method execution , 1st @Test method is executed and once these execution is completed, 2nd @Test method is executed 

Not sure what is the issue ? 

public class TestPrackties {

   String userMode;

   @Factory(dataProvider = "userModeProvider")

   public TestPrackties(String userMode) {

       this.userMode = userMode;

   }

   @BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true)

   public void init() throws Exception {

       System.out.println("Before Running the class userMode is " + userMode);

   }

   @Test(groups = "testFactory", description = "test method1")

   public void testMethod1() throws Exception {

       System.out.println("Inside method 1 " + userMode );

   }

   @Test(groups = "testFactory", description = "test method2")

   public void testMethod2() throws Exception {

       System.out.println("Inside method 2 " + userMode);

   }

   

   @DataProvider

   private static String [][] userModeProvider() {

       return new String [][]{

               new String []{"Admin"},

               new String []{"Tenant"},

               new String []{"AdminUser"},

               new String []{"TenantUser"},

       };

   }

}

----------------------------------------------

Actual OutPut :- 

Before Running the class userMode is Tenant

Inside method 1 Tenant

Before Running the class userMode is TenantUser

Inside method 1 TenantUser

Before Running the class userMode is AdminUser

Inside method 1 AdminUser

Before Running the class userMode is Admin

Inside method 1 Admin

Inside method 2 Tenant

Inside method 2 TenantUser

Inside method 2 AdminUser

Inside method 2 Admin

--------------------------------------------------------

Expected Output :-

Before Running the class userMode is Tenant

Inside method 1 Tenant

Inside method 2 Tenant

Before Running the class userMode is TenantUser

Inside method 1 TenantUser

Inside method 2 TenantUser

Before Running the class userMode is AdminUser

Inside method 1 AdminUser

Inside method 2 AdminUser

Before Running the class userMode is Admin

Inside method 1 Admin

Inside method 2 Admin

Please try adding group-by-instances=true to your suite xml file and see if that helps.

Hey,

AFAIK the @Before* and @After* methods are guaranteed to run after or before the corresponding suites, tests, classes or methods. However, the order of independent units is not specified. This also applies to explicit dependencies between methods, i.e. having methods test1, test2 and test3 where test3 depends on test2, TestNG could potentially put test1 right between the other two order-wise.
