Fwd: TestNG query - BeforeClass not running

[Prasad KTM]

Hi,

I'm Prasad, & this is my 1st email to the group.

I'm in the process of learning automation using Selenium & TestNG.

I'm here to seek your expertise in solving an issue.

I have written a small program (as seen below)

I'm unable to execute the method which is annotated with @BeforeClass

Not sure what I'm missing here.

Program:

package com.abc.neuro.common;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;

import org.testng.xml.XmlTest;

public class LaunchUi {

@BeforeSuite

public void beforeSuite(XmlTest Config) throws Exception {

System.out.println("Inside @BeforeSuite");

}

@BeforeTest

public void launchNeuro(XmlTest Config) throws Exception {

System.out.println("Inside @BeforeTest");

}

@BeforeClass

public void beforeClass(XmlTest Config) throws Exception {

System.out.println("Inside @BeforeClass");

}

}

Output:

[TestNG] Running:

  C:\p4\Neuro\Neuro\Neuro\TestNG.xml

Inside @BeforeSuite

Inside @BeforeTest

===============================================

Neuro

Total tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Skips: 0

Krishnan already answered on the selenium users group :

"

The answer to your question : Your Class doesn't have any @Test annotated test methods. So there is no reason for the @BeforeClass to be executed.

Please add atleast one @Test annotated test method to your test class and try again.
"

Thanks Shawn & Krishnan.

I'm able to run my Tests now, including BeforeClass.

But is there an easy way to debug the issues related to TestNg.

Until there is any exception, TestNg does not seem to throw any error.

[Shawn McCarthy]

When would you like to debug your test? I don't think I understand your question.

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

In this case, TestNG doesn't treat this as a problem but only an incorrect way of it being used. That is why it doesn't warn/throw an error at you.

Debugging is going to be the same concept, be it you use TestNG or any other library for that matter. All you would need to do is setup breakpoints at the place wherein execution begins [ In the case of TestNG you should start looking at the TestNG.run() method ] and then step through the execution to figure out what went wrong where !

Thanks & Regards
