Query regarding dependsOnGroups

[Anupam Lalit]

HI All

My source code structure  is like below . I have 2 classes ClassA and ClassB with 1 method each.

public class ClassA {
    @Test(groups = "ClassA")
    public void methodA(){
        System.out.println("in method A");

    }
}

public class ClassB {

    @Test(dependsOnGroups = "ClassA")
    public void methodB() {
        System.out.println("in method B");

    }
}

Query :  with TestNGversionA.xml desired results are not coming but TestNGversionB.xml desired results are coming..Details below

with below xml(TestNGversionA.xml) , on methodA is getting executed and  methodB is getting skipped.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="Test_Suite" verbose="2" parallel="tests" thread-count="1" time-out="120000">


    <test name="Test ClassA" group-by-instances="true" parallel="none" thread-count="1">

        <classes>
            <class name="com.mycompany.app.inBuiltObserverPattern.ClassA"/>

            <!--<class name="com.mycompany.app.inBuiltObserverPattern.ClassB"/>-->
        </classes>

    </test>


    <test name="Test ClassB" group-by-instances="true" parallel="none" thread-count="1">

        <classes>
            <class name="com.mycompany.app.inBuiltObserverPattern.ClassB"/>
        </classes>
    </test>


</suite>

However , with below xml (TestNGversionB.xml)both methods are getting execueted in desired order i.e first methodA and then methodB

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="Test_Suite" verbose="2" parallel="tests" thread-count="1" time-out="120000">


    <test name="Test ClassA" group-by-instances="true" parallel="none" thread-count="1">

        <classes>
            <class name="com.mycompany.app.inBuiltObserverPattern.ClassA"/>

            <class name="com.mycompany.app.inBuiltObserverPattern.ClassB"/>
        </classes>

    </test>


</suite>

The method in ClassB is dependent on another method that is part of ClassA.

As long as both these classes are part of the same test [ which is what your TestNGversionB.xml  contains] it would work.

But your first xml  (TestNGversionA.xml) doesn't adhere to this, which is why the second class is getting skipped.

Thanks & Regards
