Running a Single Test with @BeforeTest annotated method in a separate class being run before the Test through testng Eclipse plugin

[Samit Sawant]

Hi,

I have the following testng.xml

<suite name="TestAll">

 

<test name="test1">

<classes>

<class name="com.samit.Config" />

<class name="com.samit.TestA" />

                        <class name="com.samit.TestB" />

</classes>

</test>

 

<test name="test2">  

<classes>

<class name="com.samit.Config" />

<class name="com.samit.TestC" />

</classes>

</test>

 

</suite>

I have a maven project in eclipse and using the failsafe plugin I can run all these tests using maven install/verify command. The @BeforeTest/@AfterTest methods are part of the Config class and they correctly run before and after all the tests within the <test> tag

@BeforeTest Method

TestA

TestB

@AfterTest Method

@BeforeTest Method

TestC

@AfterTest Method

I can also run these by creating a TestNG Run configuration using testng eclipse plugin and  choosing the suite.xml option to point to the testng.xml file

My Question now is 

Using the testngplugin how can I run a single test with the @BeforeTest and @AftrerTest Config methods being run.

I can choose the "class" option in the run configuration but it only executes the @Test method from the class chosen without running @BeforeTest method from the Config class

The Config class just has @BeforeTest and @AfterTest methods.

Thanks,

Samit

One possible workaround is to give groups to givent tests and than run it by setting up a group which have to be run.
Second (just tip) is to set always run to true (@BeforeTest(alwaysRun = true)) and try it that way. But I think, it will not work. I use always run when I have hierarchy of test classes and I want to run super.beforeMethod method always, despite that children class does not have an annotation on its method (because it is not overriding it).
