Significance of alwaysRun=true

[Anoop]

Can someone please explain what is the significance of marking a
@Before* and @After* method as alwaysRun=true?

Hi Anoop,

Here is the documentation:

For before methods (beforeSuite, beforeTest, beforeTestClass and beforeTestMethod, but not beforeGroups): If set to true, this configuration method will be run regardless of what groups it belongs to.
For after methods (afterSuite, afterClass, ...): If set to true, this configuration method will be run even if one or more methods invoked previously failed or was skipped.

Is this clear enough?

Thanks Cedric.

I had seen the documentation. But I guess I interpreted it wrong.

I have defined two groups - "A" and "B" within a test class and also a
@BeforeClass method that I had marked as alwaysRun=true. If I invoke
the test with a non-existent group name "XYZ" I see that the
@BeforeClass is not getting invoked. Is this the expected behavior?

Hey Anoop,

 

Since there are no test methods that match the group selection in the test class, it is completely ignored. I think it is the expected behavior.
