Run test factories after @BeforeTest callback

[Wujek Srujek]

Hi Cedric,

I have a class that has a @BeforeTest and it initializes some stuff for all tests in the test set. Then, I have another class that contains the @Factory annotation. What I noticed is that the factory method is invoked before the @BeforeTest method, and even though it supports injecting ITestContext, the context is not initialized, as the initialization method is invoked later. Is there a way to make sure that the @BeforeTest method is called before all factory methods?

Regards,
Wujek

No:  TestNG needs to run all the factories first in order to get the complete list of the test methods to run.  And then it runs these test methods.

Hi Cedric,

thanks.
That's fine, I found another way of doing what I need to do. Actually, I am creating the class that has the @BeforeTest callback in a factory, and the test themselves are plain TestNG created tests. This is possible as the custom stuff that I need injected (via CDI with Weld SE) will be shared by all tests, so I can initialize it in @BeforeTest, set as parameter and look up in the tests.
Thanks for your answers.

Wujek

Wujek,

That's good to hear, although not surprising :-)

You had a catch-22 problem here:  you want to run tests but in order for these tests to be initialized, you need to... run tests.

There had to be a solution out of this, glad you found it.
