Help me understanding "skips" while running test methods

[Jerald paul]

Hi,

I ran the following simple test class(Which has only 2 test methods) and found that 0 passed and 1 failed and 5 skipped.  I really don't know what is happening. Some one please help.


package test;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;


public class TestNgTest
{
    @BeforeMethod
    public void setUp() throws Exception
    {
                if(true)
                {
                    throw new Exception("setup method");
                }
    }
   
    @AfterMethod
    public void tearDown() throws Exception
    {
            if(true)
            {
                throw new Exception("teardown method");
            }
    }

    @Test(description = "Test1")
    public void Test1() throws Exception
    {
            if(true)
            {
                throw new Exception("test1 method");
            }
    }

    @Test(description = "Test2")
    public void Test2() throws Exception
    {
            if(false)
            {
                throw new Exception("test2 method");
            }
    }
}

Regards

This is what I see :

SKIPPED CONFIGURATION: @AfterMethod tearDown

SKIPPED CONFIGURATION: @BeforeMethod setUp

SKIPPED CONFIGURATION: @AfterMethod tearDown

SKIPPED: Test1

         Test1

SKIPPED: Test2

         Test2

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

    Default test

    Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Skips: 2

    Configuration Failures: 1, Skips: 3

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

Explanation :

You have 2 test methods, which explains the skips

There were 3 skips in the configuration section, because @BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod gets called for every @Test Method

Because 1 configuration method failed, the rest of them were skipped.

I feel stupid and dumb as i cant understand what is going on here.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

I expect @BeforeMethod is called before @Test method and then followed by @AfterMethod .

So if an exception occurred in a @BeforeMethod then both the @Test method and @AfterMethod will be added in skipped tests list and @BeforeMethod will be added in failed configs right?

Thanks and Regards

Yes, your understanding is correct.

@BeforeSuite/@AfterSuite - Executed once per suite

@BeforeClass/@AfterClass - Executed once per instance of class

@BeforeTest/@AfterTest - Executed once per test (for every occurance of <test> tag in the template file)

@BeforeMethod/@AfterMethod = Executed once per every test method (methods annotated with @Test) [ Not sure if this would get called when executing the other configuration methods as well.. never tried it.. you could try and confirm if that is the case)

Because your @BeforeMethod is failing, it causes all your @Test methods to be skipped.
