One of the #Test code block doesn't execute - selenium-webdriver

Question

The TocheckApproval() code block doesnot get executed
Can someone please suggest why this is happening and what steps do i need to take to execute both the #Test blocks

Answer 1

I'm not sure whether method order is guaranteed by TestNG framework.
If you want the method order like run the test only after some tests ran (and marked as PASS), you can use dependsOnMethods or dependsOnGroups
Eg:
import org.junit.FixMethodOrder;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import org.testng.asserts.Assertion;
public class TestExample {
#BeforeTest
public void beforetest(){
System.out.println("before test ");
}
#Test
public void Tocheckapproval() {
System.out.println("in the method: Tocheckapproval");
}
#Test(dependsOnMethods = {"Tocheckapproval"})
public void TocheckRequestDecline() {
System.out.println("in the method: TocheckRequestDecline");
}
#AfterTest
public void aftertest() {
System.out.println("after test");
}
}
If you want to define the method order of your choice and the tests should not depend on other tests, then instead of dependecyOn* (methods, groups), you can use method Interceptors.
method Interceptors provides the list of test methods that are going to run as one of the argument, then you can re-arrange as per your needs.

Answer 2

You haven't set any test priorities, that's why!
This is very easy to do, just stick the priority next to your #Test tag.
#Test (priority=1)
public void ToTestApproval(){
//do some stuff
}
#Test (priority=2)
public void ToCheckRequestDecline(){
//do some more stuff
}
As Naveen, mentioned above you can further refine the desired behaviour by using dependsOnMethods and dependsOnGroups.
PS. If this does not work, then it could be down to the #Test tag itself. Please double check that you are using TestNG annotation instead of Junit!
Best of luck!
