alwaysRun annotation

@Test Annotation: alwaysRun

1.       alwaysRun annotation : Lets explain alwaysRun with an example

import org.testng.annotations.*;
/**
 * TestNG always run
 * @author himanshu bisht
 *
 */
public class ExampleTestNGT {
        @Test
        public void methodfail() { 
          System.out.println("Fail Method");
        }
       
        @Test(dependsOnMethods={"methodfail"}, alwaysRun=true) 
        public void alwaysruntrue() { 
          System.out.println("Always run is true");
        }
}

In this case alwaysRuntrue method will always run even if methodfail is pass or fail

  1. Instead of using alwaysRun why can't we delete dependsOnMethods. Both will have the same result

  2. Ritesh gupta - lets assume a scenario where method B dependsOn method A. For e.g. A calculates how much loan will be approved for an individual based on various inputs like salary, saveings, Debt etc. So B has to depend on A. we cannot omit this. But there can be a situation that A failed for some reason and hence no value can be passed to B for the approved loan amount. Now we would not want the B never runs too. In B i could have a logic that if we didnt get value from A, then do something else - may be trigger an email to the case handler, or take the loan application to a specific queue etc. So in the above scenario I will need both dependsOn as well as alwaysRun. I hop that helpss
