BUG: JBSEAM-2519

discussed in:previous forum entry

What do you think when this bug will be fixed? Dependent testing is very helpful.

Thanks

Please test in Seam trunk.

I'm working with JBoss Developer Studion and it doesn't accept Seam 2.1

What can I do to solve this?

Bug in JBDS. Create a Seam 2 project using Seam 2.0 and then replace the jars with the ones from Seam 2.1. Or use seam-gen.

it works, thanks

Great, I closed the issue.

Hi Pete

I came across on strange behaviour with derived classes and dependent testing. By the way, the snapshot I'm using is Build 77 from 2.1

public class SimpleTest extends SeamTest {
     
     @BeforeMethod
     public void beforeMethod() {
          assert true;
     }
     
     @BeforeMethod(dependsOnMethods={"beforeMethod"})
     public void postBeforeMethod() {
          assert true;
     }
     
     @Test
     public void testSimple() {
          assert true;
     }
}

public class SimpleTestDerived extends SimpleTest {
     
     @Override
     @BeforeMethod
     public void beforeMethod() {
          super.beforeMethod();
          assert true;
     }
     
     @Test
     public void testSimple2() {
          assert true;
     }
}

org.testng.TestNGException: 
ch.pomop.testframework.test.SimpleTest.postBeforeMethod() is depending on nonexistent method ch.pomop.testframework.test.SimpleTest.beforeMethod

As you can see the derived class overrides beforeMethod() from the subclass. Now on startup testing an exception occures: the method beforeMethod() on which postBeforeMethod() is depending on is missing. But in reality the method will be called in the subclass.

Is this wanted that you have to override all depending methods or is it just not implemented yet?

By the way - testing with 2.1 is much faster. Initialization time is little bit longer but the Test execution time is much shorter. I hope this is because of reengineering and not because of missing parts of the snapshot.

EDIT: As you can see the derived class overrides beforeMethod() from superclass.

I'm pretty sure this is a limitation in TestNG not Seam test right? So ask there ;-)

Yes, this was the intention of the refactor :-)
