Seam Integration Testing with TestNG Groups

[dhinojosa]

What is the status on using our own TestNG groups with SeamTest testing? 

Jira Ticket 1371 refers to this issue and it is closed but I really need to know the correct way to set it up.

On the ticket, Pete Muir said

User reports this works with new test structure.

I don't particularly know what that means.  Was the following code the correct way to set it up?

@Test(groups="base")
public class SomeBaseTest
extends SeamTest
{
    @BeforeTest
    public void begin() {
      super.begin();
    }

    @AfterTest
    public void end() {
      super.end();
    }

    @BeforeClass
    public void init() throws Exception {
       super.init();
    }

    @AfterClass
    public void cleanup() throws Exception
    {
      super.cleanup();
    }
}

You need to use the test structure from 2.1 series (that isn't it).

User (me) now reports that to use TestNG groups in Seam 2.1 you need to override SeamTest with:

public class SomeBaseTest extends SeamTest
{
    @Override
    @BeforeClass(alwaysRun=true)
    public void setupClass() throws Exception
    {
       super.setupClass();
    }
    
    @Override
    @AfterClass(alwaysRun=true)
    public void cleanupClass() throws Exception
    {
       super.cleanupClass();
    }
    
    @Override
    @BeforeSuite(alwaysRun=true) 
    @BeforeGroups
    public void startSeam() throws Exception
    {
       super.startSeam();
    }
    
    @Override
    @AfterSuite(alwaysRun=true) 
    @AfterGroups(alwaysRun=true) 
    protected void stopSeam() throws Exception
    {
       super.stopSeam();
    }
    
    @BeforeMethod(alwaysRun=true)
    @Override
    public void begin()
    {
       super.begin();
    }

    @AfterMethod(alwaysRun=true)
    @Override
    public void end()
    {
       super.end();
    }

Woops, there's something lost above.  The startSeam @Override should be:

    @BeforeSuite(alwaysRun=true) 
    @BeforeGroups(alwaysRun=true) 
    public void startSeam() throws Exception
    {
       super.startSeam();
    }
