何时在testng中执行数据提供者注释

Question

I am running a Testng xml in selenium. It has

@BeforeSuite
@BeforeTest
@Dataprovider
@Test(2 methods)
@AfterTest
@AfterSuite

When will the data provider method will be executed, at which phase. Will it execute before BeforeSuite or BeforeTest ? will it be executed fully ?

Answer 1

You can call the @Dataprovider(name="testdata") from your @test annotation and not from other annotations like @beforesuite etc. You need to call the dataprovider from the @test annotation like @Test(dataProvider="testdata")

The @dataprovider will be executed whenever you call from your @test method
