Set Priority in Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am working with selenium webdriver. I have written 2 methods

1) addUserWithOutFirstName() 2) addUserWithOutGeneratingLicenceKey()

Initially the priority was set 0 for addUserWithOutFirstName() and 1 for addUserWithOutGeneratingLicenceKey(). Now i want to change the priority of addUserWithOutGeneratingLicenceKey() as 0 and addUserWithOutFirstName() as 1. I have changed the priorities. But still addUserWithOutFirstName() is getting executed first.

Don't know what is the problem. Can anybody help?

/* Add user without generating licence key */

@Test(priority=0)
public void addUserWithOutGeneratingLicenceKey() throws BiffException, IOException,InterruptedException {

Answer 1

If you are using Eclipse > goto Project > Clean > select your project.

Then select your testng.xml > run as TestNG Suite.

Answer 2

Instead of priority, you should try to use dependsOnMethods .

Following code will help you :

import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class DependencyAnnotation {

   @Test(dependsOnMethods = { "addUserWithOutFirstName" })
   public void addUserWithOutGeneratingLicenceKey() {
      System.out.println("Inside addUserWithOutGeneratingLicenceKey");
    }

   @Test
   public void addUserWithOutFirstName() {
      System.out.println("This is addUserWithOutFirstName");
   }
}

Then check for testng.xml file code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >

<suite name="Suite1">
   <test name="test1">
      <classes>
         <class name="DependencyAnnotation" />
      </classes>
   </test>
</suite>

Hope it will help you.

Answer 3

Don't use priority=0.

For me @Test(priority=1) and @Test(priority=2) work as intended.

Then if you want further control of your tests you can add the dependsOnMethods combined with the priority

@Test (priority=1)
public void method1(){
}

@Test (priority=2, dependsOnMethods="method1")
public void method2(){
}

@Test (priority=3, dependsOnMethods="method2")
public void method3(){
}

@Test (priority=4)
public void method4(){
}

In the example above all methods 1-4 will be executed sequentially. If for some reason methods 1 fails, then methods 2 will be skipped (as it depends on Method #1). Similarly method #3 will be skipped as well (as it depends on #2). Finally, in the event of #1 failing, the next method to be executed will be 4.

• 1-FAIL
• 2-SKIPPED
• 3-SKIPPED
• 4-RUN
