@test methods are executed in alphabetical order inside groups tag

Hi,

I am new to TESTNG and started using it recently, and while working with @groups tag I have noticed that, the methods inside the groups are executed in alphabetical order.But normal @TEST methods are not bound to this restriction.Due to this my test suite started failing as please see the details of my code and xml below

/**

* @throws Exception

* this method will set the execution environment(the application type i.e.web application or mobile application or

* client application or API testing)

* if web application is to be automated then pass the required browser else pass null in browser

@BeforeGroups (groups = {"login"} )

public void setApplicationEnvironment()throws Exception {

//set the test execution environment

tc1.setApplicationEnvironment(AndroidApplication);

}

@Test (groups = {"login"} )

public void openApp() throws Exception{

tc1.userWait(4);

tc1.clickElement(ImageFilePath+"snapsecurehtc.png");

tc1.userWait(15);

//tc1.isElementPresent(ImageFilePath+"validateopenapp.png");

//tc1.userWait(2);

}

@Test (groups = {"login"} )

public void inValidLogin() throws Exception{

tc1.clickElement(ImageFilePath+"signininbutton.png");

tc1.userWait(4);

tc1.clickElement(ImageFilePath+"click@.png");

tc1.userWait(2);

tc1.SendKey(UserKey.DOWN);

tc1.SendKey(UserKey.UP);

tc1.clearContent("[hidden email]", ImageFilePath+"backspacehtc.png");

tc1.userWait(4);

tc1.sendText("[hidden email]");

tc1.SendKey(UserKey.DOWN);

tc1.sendText("dsfsdft");

tc1.SendKey(UserKey.DOWN);

tc1.SendKey(UserKey.ENTER);

tc1.userWait(5);

tc1.clickElement(ImageFilePath+"okbutton.png");

tc1.userWait(2);

tc1.isElementPresent(ImageFilePath+"validateopenapp.png");

tc1.userWait(2);

}

[6:56:07 PM] pooja verma: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

<run>

</include>

</run>

</groups>

</classes>

</test>

</suite>

All the time in the group the execution starts from inValidLogin, but I want the test to be executed as defined in the order like setApplicationEnvironment, OpenApp, and inValidLogin and so on

Please let me know what I Am missing here?Is the desired behaviour for @groups annotation?How I can make this to work in the expected order?

I have tried use preserving-order, but it didn't work, please give some solution for the same

Regards,

Kiran

Re: @test methods are executed in alphabetical order inside groups tag

http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#dependent-methods

TestNG does not explicitly garauntee the runtime order unless you specify it. When dealing with methods that need to be executed in a specific order you need to specify their order. There are a couple of ways to do this, but the most reliable would be to use dependent-methods.

In your case:

@Test (groups = {"login"})
public void openApp() throws Exception {...}

@Test (groups = {"login"} , dependsOnMethods={"openApp"} )

public void inValidLogin() throws Exception {...}
