Testng is skipping @Before annotation from junit

[appu sharma]

Hi,

I am trying to run run below code but testng is skipping @Before annotation, What is the reason behind it.

Here is the code.

package tests;

import org.junit.Before;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;


public class FooTest {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	private EditIssue editIssue;

	 
	  @Before
	  public void prepareComponents() {
		  System.out.println("in before");
	    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

	    Base project = new Base(driver, "selenium");
	    Child securedPage = new Child(driver, project, "userId", "passwd");
	    editIssue = new EditIssue(driver, securedPage);
	  }

	  @Test
	  public void demonstrateNestedLoadableComponents() {
		  System.out.println("in test method");
	    editIssue.get();

	  //  editIssue.setSummary("Summary");
	   // editIssue.enterDescription("This is an example");
	  }

}

Greetings Sharma ,

Testng uses the @BeforeMethod instead of the JUNIT @Before annotation.

Thanks for reply Asif,

I know @BeforeMethod and @BeforeClass is working fine but if why testNG skipped junit annotation?? any idea!!!

It is dependant on the framework which you invoke to run the test cases. If you run with JUNIT , then the JUNIT annotations will be read and the TestNG annotations will be skipped. Same scenario is with TestNG. The TestNG does not understand the JUNIT annotations.
