Wrongly skipped dependent test methods when using a @Factory constructor with dataProvider about testng

[vadipp]

This is probably related to issue 71, but I decided to file a new issue.

I'm aware of this limitation, this is how TestNG is implemented, right now: dependencies work on the class level, not on the instance level. When you depend on a method, you really depend on this method, not on "this method on instance xxx". TestNG currently doesn't make this distinction, hence the result you're seeing.

The only workaround right now is to call your methods together instead of using dependencies.

I'm considering ways to change this behavior but it's not trivial.

This should be fixed in the beta, can you try it and report back? http://testng.org/beta

I've just checked and it seems to work in the 6.1.2 beta. Thanks, Cedric!

I'm still concerned about the test method order, I'll report a separate bug.

This one is closed.
