Executing Tests in sequencial in testng

Question

I am executing a testng testsuite. I have one test in the testsuite. That test has a dataprovider which returns 2 records. so the same test has to run twice. I want these tests to run sequentially but what i see is it run parallely. I tried giving singleThread = true to the data provider but didnt work. I see following output

• BeforeMethod-1
• BeforeMothod-2
• Test-1
• Test-2
• AfterMethod-1
• AfterMethod-2

But what I want is

• BeforeMethod-1
• Test-1
• AfterMethod-1
• BeforeMothod-2
• Test-2
• AfterMethod-2

Answer 1

Remove parallel = true from DataProvider method (getData) If specified.

@DataProvider()

Or

Make it false.

@DataProvider(parallel = false)

I tried the following example with TestNG 6.8.5 with default settings from Eclipse:

import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import org.testng.asserts.Assertion;


public class TestExample {

    @BeforeMethod
    public void beforeMethod(){
        System.out.println("before method ");
    }

    @Test(dataProvider="getData")
    public void test1(String username, String password) {
        System.out.println("test");
        System.out.println("you have provided username as::"+username);
        System.out.println("you have provided password as::"+password);
    }


    @AfterMethod
    public void afterMethod() {
        System.out.println("after method");

    }

    @DataProvider
    public Object[][] getData()
    {
    //Rows - Number of times your test has to be repeated.
    //Columns - Number of parameters in test data.
    Object[][] data = new Object[2][2];

    // 1st row
    data[0][0] ="sampleuser1";
    data[0][1] = "abcdef";

    // 2nd row
    data[1][0] ="testuser2";
    data[1][1] = "zxcvb";

    return data;
    }

}

which gives me following output:

before method 
test
you have provided username as::sampleuser1
you have provided password as::abcdef
after method
before method 
test
you have provided username as::testuser2
you have provided password as::zxcvb
after method
PASSED: test1("sampleuser1", "abcdef")
PASSED: test1("testuser2", "zxcvb")
