TestNG test cases being skipped

Description: 

TestNG provides several ways to specify the execution order of test methods, including the use of dependencies. If one of the test methods on which another test method is dependent fails, the dependent test method will be skipped. This is to ensure that the test environment is in the expected state before executing dependent test methods. In addition, TestNG allows the configuration of group dependencies, which can also cause test methods to be skipped if the group dependency is not satisfied.

Causes: 

1. If one of the test methods on which another test method is dependent fails, the dependent test method will be skipped. 

2. If there is any issue with the configuration, such as a missing configuration file or incorrect configuration values, the test cases may be skipped. 

3. time-out issues can also cause TestNG test cases to be skipped. If a test method takes longer than the specified timeout period to execute, TestNG may skip it. To avoid this, it's important to set an appropriate timeout period for each test method.

Debugs:

Debug-1: 

Check the testng.xml file for any dependencies or group dependencies that may be causing the test methods to be skipped.

Debug-2:

Review the TestNG configuration file and ensure that all required configuration files are present and that the configuration values are correct.

Debug-3:

Check the timeout period specified for each test method and adjust it as necessary.

Debug-4:

Verify that the test methods are correctly marked with the @Test annotation and that they are included in the testng.xml file.

Example code:

Here is an example of how to specify dependencies between test methods in TestNG:

@Test(dependsOnMethods={"testMethod1"}) public void testMethod2() { // Code to execute test method 2 }

In this example, testMethod2 is dependent on testMethod1. If testMethod1 fails, testMethod2 will be skipped.
