• Type: Bug

Description

1. In Intellij right-click run-test executes the test method immediately after the setup method (marked @BeforeMethod).

2. Running on the command line (mvn) the same two methods are executed.

3. After making a group, and putting the group in a profile (as per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7150302/excluding-testng-groups-from-maven) the test method is invoked, but the @BeforeMethod method was not invoked before it.

I was going to debug it, so that I could tell you root cause defect, but IDEA conspires to now show me all the breakpoints of the plugin before the actual test invocation.
