Background: I have an automation framework setup for Windows Applications using WinAppDriver, TestNG and POM. As we know, for WinAppDriver we need to run the server manually before running the tests on- http://127.0.0.1:4723/.
I am trying to run and close the WinAppDriver using the @BeforeSuite and @AfterSuite annotation. The code is code:
String wadServerPath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Application Driver\\WinAppDriver.exe";
ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder(wadServerPath).inheritIO();
Process process = builder.start();
.
.
.
.
process.destroy();
I have placed my @BeforeSuite and @AfterSuite code in BaseClass.java which does all the setUp and tearDown of the driver for me.
Problem: The problem I am facing is that, this @BeforeSuite and @AfterSuite code is not being called when I run my program from the .xml file and I get the following error:
[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 7.0.1
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Connection refused: connect
Build info: version: '3.141.59', revision: 'e82be7d358', time: '2018-11-14T08:17:03'

Driver info: driver.version: WindowsDriver
I do not wish to place the before and after suite annotations in my test classes as I want to keep them separate. Any suggestions?
