I'm using Java 8, testng, maven and selenium for UI automation frame work and trying to use aspectj to execute aspects before and after for switching iframes(entry and exit) when any method in an object is called. Aspect never gets called when i run any induvidual test class. Here is my package structure. I tried using both compile time and load time weaving but nothing help.
Project A is the parent The module Project B is inside Project A

Packaging Structure for Project B.
all the code is in Project B
src/main/java(Holds all the page object classes, interface, aspects and custom annotation classes)
src/test/java(Holds only test classes and has META-INF folder that holds aop.xml)
Interface in src/main/java
public interface NavBarInterface{
public void navigateToHelp();
public void navigateToMenu();
}
PageObject Class in src/main/java NavigationBar.java
import com.stackoverflow.shop
Class NavigationBar{
NavigationBar(){}
@Override
@HandleFrame
public void navigateToHelp() {
// Navigates to Help section
}
@Override
@HandleFrame
public void navigateToMenu() {
// Navigates to Help Menu section
}
}
Custom Annotation class in src/main/java
import com.stackoverflow.shop
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface HandleFrame {
}
Aspect Class in src/main/java
import com.stackoverflow.shop
@Aspect
Class FrameHandlingAspect{
@Before("@annotation(com.stackoverflow.shop.NavigationBar)")
public void enterFrame() {
logger.info("Switched to IFrame");
// switches to iframe
}
@After("@annotation(com.stackoverflow.shop.NavigationBar)")
public void enterFrame() {
logger.info("exited from IFrame");
// exit from iframe
}
}

TestClass in src/test/java
Class NavigationTests {
@BeforeMethod(alwaysRun = true)
public void refreshAndSwitchTab(){
// performs refresh page action and opens a new tab
}
@AfterMethod(alwaysRun = true)
public void closeTab(){
// closes secondary tab
}
@Test(enabled=true)
public void testNavigation() {
NavBarInterface nbar = new NavigationBar();
nbar.navigateToHelp(); //Aspects are not called before and after
nbar.navigateToMenu();
}
}
I'm running the NavigationTests class on Eclipse using Run Configuration/Run as testng test.I also tried running the test as providing vm argument -Dtest=NavigationTests
The tests are running fine but the aspects are never called. Not sure what mistake i'm doing here or does aspect doesn't run when we run a single test class. Any help is much appreciated.
