[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQGRA-382) Make @InitialPage work for Field

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQGRA-382?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Vsevolod Golovanov edited comment on ARQGRA-382 at 8/4/17 8:40 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------------- bq. However, all other fields in tests preserve the state among tests, so Before would be an exception. That seems worrisome, does this imply that the page instances behind \@Page fields survive between test methods? JUnit creates a new test class instance for each of the \@Test methods - each of those runs is supposed to be a self-contained independent execution unaffected by other runs. One method execution seems to be a proper natural scope for \@InitialPage too. It also mirrors the default Drone instance scope (but I don't think these scopes should always be equated, though class scoped InitialPage certainly makes no sense with a method scoped Drone). Maybe {{\@InitialPage static_field}} = BeforeClass, {{\@InitialPage instance_field}} = Before? Gotta not break parallel execution though... was (Author: vsevolodgolovanov): bq.
