Test attribute dependsOnMethods not honored when running tests individually

[lsprague3]

In eclipse, when you run a test individually and it depends on another test, it runs that other test first and then runs the test that has the dependency.
With the VSCode plugin, it does not appear to do this successfully. Instead it fails to find the dependency method:

• It would be nice to just be able to click and run single methods that have dependencies instead of having to run the whole test class.

Hi Team,

I have a Maven multi-module Java project with several tests in my class. When I run tests at the class level, they work fine. However, when I run individual tests that use dependsOnMethods, I encounter the following error:

{"name":"error","attributes":{"message":"Exception occured while running tests.","trace":"org.testng.TestNGException: 
deleteApp() is depending on method public void getApps(), which is not annotated with @Test or not included.
