Failure in @AfterClass causes rest of tests to skip, TestNG

I have an xml file with test classes.This is my testng suite xml. Each test class, has the following structure:

@BeforeClass
public void beforeClass(){
}

@Test(dataProvider="Mail Information")
public void mailSend(String to,String subject,String body) throws Exception{
}

@AfterClass{
}

When I mistakenly put a null object in AfterClass, the test correctly failed, with java.lang.NullPointerException, but instead of continuing to the other tests of the suite, all the other tests became Skipped.

I assume that they become skipped, because their @beforeClass became skipped. So I think that the real problem is that a failure in AfterClass, somehow affected the BeforeClasses of the following tests in suite.

How can we handle such problem?

I try this way "alwaysRun = true" to always run the function on @AfterClass annotation. Although any @Test has NullPointerException

@AfterClass(groups = { "smoke" }, alwaysRun = true)
private void stoptream() {
        Stream.tryForceStop3times(id, data);
}

After a long long time, I found the solution to my problem.. It all goes away, by adding in the suite tag, the entryconfigfailurepolicy, and set it to continue, in your suite xml files like this:

    <suite name="Test-Suite" configfailurepolicy="continue">

By default the value of the parameter was skip, which was causing tests to skip, if a failed configuration occured.

I haven't tried this but as per TestNG documentation it should solve your issue. Set the alwaysRun attribute to true for each of the test method.
