@BeforeAll in superclass is not executed

In superclass, the method annotated with @BeforeClass seems not to be executed 

    @TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
open class TestBase {

    var status: Boolean = false

    @BeforeAll
    open fun setStatus() {
        status = true
    }
}

class MyAppTest : TestBase() {

    @Test
    fun testStatus() {
        assertTrue(status) //fails
    }

}

Is this the desirable behaviour or am I doing something wrong?

The documentation explicitly states:

@BeforeAll methods are inherited from superclasses as long as they are not hidden or overridden. Furthermore, @BeforeAll methods from superclasses will be executed before @BeforeAll methods in subclasses.

So this would not be the desired behavior. But since setStatus() is open, you have to be careful not to override it.
