What am I missing? I expect the optional value without quotes just like myBrowser variable.

Answer 1

This is correct way to use @optional annotation.

I hope you know it that we can pass values from Testng.xml to @Test. If we are not passing any value from xml to test case then @Optional comes in picture. Whatever value we will pass in @Optional it will be default value. So that we need to pass this value in double quotes as it is not a function arguement.
