Test attribute dependsOnMethods not honored when running tests individually

Start by reproducing an individually run TestNG method with a dependsOnMethods relationship in the VS Code Java Test extension, then trace the selection through TestNGRunner and TestNGLauncher to the MethodHelper failure. Done means the selected method runs its dependency first instead of reporting that the dependency is not included.

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.
