Overriding annotations

[edwolb]

I looked around and couldn't find anything describing this, other than perhaps the AnnotationTransformer, but it looks to only modify the value of an annotation, not the actual annotation.

I have a base class which has a bunch of @BeforeClass setup methods:

class TestTemplate {

  

  public WebDriver driver;

  @BeforeClass

  public void setupDriver() {

    driver = new ChromeDriver();

  }

}

I now have a test class which extends it, however for this particular class I want to run its method in parallel.  This involves making sure drivers are setup before the method, not before the class:

class Test extends TestTemplate {

  

  // Can I tell setupDriver() to run beforeMethod instead of beforeClass()?

  @BeforeMethod

  public void setupDriver() {

    super.setupDriver();  ?? or something similar?

  }

}
