TestNg-Rerunning Skipped Test cases (On Configuration Failures)

[santhosh soma]

Hello All,

We have implemented Recovery/Retry Mechanism for the Failure test cases. We are successful so far for the re running failure test cases from the end to end.

At the same time,  TestNG is marking the test cases as Skipped if any before configuration method fails. Due to this, Retry Listener is not picking up the skipped tests.

Is there any possible way to handle this? 

Thanks

Santhosh.

Are you looking for a retry mechanism for a configuration method?

 

Retrying is applicable only for failed tests and not for skipped tests.

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi Krishnan,

Thanks for the quick response. Yes I am looking for the retry mechanism for a configuration method failure.

Yes I am aware of Retrying is applicable only for failed test and not for skipped tests.

Thanks
Santhosh.

I don't think there is any such mechanism out there. So you can perhaps build it on your own, by having a loop based retry mechanism (which tries "n" times before giving up), within your configuration methods, which retries until either the config passes or n attempts have been made.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Santhosh,

Looking for the solutions of retrying skipped tests along with failed, as you put the query for. Any better luck? if yes please do share. Thanks.
