Using Reporter.log() in @AfterMethod

[Sébastien Bouffard]

Hello

I just noticed that when I use Reporter.log() in a method that is
annotated with @AfterMethod, the output will be written only in the
file "reporter-output.html".

It will not be written to the html report file of the test itself thus
it won't show up when clicking on the "Show all outputs" link for a
specific method. For the output to show there, you have to call
Reporter.log() from the test method itself, before @AfterMethod is
called.

Is this by design?

Hi Sébastien,

Kind of. The logs are indexed by methods, and since the (current) reports only display the test methods in the main view, anything logged in a method that's not a test method won't appear there.

I agree it would make sense to add the logs for some configuration methods.

Actually if @afterMethod failes the logs go to the report.

This is also a kind of show stopper for us right now, sine we are
using smth like this:

@AfterMethod(alwaysRun = true)
protected void afterTest(final ITestResult result,
final ITestContext context) throws Exception {
Reporter.log("IN AFTERMETHOD");
if (!result.isSuccess() || result.getThrowable() != null) {

Reporter.log("TC X FAILED, see additional info in file Y");

} else {
Reporter.log("TC X PASSED");
}
}

But if there was no error nothing will be reported :(

I guess there is no workaround for this as of now?


THX and BR;

Hi Cédric

The fact that i can't carry weight on the method-report in the @BeforeMethod
and @AfterMethod bothers me too...

Strange enough, the "Method" object that can be passed to any method
annotated with BeforeMtehod or AfterMethod is allready holding the effective
test-method.

So it seems the "m_currentTestResult" in the Reporter is perhaps just not
the right fact to use as an log-index! ;-)

Greets,
Arno

Hi Cedric,

I am using testng-6.9.4.jar and I still see that Reporter.log() logs are showing in old reports but not in the new reports.  Has this been addressed yet or is it going to remain this way?  I really wanted testsOnly to be false or be able to be configured in xml Suite as parameter.

Is there any such option for me that I could use?  or is there a work around to get new reports show logs from non-test methods as well?

Thanks,

--Abdullah.

Just to elaborate on this, I am not seeing any NullPointerException (NPE) but the generated reports only show logs from test methods only and none from BeforeMethod, BeforeClass, AfterMethod, AfterClass, (and possible DataProvider methos as well, haven't tried that).  Tried this using 6.8.21 as well as 6.9.4 versions of testng jars.

Appreciate it if you can shed some light on how to achieve this or if it needs a fix, when it will be fixed?

--Abdullah.

Reporter.log will not work correctly in AfterMethod or BeforeMethod. To get around this, I use onTestSuccess and onTestFailure, and onTestStart (from ITestListener - http://testng.org/javadoc/org/testng/ITestListener.html ). Reporter.log will work (as far as I have seen) from these methods.

I Found a way to use Reporter.log("s") in @AfterMethod annotated method. 

@AfterMethod
public void reportTest(ITestResult result) {
  Reporter.setCurrentTestResult(result);
  Reporter.log("Message");
}

The method will receive ITestResult runtime object for the test that has just finished.

Thanks  Ibrahim , I tried it and working fine
