Data Provider Parallelism : Programatically

[Musaffir lp]

Hello,

We have the wonderfurl @DataProvider feature which can be set with the attribute parallell=true to acheive the parallel execution of different data supllied
ex:


  @DataProvider(name = "parallelDataProvider", parallel=true)
   public Object[][] parallelDataProvider(Method testMethod) 
   {

       // some code
  }

Instead of, I hardocde this attribute like this .... can I pass it programatically ?
Why I am looking for this : beacuse I want my data provider to behave differently....i don't want it to supply the data in parallel always to the test methods.. i should be able to easily modify its behaviour...
and at the same time I do not want to come back here and update the attribute of the data provider method based on my need ...it should be able to change at run time ...


Thanks & Warm Regards

The following steps should help you with your use-case.

• Build an implementation of org.testng.IAnnotationTransformer2
• Plugin your transformation logic within org.testng.IAnnotationTransformer2#transform(org.testng.annotations.IDataProviderAnnotation, java.lang.reflect.Method)
• Wire in this listener using the <listeners> tag or using Service loaders.

That should suffice.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you Krishnan
I already have a listener class which implements -  org.testng.internal.annotations.IAnnotationTransformer , where I was delibrately looking for this option....
Now I will look in to - org.testng.IAnnotationTransformer2
Thakns again
