How can I fail a test in TestNG in an AfterMethod?

[Srikanth Pulletikurthi]

Hi,

I want to check some external log files after each test, if there were ary errors during execution.
I want my test case to be failed if there are any core dumps found.

As you can see from the attachment, there is a coredump found during tearDown() but the actual
test case is still passed.

Setting the current test result to failure in onConfigurationFailure() using below two lines of code didn't work. Still only the
configuration method (tearDown()) is failing but not the actual test.

result.setStatus(ITestResult.FAILURE);
Reporter.setCurrentTestResult(result);

How can I fail the actual test along the configuration method ?

 @AfterMethod(alwaysRun=true)
       public void afterMethod() throws Exception {
          System.out.println("in afterMethod");
          throw new Exception("Hello!!");
       }
It worked for me. in Hello string you can specify the error message which is their in your log.

The skip list is because my test depends on test case 2.

The below is the output
