Is it possible to get all test methods that belong to a group?

[Nagesh]

Hello!

Is there a programmatic way to get all test methods that belong to a certain group?

1. Create a XmlTest instance.

2. Invoke org.testng.internal.annotations.AnnotationHelper#findMethodsWithAnnotation [ here you can pass an instance of JDK15AnnotationFinder() for IAnnotationFinder)

3. Now from the ITestNGMethod[] array build Set<ITestClass> (just to ensure we get only the unique classes.

4. Now invoke org.testng.internal.MethodGroupsHelper#findGroupsMethods with the Set<ITestClass> obtained from (3) and false [ so that we get all beforeXXX methods that are part of your group ]

5. Repeat step (4) with false [so that we get all afterXXX methods that are part of your group ]

The map that you get from (4) and (5) essentially would hold the details that you are looking for.

Thanks & Regards

Thanks Krishnan. I was struggling to define what I was actually looking for. I got an idea of what needed to be done, from one of your earlier posts and was able to adapt it to what I wanted to do.

Krishnan Sir, Can you give a demo example ? or else any blog you have written on this.

Thanks in Advance.

Ram,

Let me see if I can put up something over the weekend.

It turns out that there's a much more simpler way of doing this.

I have created a sample to show how to get this information from a ISuiteListener implementation

Neat solution. Thanks for sharing Krishnan. 

What I needed and eventually ended up doing after I asked this question was to get a unique list of groups that belong to the test classes in my suite.

May not be optimal, but did the trick for me.

private List<String> getListOfGroupsInTestClasses(ITestContext context) {
    Collection<ITestClass> testClassesMap = ((TestRunner) context).getTestClasses();

    List<List<String>> groupsList = new ArrayList<>();
    for (ITestClass testClass : testClassesMap) {
        List<ITestNGMethod> testMethods = Arrays.asList(testClass.getTestMethods());
        for (ITestNGMethod testMethod : testMethods) {
            List<String> groupsPerMethod = Arrays.asList(testMethod.getGroups());
            groupsList.add(groupsPerMethod);
        }
    }
    List<String> overallGroupsList = new ArrayList<>();
    for (List<String> groups : groupsList) {
        for (String finalGroup : groups) {
            overallGroupsList.add(String.valueOf(finalGroup));
        }
    }
    return new ArrayList<>(new LinkedHashSet<>(overallGroupsList));
}
