TestNG appends instance count to the test name in reports

[zathras]

TestNG appends instance count to the test name in reports, and this is not what I want. I can't use a report listener,because I'm running in ADO, and they only use the default report builder. I don't want this number appended, because it effectly changes the test name, so test case history is skewed, if I have retries on failure. 

I've tried all of the renaming techniques I could find, and they work fine, except for the [<incident>] number appended to the name. 

Here's and example of what I'm seeing. The ones with dataproviders have the unwanted appendage. 

<testsuite name="test.RetryExperiment" tests="7" skipped="0" failures="0" errors="0" timestamp="2019-03-18T11:57:07" hostname="ebishop" time="38.206">
  <properties/>
  <testcase name="RetryExperiment.dataProviderRetryTest [0](a, thing for a)" classname="test.RetryExperiment" time="0.002"/>
  <testcase name="RetryExperiment.dataProviderRetryTest [1](b, thing for b)" classname="test.RetryExperiment" time="0.001"/>
  <testcase name="RetryExperiment.dataProviderRetryTest [2](x, thing for x)" classname="test.RetryExperiment" time="0.001"/>
  <testcase name="RetryExperiment.dataProviderRetryTest2 [0](Durok, red)" classname="test.RetryExperiment" time="0.0"/>
  <testcase name="RetryExperiment.dataProviderRetryTest2 [1](Hampshire, Black with white stripe.)" classname="test.RetryExperiment" time="0.001"/>
  <testcase name="RetryExperiment.dataProviderRetryTest2 [2](Chester White, White)" classname="test.RetryExperiment" time="0.001"/>
  <testcase name="RetryExperiment.simpleRetryTest " classname="test.RetryExperiment" time="0.0"/>

I didnt quite understand this. Why do you say you cannot use/build your own listener? 

Also can you please tell me what xml report are you referring to here?

In ADO, they only use reports created from the default Junit reporter. I have not tried overriding the TestNG default reporter, but I assume it's the same deal.

Have you tried extending the default JUnit Reporter that TestNG provides, customize it to your needs and then work with it ?

You could try disabling the default reports. That way the one that TestNG internally has is not used, and yours get used instead.

How do I disable the default?

If you are running with Maven, you can add it as a property to your surefire plugin section.

Something like this:

<plugin>

    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

    <version>2.19.1</version>

    <executions>

        <execution>

            <phase>test</phase>

        </execution>

    </executions>

    <configuration>

        <properties>

            <property>

                <name>usedefaultlisteners</name>

                <value>false</value>

            </property>

        </properties>

    </configuration>

</plugin>
