Strategy to access retry analyzer within an annotation transformer

[Bryan Davis]

In TestNG >=7.4.0 the retry analyzer is no longer accessible via the ITestAnnotation.  For example, the following code no longer works ("getRetryAnalyzer" method has been removed):

RetryAnalyzer retryAnalyzer = (RetryAnalyzer)annotation.getRetryAnalyzer();

retryAnalyzer.setMaxCount(5);

Is there a new strategy that can be used in order to access it within the transform method of the IAnnotationTransformer interface?  I am currently modifying the retry count based on groups within the @Test annotation.

Thank you.

The instance of the retry analyzer is no longer available for manipulation. 

That said and done, I think you can still access the "@Test" annotation's group attributes from within your Retry analyzer and then dynamically decide what should be the retry count that is to be used till a pass/fail can be determined.

You could also try setting the value via an attribute in ITestResult through a beforeInvocation and have that read from within your retry() method.

Thanks & Regards

Using your first suggestion I am now accessing the group attributes from within the retry analyzer and was successful in removing the need to manipulate the retry analyzer from the annotation transformer.

Thank you Krishnan!
