Is it possible to stop or skip whole suite execution if a particular test fails

[Abhay]

My test performs validation on browser UI as well as device (as backend). Sometime, device goes offline. It does not make sense for me run tests when device is offline.

As of now, I checking device is online in every test method. I want to check device status as first test & skip or stop suite execution if first test fails.

I can not put this code in beforeSuite() method, due to framework limitation.

Any other way, I can handle this.

In simple terms you could the following:

 

1. Build an implementation of ITestListener.
2. Within this implementation, add a logic within onTestFailure() that basically sets an attribute at the ITestContext level indicating that a test had a failure.
3. Within the same implementation, inside onTestStart() check if the current ITestContext has the failure indicating attribute set. If attribute is set, then throw a SkipException.

 

That should perhaps take care of this need of yours.

 

PS: Please ensure that you are using the latest released TestNG version (7.4.0 as of today).
