Approach to know LIVE execution duration of a test method

[Sambhav Dave]

So my requirement goes like this:

While the TestNG test method is executing, I want to have a listener tracking the execution time (live). Once it crosses 4 minutes, I basically want to hit an API endpoint to renew a user-access token. 

Folks, can anyone provide some help here? Thanks in advance.

You dont need a listener for this. 

You should be able to solve this using a timer. 

You can do something like this. 

1. Create a custom listener which can be used to annotate your test to indicate that a particular test needs this capability of scheduling token refresh 

2. Create a custom listener that parses the custom annotation and if found it schedules a task that refreshes the token. 

If the annotation route sounds complicated you can build the same thing by creating a base class ( which only your token refresh test cases will extend ) and which implements IHookable interface. Within this implementation you can add the logic of creating and starting a timer which you can stop after the test finishes and before you exit the run() method.

Hope that helps
