How to exit out of data driven testing

[MCD dotCom]

Hello,

I have a total of 10 rows of test data in an .xlsx file containing both valid and invalid reference numbers.

I would like to configure my test to execute only the first 5 valid reference numbers.

How can I set this limit? The exit below is not working for me.

public class FirstTest extends BaseTest {
int count = 0;

@DataProvider(name = "Data")
public Object[][] getWorkflowData(ITestContext context) {
// fetch test data
return testData;
}

@Test(dataProvider = "Data")
public void test(Map<String, String> rowData) {

if (validRefNo()) {

// perform actions

        count++;        

               if (count >= 5) {
          System.out.println("COUNT: " + count);
                  throw new SkipException("Stopping iteration after 5 iterations"); // second way to exit but not working

                          //return; // First way to exit but not working
                }
}
}

}

I forgot to mention that the test iterates through all the rows regardless of the number of valid reference numbers. But, I only want to process up to 5 valid reference numbers.

Have you tried altering your data provider to ensure that it creates the 2D array only with those records that you want to process? 

What happens when you add conditional logic to your data provider such that if it stumbles into an invalid reference it skips from adding it to the 2D array? 

To me this sounds more like a programming problem than a TestNG problem. 

Thanks & Regards

I can add some logic in my readData method, which fetches the data from the .xlsx file, by adding a counter. I'm just checking to see if there is a way to exit out of the loop in the test method, given the example above.

Maybe you can try @DataProvider(indices = {0,1,2,3,4}), but you will need to have several data providers for all needed ranges.
