How can I make condition to use data provider for test?

[Eyal]

Let's say I have a test that needs to get 2 jsons file (but differents)

so I want to say to the test that if the file is x then provide him, else provide another one

How are you going to be adding the condition that controls the data provider ?

A simple way would be to pass the toggling mechanism via a JVM argument which your data provider can query and then pass the respect file.

The "@DataProvider" annotated method can also accept an "ITestContext" object. So you could have this dynamic behaviour built by passing in parameters as well from your suite xml, which can be read via the ITestContext object in your TestNG data provider.

Nice solution Krishnan. I should try that.

I solved a similar problem by injecting the data-provider values from the OnStart method of the TestListener.
