Pass around own reference (multithreading)

[MaC]

Hi Folks!


I wonder if I can pass my own reference to an object to the testNG
methods. For instance I want to have a reference to a selenium
webdriver inside @AfterMethod ?

This is need for me because I want to be able to run test methods in
parallel but still use webdriver in a thread safe manner.

Anybody can help me on that?


THX!

Declare an ITestContext in your method and use setAttribute/getAttribute.

Dear Cédric!








I have tried this, but this does not seem to be thread safe either :(




If I am having the same test-method running but in different threads,
they still seem to share the same ITestContext :(




The additional problem is that afterMethod runs in a different thread
so I cant even use the ThreadID to much stuff back together :(




THX 4 the support!

I also ran into this problem, ended up solving it by doing the following:

Also pass the method into everywhere you use the ITestContext.
Then instead of just setting an attribute of "webdriver" in the context, set method.getName()+"_webdriver"
Then, in your AfterMethod, get it back the same way.

This won't work if you use , invocationCount=5, threadPoolSize=5 though :(
