How can let data provider to skip the test, if the data provider throws exception

[Ben]

I am using data provider to do data driven test. The data providers
will grab the data from the file in different ways and I used
reflection to match the method name and data in external xml file.
sometime it will fail to get the data so I throw an exception, which
extends from SkipException.
Now, what i want to achieve is that when data providers fail to get
the data, then this test case skips, not fail.

Is there anyway to do that, or any better solution for this kind of
issue?

Thanks,
Ben

Could you just return no rows from the dataprovider? Effectively, the
test won't run, right?

no, will throw null point exception, since the test case still try to
call the null array go get data

Return an empty array, not null.
