How to disable TestNG test based on a condition

Question

Is there currently a way to disable TestNG test based on a condition

I know you can currently disable test as so in TestNG:

@Test(en         


        

Answer 1

An easier option is to use the @BeforeMethod annotation on a method which checks your condition. If you want to skip the tests, then just throw a SkipException. Like this:

@BeforeMethod
protected void checkEnvironment() {
  if (!resourceAvailable) {
    throw new SkipException("Skipping tests because resource was not available.");
  }
}
