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

Throwing a SkipException in a method annotated with @BeforeMethod did not work for me because it skipped all the remaining tests of my test suite with no regards if a SkipException were thrown for those tests.

I did not investigate it thoroughly but I found another way : using the dependsOnMethods attribute on the @Test annotation:

import org.testng.SkipException;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class MyTest {

  private boolean conditionX = true;
  private boolean conditionY = false;

  @Test
  public void isConditionX(){
    if(!conditionX){
      throw new SkipException("skipped because of X is false");
    }
  }

  @Test
  public void isConditionY(){
    if(!conditionY){
      throw new SkipException("skipped because of Y is false");
    }
  }

  @Test(dependsOnMethods="isConditionX")
  public void test1(){

  }

  @Test(dependsOnMethods="isConditionY")
  public void test2(){

  }
}
