Element Detail

enabled

public abstract boolean enabled

Whether methods on this class/method are enabled.

Returns:

the value (default true)

Default:

true

groups

public abstract String[] groups

The list of groups this class/method belongs to. Note that even if the test method that was invoked belongs to a different group, all @AfterMethod methods will be invoked after it as long as they belong to groups that were selected to run at all. See onlyForGroups() to select test method groups which this method will be invoked after.

Returns:

the value

Default:

{}

dependsOnGroups

public abstract String[] dependsOnGroups

The list of groups this method depends on. Every method member of one of these groups is guaranteed to have been invoked before this method. Furthermore, if any of these methods was not a SUCCESS, this test method will not be run and will be flagged as a SKIP.

Returns:

the value

Default:

{}

dependsOnMethods

public abstract String[] dependsOnMethods

The list of methods this method depends on. There is no guarantee of the order in which the methods depended upon will be run, but you are guaranteed that all these methods will be run before the test method that contains this annotation is run. Furthermore, if any of these methods was not a SUCCESS, this test method will not be run and will be flagged as a SKIP.

If some of these methods have been overloaded, all the overloaded versions will be run.

Returns:

the value

Default:

{}

onlyForGroups

public abstract String[] onlyForGroups

Causes this method to be invoked only if the test method belongs to a listed group. It can be used if different cleanups are needed for different groups. Omitting this or setting it to an empty list will cause this method to run after every test method, regardless of which group it belongs to. Otherwise, this method is only invoked if the test method that was invoked belongs to one of the groups listed here.

Returns:

the value

Default:

{}

alwaysRun

public abstract boolean alwaysRun

For before methods (beforeSuite, beforeTest, beforeTestClass and beforeTestMethod, but not beforeGroups): if set to true, this configuration method will be run regardless of what groups it belongs to.
For after methods (afterSuite, afterClass, ...): if set to true, this configuration method will be run even if one or more test methods invoked previously failed or was skipped.

Returns:

the value (default false)

Default:

false

inheritGroups

public abstract boolean inheritGroups

If true, this @Configuration method will belong to groups specified in the @Test annotation on the class (if any).

Returns:

the value (default true)

Default:

true

description

public abstract String description

The description for this method. The string used will appear in the HTML report and also on standard output if verbose > 2.

Returns:

the value (default empty)

Default:

""

lastTimeOnly

public abstract boolean lastTimeOnly

If true and the @Test method that was just run has an invocationCount > 1, this AfterMethod will only be invoked once (after the last test invocation).

Returns:

the value (default false)

Default:

false

timeOut

public abstract long timeOut

The maximum number of milliseconds this method should take. If it hasn't returned after this time, this method will fail and it will cause test methods depending on it to be skipped.

Returns:

the value (default 0)

Default:

0L
