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(enabled=false, group={"blah"}) public void testCurrency(){ ... } 

I will like to disable the same test based on a condition but dont know how. something Like this:

@Test(enabled={isUk() ? false : true), group={"blah"}) public void testCurrency(){ ... } 

Anyone has a clue on whether this is possible or not.

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.");   } }
