How to get the test result status from TestNG/Selenium in @AfterMethod?

Question

For a research I'm doing, I'm in need of capturing the result status (Passed/Failed) after running the test method (@Test), from @AfterMethod.

I have been using the import org.testng.ITestResult; as an out come of my research to get my work easier after going the several online blogs, but It seems like it didn't success my expectation as always the result outputs as passed, even though an assertion failed.

My Code is as follows :

public class SampleTestForTestProject {
ITestResult result;

@Test(priority = 1)
public void testcase(){

    // intentionally failing the assertion to make the test method fail 
    boolean actual = true;
    boolean expected = false;
    Assert.assertEquals(actual, expected);

}

@AfterMethod
public void afterMethod()  {

    result = Reporter.getCurrentTestResult();

    switch (result.getStatus()) {
    case ITestResult.SUCCESS:
        System.out.println("======PASS=====");
        // my expected functionality here when passed
        break;

    case ITestResult.FAILURE:
        System.out.println("======FAIL=====");
        // my expected functionality here when passed
        break;

    case ITestResult.SKIP:
        System.out.println("======SKIP BLOCKED=====");
        // my expected functionality here when passed
        break;

    default:
        throw new RuntimeException("Invalid status");
    }
  }
}

Result in the Console :

[TestNG] Running:  C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\testng-eclipse--988445809\testng-customsuite.xml

======PASS=====

FAILED: testcaseFail
java.lang.AssertionError: expected [false] but found [true]

My expectation is to get the test result to a variable to get through the switch, as given in the above code snippet, and get printed "======FAIL=====" when the test method fail.

Will someone be able assist me kindly to catch the execution test result for each test method (@Test). If the method I have approached is wrong, please assist me with a code snippet to the correct approach, kindly.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

just do it:

public class stacktest  {


@Test
public void teststackquestion() {

    boolean actual = true;
    boolean expected = false;
   Assert.assertEquals(actual, expected);

}


@AfterMethod
public void afterMethod(ITestResult result)
{
    try
 {
    if(result.getStatus() == ITestResult.SUCCESS)
    {

        //Do something here
        System.out.println("passed **********");
    }

    else if(result.getStatus() == ITestResult.FAILURE)
    {
         //Do something here
        System.out.println("Failed ***********");

    }

     else if(result.getStatus() == ITestResult.SKIP ){

        System.out.println("Skiped***********");

    }
}
   catch(Exception e)
   {
     e.printStackTrace();
   }

}

}

The TestListenerAdapter has methods for each of those situations (success, skipped, failure). My suggestions is to make your own listener like this.

public class MyTestResultListener extends TestListenerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void onTestFailure(ITestResult result) {
        // do what you want to do
    }

    @Override
    public void onTestSuccess(ITestResult result) {
        // do what you want to do
    }

   @Override
    public void onTestSkipped(ITestResult result) {
        // do what you want to do
    }
}

Then add your listener to the test class.

@Listeners(MyTestResultListener.class)
public class MyTest {

// your tests

}
