JUnit 4.11 get test result in @After

Question

Is there any way I can get the test result in the teardown (@After) method? I'd like to do clean up after the tests depending on the result.

Could not find much details about @After in the junit docs.

Answer 1

The closest thing to what you're asking for would probably be the TestWatcher rule.

Answer 2

Yes, if you use TestNG, it is a standard function, your @After method can look like this:

@AfterTest
public void cleanUp( ITestResult result ) {
    boolean success = result.isSuccess();
    ....
