Interface IMethodSelector

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

XmlMethodSelector

public interface IMethodSelector
extends java.io.Serializable

This interface is used to augment or replace TestNG's algorithm to decide whether a test method should be included in a test run. Created on Sep 26, 2005

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	includeMethod(IMethodSelectorContext context, ITestNGMethod method, boolean isTestMethod)
void	setTestMethods(java.util.List<ITestNGMethod> testMethods) Invoked when all the test methods are known so that the method selector can perform additional work, such as adding the transitive closure of all the groups being included and depended upon.

Method Detail

includeMethod

boolean includeMethod(IMethodSelectorContext context,
                      ITestNGMethod method,
                      boolean isTestMethod)

Parameters:

context - The selector context. The implementation of this method can invoke setHalted(true) to indicate that no other Method Selector should be invoked by TestNG after this one. Additionally, this implementation can manipulate the Map object returned by getUserData().

method - The test method

isTestMethod - true if this is a @Test method, false if it's a configuration method

Returns:

true if this method should be included in the test run, false otherwise

setTestMethods

void setTestMethods(java.util.List<ITestNGMethod> testMethods)

Invoked when all the test methods are known so that the method selector can perform additional work, such as adding the transitive closure of all the groups being included and depended upon.
