Configfailurepolicy in TestNG

[veenadevi]

In the TestNG framework, if there are any configuration failures, which means any issues in @BeforeTest, method, then usually the test execution skips the @Test methods.

To overcome this use configfailurepolicy=“continue” in testsuite.xml .The default value for configfailurepolicy is skip.

Here is the Code Sample.

testsuite.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite1" configfailurepolicy="continue" verbose="1">
    <test name="Regression1">
        <classes>
            <class name="test.java.my.codeSamples.CheckConfigFailureTest"></class>
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

CheckConfigFailureTest.java

package test.java.my.codeSamples;

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.*;

public class CheckConfigFailureTest

{
   
 @BeforeTest

    public void chechBeforeFailure(){
        System.out.println("chechBeforeClassFailure");
       Assert.assertTrue(false);
    }

    @Test
    public void doActualTest(){
        System.out.println("doActualTest");
    }

    @Test
    public void doActualTest2(){
        System.out.println("doActualTest2");
    }

}

Execution Result

Without configfailurepolicy=“continue”

With configfailurepolicy=“continue”
