You have to skip the test in extent reports as well.

Have you written the code to skip the test in extent reports as well?

Hi Ashish

so where should the code go and what should the code be like. I am a little lost here. could you help

test.log(Status.SKIP, "Skipping the test");

This can be in test case or listenter

Jut look at testng and project structure videos once

So i do have it as part of the listener , still its not capturing it

So what i did now was i went back to the lesson "Passing Parameters into test, Dependencies between tests and groups, Mailing Reports" and got teh code for this lesson which is ProjectStructure and i made the below modifications: Under suiteC package there are two tests TestC and TestCC. So for TestC i changed the group name to abc and made TestCC be dependent on that group abc and i made the TestC deliberately fail so then the TestCC gets skipped . Now what is happening isIt fails TestC and when it comes to TestCC it throws a null pointer exception at the(test.log line in cutomlistener class). The thing is result.getAttribute("reporter")- is returning null so teh test .log throws a null pointer exception

public void onTestSkipped(ITestResult result) {
System.out.println("----Test skipped----");
ExtentTest test = (ExtentTest)result.getAttribute("reporter");
test.log(Status.SKIP, "Test Passed - "+ result.getName());
}

So when i looked into the code further we are setting the reporter attribute as part of beforemethod annotation. When  a test case is skipped due to dependency the before method is not executed. How to make this work. I badly need a way to capture skipped test cases(due to dependencies) in extent reports

ashish and team

i have serached for this scenario accross various platforms but couldnt get a solution. i really need this to work. Everywhere they have done dependsongroups allhave just printed to console but never to a report.

Sorry for delay

1) Are you running code from TestNG.xml

2) Have you registered your listener in testNG.xml. Is your listener extending testnglistneradaptor

3) Is control reaching your listener function? If no then there is config issue in testNG.xml or listener

4) I can see your code base is very different from the one from training. Hope so you have understood the concept from the videos

1. I am running the testng.xml

2. yes its is registered

3. yes its reaching the listener function

4. The code base which i posted at the start of the question is different but then i went back to the module and am now using your code base

The code or project am using from your code base is "ProjectStructure" project. I have attached the files which i made modifications to in the attachment add them to your existing project and you will see the below output:

Browser is null
Executing the test in browser null
Starting C null

Why are these parameters printing null

Please debug once

I wantedly kept those parameters null so that it will make TestC fail which will make the TestCC  skip, which is the objective " skipping of the depedent test case and it getting loggen in the report"

Can you zip your entire project and send it across

attaching the project , please help

Still waiting for your solution

Sorry for late reply.

I have emailed you

attaching the project again, could you please try with this
