In TestNG in @AfterMethod how can I know the test result?

Question

Hi!

I have a number of TestNG test classes that all extend one base class AbstractIntegrationTest. In the superclass I have a mehod commonAfterMethod which is invoked after each test method and performs some clean-up.

What I want is to do in this method something depending on the test result, e.g. if the test fails, I want to dump the test data into a file for further investigation. The problem is that I need to do it exactly in commonAfterMethod because it performs a roll-back on the database and the data is lost afterwards.

Thanx

Perhaps you can do something with a test listener instead? See ITestListener and IInvokedMethodListener.
