TestNG: how NOT to ignore @Test(testName) on method-level

I'm trying to use the testName-attribute from @Test for my ReportNG html-output.

Unfortunately it says:

/**
* The name of the test  this test class should be placed in.  This
* attribute is ignore if @Test is not at the class level.
*/
public String testName() default "";

So the testName is always empty.

What needs to be changed to NOT ignore this attribute on method-level?

I'm using TestNG .xml suites to run my tests, if that's important to know.

Happy for any hint, cheers!

Solution

  • It makes no sense to specify this at the method level since the name of the test applies to the entire class.
