testNG annotation which would equal to "finally" in java?

Question

i don't know if my question was clear, but i am using testNG and i have this:

@Test
public void passengerServiceTest() {
...
}

@AfterTest
public void deleteCreatedPassenger() {
...    
}

I want to execute my deleteCreatedPassenger() method after passengerServiceTest, also, i want that in case of deleteCreatedPassenger fails, passengerServiceTest fails too, in other words, i want that both of them be the same test, so if one them fails, test fails. So i tried with the annotations @AfterTest, @AfterMethod, @AfterClass and all make two tests as "separated" tests. Do you know how to do this? Regards

You don't need annotations to achieve this, since it's exactly what the finally block is intended for:

@Test
public void passengerServiceTest() {            
    try {
        //test code 
    } finally {
        deleteCreatedPassenger();
    }
}

public void deleteCreatedPassenger() {
...    
}

If the delete throws an exception then your service test fails.

Annotations are useful in certain scenarios, you shouldn't aim to use them over core language constructs.
