The difference between ITestListener vs IInvokedMethodListener while adding custom steps

[farious2009]

Hi,

I was trying to add custom steps before each test using TestNG+Maven+Selenide.

Noticed that all works fine while using IInvokedMethodListener, but when it comes to ITestListener nothing is visible,
I am not interested in "before" configuration so wanted to use ITestListener only, but seems like not found a proper solution.

Is there a way to implement this change or it has something to do with Allure lifecycle() and that's why I cannot?

P.S.
Regular steps are displayed fine, using IInvokedMethodListener - either; the problem only with ITestListener.

Test code is below:

#####WORK##########

public class MethodListener implements IInvokedMethodListener {

public void beforeInvocation(IInvokedMethod method, ITestResult testResult) {
    var testNGMethod = testResult.getMethod();
    var UUID = java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString();
    var step = new StepResult();
    Allure.getLifecycle().startStep(UUID, step.setName("Starting my test: " + testNGMethod.getMethodName()));

#####DOES NOT WORK##########

public class MethodListener implements ITestListener

public void onTestStart(ITestResult testResult) {
    var testNGMethod = testResult.getMethod();
    var UUID = java.util.UUID.randomUUID().toString();
    var step = new StepResult();
    Allure.getLifecycle().startStep(UUID, step.setName("Starting my test: " + testNGMethod.getMethodName()));

Please look at https://github.com/biczomate/allure-testng7.5-attachment-example. The idea is the same, you can use Allure Lifecycle Listener instead of TestNG Listeners to avoid reporting issues

Thanks. That's worked out.

Though, will try to combine move/combine TestNG parameters in order to combine

TestLifecycleListener and IInvokedMethodListener as I wanna use ITestNGMethod.

Thanks a lot for help.

BTW to share the state between TestNG and Allure listeners, you can use a static variable holding a thread-local variable (InheritableThreadLocal).
