Testwatcher facility?

[steckerhalter]

Hi... I'm using Gauge with Kotlin at the moment.

Previously I have been using JUnit5 where I could execute code for example when failure occurred: https://junit.org/junit5/docs/5.5.1/api/org/junit/jupiter/api/extension/TestWatcher.html

Is there a similar facility in Gauge I could use?

Thank you.

Gauge does not have this feature.

As a workaround you could add a script to detect a failure exit code after a Gauge run to trigger another program. You could also use the xml/json reporting plugin to parse the result and detect failures.

Thanks I'm using Selenoid to record videos of the tests and therefore need the Selenium context to extract the video url. I'll see what I can do. Maybe I can hook into the Java code somehow but it doesn't look easy.

Perhaps Gauge could add a feature for this with annotations in the future? e.g.

@AfterFailure

@AfterSuccess

@AfterAbortion

or something similar?

You can propose this as a feature at https://github.com/getgauge/gauge/issues.
To be honest it's a lot of work as any new feature need to be ported to all langauge runners. At the moment there are no plans to add new features to Gauge. A pull request to support this will be nice.
