    • reporter

      Reporter reporter()
      Get hold of test reporter for publishing additional information on a test container or method.
      Returns:
      Current instance to test reporter

    • wrapReporter

      @API(status=EXPERIMENTAL, since="1.5.1") void wrapReporter(Function<Reporter,Reporter> wrapper)
      Wrap reporter instance
      Parameters:
      wrapper - Wrapping function that takes original reporter and returns a wrapped instance

    • findAnnotation

      <T extends Annotation> Optional<T> findAnnotation(Class<T> annotationClass)
      Retrieve an annotation if present at the current test element.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The annotation type
      Parameters:
      annotationClass - The annotation type
      Returns:
      instance of annotation type

    • findAnnotationsInContainer

      <T extends Annotation> List<T> findAnnotationsInContainer(Class<T> annotationClass)
      Retrieve an annotation if present in the current element's containers. Search up the container stack. Closest container annotations come first in list.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The annotation type
      Parameters:
      annotationClass - The annotation type
      Returns:
      list of annotation objects

    • newInstance

      <T> T newInstance(Class<T> clazz)
      Create a new instance of a clazz in the context of the property in which it is running. Use this method, for example, when trying to instantiate a class retrieved from an annotation's attribute.

      The behaviour of this method differs from Class.newInstance() if the class to instantiate is a non-static member of the container class or even a nested container class.

      Type Parameters:
      T - The type to instantiate
      Parameters:
      clazz - The class to instantiate
      Returns:
      a freshly created instance of class clazz

    • resolveParameter

      Optional<ResolveParameterHook.ParameterSupplier> resolveParameter(Executable executable, int index)
      Resolve a parameter from a method in the context of the property in which it is running.
      Parameters:
      executable - The executable of the test container the parameter of which should be resolved
      index - The parameter's position in a method - starting with 0.
      Returns:
      supplier instance
      Throws:
      CannotResolveParameterException - if parameter cannot be resolved
