Is there a way to handle exceptions in testNG

Question

Suppose, I get error in a particular test case, if this happens the remaining test cases are not even checked. Is there a way to handle exception like try catch block in testNG?

Answer 1

Yes, like exception handling in java here also in testNG there is a method by which you can handle exceptions

package testNG;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class Test {
    @Test
    public void testException() {
        System.out.println("Check the following");
        int i = 1 / 0;
    }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="testNG">
<test name="Test">
<classes>
<class name="TestNGException" />
</classes>
</test>
</suite>

Output:

[TestNG] Running:

Check the following

===============================================
Default suite
Total tests run: 1, Failures: 1, Skips: 0
===============================================

You can see that there is a failed test case. Hope this helps 

Answer 2

I don't think this should be a problem. If the test case fails, then the report will say this particular test case failed and others passed/ failed accordingly. It won't prevent others from executing. I'd advise you to check your issue once again.
