Dynamically setting @TmsLink, @DisplayName & @Issue with DataProvider data

[symonk]

I'm submitting a ...

• bug report
• feature request
  template.

What is the current behavior?

I cannot seem to figure out a way in order to set the Issue, TmsLink and display name programmatically from the @test method, I have tried overriding the value(s) at runtime but with no success, my report does not seem to include the data

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

When using the junit @dataProvider annotation and passing data from a 2D array, we can then set our Issue/TmsLink/DisplayNames in the array test data and the report would reflect such data.

My sincerest apologies if this is possible to do already, I am struggling to find a way to make it work effectively

Allure version	2.2.0
Test framework	junit 4.12
Allure adaptor	allure-junit4@2.0-BETA13
Generate report using	allure-maven@2.19

Other information

When annotating the method with the @issue("foo"), all tests of the data provider will be set with this IssueId

Note: Sorry i logged this issue in the wrong project, please close close the issue here:
allure-framework/allure2#645

I am able to achieve this by implementing Issue and overriding the value() at runtime, is there a simpler more readable/friendly means of doing so? if not this is something I feel has real benefit in adding

[symonk]

we can implement Issue/DisplayName/TmsLink in our own class, then using the java reflection API check for the test method at runtime and override the values for these annotations but we must set them as blank on the test method, my solution works but its very hacky and really unclean, is there a better way guys?

  @UseDataProvider("saveCourseData")
    @DisplayName("")
    @Issue("")
    @TmsLink("")

    	Method m = SaveCourse.class.getDeclaredMethod("savecourse_scenarios_return_appropriate_responses", SeverityLevel.class, 
        		String.class, String.class, String.class
                , int.class, String.class, String.class, int.class, int.class, boolean.class, boolean.class, int.class,
                String.class);

        Issue i = m.getAnnotation(Issue.class);
        DynamicIssue di = new DynamicIssue(issueId);
        AnnotationHelper.changeAnnotationValue(i, "value", di.value());

Any update on this? I'd also like to see that feature. In my current project I sometimes have up to 20 parametrized tests served by one test method and it's difficult to keep track of all @TmsLinks. Solution above if fine but it would require a lot of changes in existing tests.

Did you tried Allure.getLifecycle() API?

Also you can use

https://github.com/allure-framework/allure-java/blob/master/allure-java-commons/src/main/java/io/qameta/allure/Allure.java#L39-L41

and

https://github.com/allure-framework/allure-java/blob/master/allure-java-commons/src/main/java/io/qameta/allure/util/ResultsUtils.java#L131-L137

@baev that will do the trick. Thanks a lot!

@Juvat, can you please share the code snippet you implemented using Allure.getLifecycle() API?

I am using following code to dynamicly change DisplayName at run time:
AllureLifecycle oLifecycle = Allure.getLifecycle();
oLifecycle.updateTestCase(testResult -> testResult.setName("My DisplayName"));

I'm struggling to get it work but it's not working for me.

I am using this approach: https://www.swtestacademy.com/change-test-name-testng-dataprovider/

Instead of the Extent report part I'm using this to updated the allure report test case name but it's not working with the latest Allure version 2.20.1:

public class TestListener extends ApiBaseTest implements ITestListener {

    @Override
    public void onTestStart(ITestResult result) {
        log.info("Executing test method: {} from test class: {}", result.getName(), result.getTestClass().getName());

        //update test method name in Allure report
        Allure.getLifecycle().updateTestCase(testResult -> testResult.setName(result.getName()));
    }
.....

I see the method name change while executing in IntelliJ, in the console output, the instance name is changed in the testng-results.xml but does not change the Displayed Name in the Allure report (I still see the default method name) and get these errors:

Warning: [org.testng.ITest] implementation on class [api.tests.X] returned null. Defaulting to method name
[main] ERROR io.qameta.allure.AllureLifecycle - Could not update test case: test case with uuid 4df36479-0c30-408c-92f7-86d65686a038 not found

Any ideas @baev, @Juvat, @GregoryGum ? What am I doing wrong?
