Stopping a test when a thred fails.

[jabadia]

Hello,

I might have seen this sort of question in the forum, but I did not see any
clear answer.

Lets assume I have a ping thread to a server , and the main thread that does
something else for ever.

I would like the main thread ( = the entire test ) to fail/stop in case of a
failure on the ping thread.

I know that I can report a failure via the monitor thread, but the main will
continue forever.

Is there a way to generate some sort of an Event and catch it then stop the
test ?

Is there another way? ( I saw the yes/no J option ion window )

Thanks,

Yossi.

Here is a possible solution, I haven't tried it, but it should work.

In your thread activate this code:

if (ListenerstManager.getInstance() instanceof ListenerstManager) {

((ListenerstManager)ListenerstManager.getInstance()).gracefulStop();

}

Pay attention to the following limitations:

1. This code will only work when activating test from the runner. (it will not run when running test from eclipse)
   
2. The more problematic issue: after the code above is activated, execution will stop in the next time the test makes a report (report.report(...)), so you need to embed report calls in your test code.

Thanks Golan,

I'll give it a try.

When running from maven the provided solution doesn't work.
Is there any solution?
