java - TestNG how to skip test when beforetest fails in inheritance -

i have little problem testng. below example code:

abstract class parent {   abstract void beforetest();   @test  void test() {          // testing  } }  class child extends parent {   @beforetest  void beforetest() {       \\some before things  } } 

and question how code work properly? want perform beforetest() method , if fails test method shoud skip. how can achieve thing?

usually, configuration methods go parrent , test classes should extend parrent. so, try using example tests:

abstract class testbase {     @beforetest     public void beforetest() {         // config here          // run each of <test> tag in testng.xml suite     }      @beforemethod     public void beforemethod() {         // config here          // run each method annotated @test     } }  class sometestclass extends testbase {     @test     public void some_test() {         // testing     } }
