访问不同类的测试注释中的值-TestNg

Question

I have a custom Annotation I created as below

import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface TestConfig {
    String[] value();
}

I have test that extends a BaseClass .

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class MyTest extends BaseClass {

    @Test
    @TestConfig({ "enableCookies" })
    public void startTest() {
        startInstance();
    }
}

Now I need to access the values inside @TestConfig annotation inside my BaseClass which is below

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite;

public class BaseClass {

    public void startInstance() {
        System.out.println("starting instance");
        //I need to access the value supplied in "MyTest" inside @TestConfig annotation here. How do I do that.
    }

    @BeforeSuite
    public void runChecks() {
        System.out.println("Checks done....");
    }
}

I know I can do TestConfig config = method.getAnnotation(TestConfig.class) but how do I access the TestNG TestMethod class? Please help.

You can do something like (but remove the direct call in the test method):

@BeforeMethod
public void startInstance(Method m) {
    System.out.println("starting instance");
    //I need to access the value supplied in "MyTest" inside @TestConfig annotation here. How do I do that.
    TestConfig tc = m.getAnnotation(TestConfig.class);
    System.out.println(tc.value());
}
