how to stop and start execution of for loop

Question

I am creating framework for our project,

BEFOREMETHOD (reads first row using JXl)

@BeforeMethod
public void Test2() throws BiffException, IOException{
    FileInputStream filepath = new FileInputStream("D://Selenium//Project_Stage//AddGroup//inputtoAddGroup.xls");
    Workbook wb = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath);
    Sheet sh = wb.getSheet(0);
    int totalNoOfRows = sh.getRows(); 
    int rows;
    for (rows=1 ; rows < totalNoOfRows;) {
        System.out.println("BeforeMethod Executed"+rows);
        CellContent1 = sh.getCell(0, rows).getContents().toUpperCase();
        System.out.println("CellContent is: "+CellContent1);
        CellContent2 = sh.getCell(1, rows).getContents();
        CellContent3 = sh.getCell(2, rows).getContents();
        CellContent4 = sh.getCell(3, rows).getContents();
        CellContent5 = sh.getCell(4, rows).getContents();
        rows=rows+1;
    }
}

Test methods

@Test(priority=0)
public void Test(){
    System.out.println("Test Is Executed1");
    if (CellContent1.matches("TRUE")) {
        System.out.println("p=0 Cell content is : "+CellContent5);
        cells.add(CellContent5);
    }
}

What I want is, for each test method there is a BeforeMethod get executed at first right, my question is I have reading first row from Excel I placed it in Before method (I need it in test method), for second row from Excel I want to read to execute second test method how should I achieve that?

If there any other way like using different loops please help me out.

Answer 1

change your iteration to the following:

     for (rows = 0 ; rows < totalNoOfRows; rows++) {
        for (columns = 0; columns <= 4; columns++){
            System.out.println("BeforeMethod Executed "+ rows + " " + columns);
            CellContent content =sh.getCell(columns, rows).getContents().toUpperCase();
            Test(content);

     }
        }

and adapt your Test method (PS: method and fieldnames should start with lower case!):

@Test(priority=0)
public void Test(CellContent content){
    System.out.println("Test Is Executed");
    if (content.matches("TRUE")) {
        System.out.println("Cell content is : "+ content);
        cells.add(content);
    }
}

Also it seems that your object CellContent is a String object. Maybe you could substitute CellContent with String.

If you specificaly want to display the row and column of your cell extend the parameters of your Test method:

@Test(priority=0)
    public void Test(CellContent content, int column, int row){
        System.out.println("Test Is Executed");
        if (content.matches("TRUE")) {
            System.out.println("Cell content of cell " + column + "," + row + " is : "+ content);
            cells.add(content);
        }
    }
