Override TestNG's getTestName method - interface

Question

I execute a TestNG test using a dataProvider.
So I set the testName via #BeforeMethod and I override getTestName().
This works so far, but it seems TestNG is calling the test's getTestName in the beginning
before it starts. This happens when an exception was thrown during configuration, so the #BeforeMethod is not executed and therefore my test name is null.
Is there anyway to call the original method, the one that would have been called if I would not have overwritten it :D since I implement an interface an do not extend from another class I cannot use super.getTestName().
Any way to solve this may be?
#Test(groups = {TestGroups.READY}, description = "check help on each tab")
public class HelpTest extends TestControl implements ITest {
// overriding to return my individual testname, but is null at the beginning
#Override
public String getTestName() {
return TestControl.getCurrentTestName();
}
#DataProvider(name = "tabs")
public Iterator<Object[]> tabs() {
Set<Object[]> list = new LinkedHashSet<Object[]>();
for (Tab tab : Tab.values()) {
list.add(new Object[]{tab});
}
return list.iterator();
}
// before the test below starts, i set my individual testname
#BeforeMethod
public void setTestName(Method method, Object[] testData) {
TestControl.setCurrentTestName(method.getName() + "_" + StringUtils.capitalize(testData[0].toString().toLowerCase()));
}
// executing the test with the given data provider
#Test(dataProvider = "tabs")
public void testHelpSites(Tab tab) throws Exception {
TestActions.goTab(tab).callHelp(tab).checkHelp();
}
}

Answer 1

I guess I figured it out, I also use a TestReporter via AbstractWebDriverEventListener and ITestListener and on its onTestStart(ITestResult result) it's calling the test's name and that's the source of the call before the #BeforeMethod call.
I solved it by checking if result.getName() is null, which calls the test's getTestName() if it implements ITest and if it's null I use the original name from result.getMethod.getMethodName(). Not pretty, but rare :D

I could solve this problem using ITestNGMethod testng class.
ITestNGMethod method = result.getMethod(); // result is ITestResult Object
method.getMethodName(); // This will return method name.
My complete method here:
#Override
public void onTestSuccess(ITestResult result) {
ITestNGMethod method = result.getMethod();
String message = "Test Execution is Successful:"+method.getMethodName();
}
Hope this helps
