If you are using JUnit to execute, you can extend the TestWatcher
class:
public class TestRules extends TestWatcher {
@Override
protected void failed(Throwable e, Description description) {
// This will be called whenever a test fails.
}
So in your test class you can simply call it:
public class testClass{
@Rule
public TestRules testRules = new TestRules();
@Test
public void doTestSomething() throws Exception{
// If the test fails for any reason, it will be caught be testrules.
}
