Get Priority Number In Selenium TestNG - selenium

Question

Is there any way of getting/knowing the priority number within a test suit? i.e.
#Test (priority = 1, groups = { "requiredSetUp" })
public void login(){
System.debug('This test is assigned ' + getPriorityNumber());
}

You can implement it using IAnnotationTransformer. For example you could do something like:
public class NewTest implements IAnnotationTransformer{
private static Map<String, Integer> priorities = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
#Test(priority = 123)
public void test123(ITestContext ctx){
System.out.println("Running: " + Thread.currentThread() +
" - " + priorities.get(new Object(){}.getClass().getEnclosingMethod().getName()));
}
#Test(priority = 321)
public void test321(ITestContext ctx){
System.out.println("Running: " + Thread.currentThread() +
" - " + priorities.get(new Object(){}.getClass().getEnclosingMethod().getName()));
}
#Override
public void transform(ITestAnnotation annotation, Class testClass,
Constructor testConstructor, Method testMethod) {
priorities.put(testMethod.getName(), annotation.getPriority());
IAnnotationTransformer.super.transform(annotation, testClass, testConstructor, testMethod);
}
}
where this is implemented in thread-safe way to support parallelism.
This new Object(){}.getClass().getEnclosingMethod().getName() is the way how to obtain current method name. See: Getting the name of the currently executing method
Disclaimer: This type of listener can only be registered inside testng.xml or as command line argument. So below is the example of testng.xml implementing proper configuration
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="Suite1" verbose="1" parallel="methods" thread-count="3">
<listeners>
<listener class-name="so.testng.NewTest"/>
</listeners>
<test name="Regression1">
<packages>
<package name="so.testng"/>
</packages>
</test>
</suite>
