## org.junit.runner.notification
Class RunListener

    java.lang.Object
      org.junit.runner.notification.RunListener

    public class RunListener

extends java.lang.Object

If you need to respond to the events during a test run, extend `RunListener` and override the appropriate methods. If a listener throws an exception while processing a test event, it will be removed for the remainder of the test run.

For example, suppose you have a `Cowbell` class that you want to make a noise whenever a test fails. You could write:

     public class RingingListener extends RunListener {
        public void testFailure(Failure failure) {
           Cowbell.ring();
        }
     }

To invoke your listener, you need to run your tests through `JUnitCore`.

     public void main(String... args) {
        JUnitCore core= new JUnitCore();
        core.addListener(new RingingListener());
        core.run(MyTestClass.class);
     }

Constructor Summary
`RunListener()`

Method Summary
`void` | `testAssumptionFailure(Failure failure)` Called when an atomic test flags that it assumes a condition that is false
`void` | `testFailure(Failure failure)` Called when an atomic test fails.
`void` | `testFinished(Description description)` Called when an atomic test has finished, whether the test succeeds or fails.
`void` | `testIgnored(Description description)` Called when a test will not be run, generally because a test method is annotated with `Ignore`.
`void` | `testRunFinished(Result result)` Called when all tests have finished
`void` | `testRunStarted(Description description)` Called before any tests have been run.
`void` | `testStarted(Description description)` Called when an atomic test is about to be started.
