Rationale
Sometimes test use
@After
or@AfterClass
annotations against our recommendation. If a test fails and the after method also throws an exception, JUnit combines the errors into aMultipleFailureException
. This can mask the actual error, makingBaseWebDriverTest.handleFailure
unable to perform its duties (e.g. close alerts). We mostly care about the primary test failure so we can just pull that out of theMultipleFailureException
