Make latch registration and removal atomic.
removeBeforeGroups can observe no latch and return before retrieve inserts one. A later retrieval then waits on the new one-count latch forever because no code counts it down.
Use an atomic registration protocol, such as putIfAbsent with a terminal zero-count latch. Do not hold beforeGroups while waiting on a latch.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Mark data-provider state nullable across the API. TestNGMethod.dataProviderMethod and the inherited DataProviderMethod state can be absent or cleared to null. Add @Nullable to the fields, accessors, and corresponding interface declarations, including TestNGMethod.getDataProviderMethod(), ITestNGMethod.getDataProviderMethod(), DataProviderMethod.getInstance(), and DataProviderMethod.getMethod(), or avoid clearing these values with null.

Utils carries eight @nullable annotations from javax.annotation, which spotbugs provides. The class is published API, and spotbugs is a compileOnly dependency: the annotations are dropped from the artifact, so no consumer and no consumer's checker can read the contract they state. JSpecify is declared as a regular api dependency for exactly that reason, which testng.java-library.gradle.kts records. NullAway matches either annotation by simple name, so nothing changes for the check itself.
MethodSelectorDescriptor and TestResult annotate their compareTo parameter with javax.annotation.@nonnull. Comparable.compareTo is unannotated in the JDK, so the annotation constrains nothing a caller can act on, and spotbugs is a compileOnly dependency here: it never reaches the published artifact. The build runs no spotbugs analysis either -- only the annotation jar is on the classpath. Once the package is null-marked non-null becomes the default, so converting these to jspecify @nonnull would restate the default rather than add information. They are removed instead. TestResult held the only javax.annotation reference in testng-runner-api, so that module's spotbugs dependency goes with it. testng-core and testng-core-api keep theirs: four files outside this package still use javax.annotation.
Prepares org.testng.internal for @NullMarked by writing down, in the signatures, the contracts the bodies already implement. The package-info that turns the check on lands in the follow-up, so nothing here changes what the build verifies -- NullAway stays inert for this package. What the annotations record, with the caller that proves each one: - ConstructorOrMethod.getMethod()/getConstructor() answer null by design; the wrapper holds either a method or a constructor. A new requireMethod() gives the sixteen call sites that only ever see a test or configuration method a non-null accessor, so they stop restating an invariant the wrapper knows. It throws NullPointerException, the same failure those sites already produced from the dereference that followed, now with a message. - IParameterInfo.getInstance() is null for a lazy implementation whose construction failed: LazyParameterInfo memoizes the failure instead of rethrowing it, and getInstantiationFailure() reports it. - ITestResult.getMethod() is already read through Optional.ofNullable in ITestResult itself; TestResult carries no method when built by newTestResult(Object[], int) to hold parameters only. - Configuration's five optional collaborators are null until TestNG configures them, and every caller tests for it -- SuiteRunner checks getObjectFactory() == null, TestRunner checks getListenerFactory() != null. No default is invented for them: one would make those branches dead. Setters follow their getters so a Kotlin consumer keeps a mutable property rather than a read-only one, as XMLReporterConfig.setOutputDirectory did. Behaviour-neutral restructurings that remove the need for an annotation: - Configuration chains its constructors instead of sharing an init() helper. - PackageUtils builds the classpath cache locally and publishes it once; the old code stored the array before filling it, so a concurrent reader could observe null elements. The field is volatile to finish that. - TestResult reads the resolved method through one local, and asserts it in an accessor rather than at each of the seven members that use it. - BaseTestMethod initialises m_retryAnalyzerClass to DisabledRetryAnalyzer, which is what its setter already normalised null to. - ConfigurationGroupMethods answers an absent group with an empty list, which is what it already answered when the group was being tracked. - A null test written through a boolean local is inlined where the checker needs it, in TestInvoker and ConfigInvoker. TestInvoker no longer tests getTestClass() for null before invoking: the accessor now raises that diagnostic itself, with the same message.
Under a null-marked package the old shape was self-contradictory: the signature declared a non-null parameter while the body's first act was to answer null with null, so the nullable return was reachable only through an argument the type said could not occur. A probe confirmed it: with both parameters declared non-null, no call site in the tree reports passing a nullable value. The fourteen in-tree callers pass suite names, test names, class names, stack traces and literals. This follows the same reading as XMLUtils.escape, which lost its null branch for the same reason, and leaves the two methods with the contract their bodies already implement. BREAKING CHANGE: Utils.escapeHtml(String) and Utils.escapeUnicode(String) throw NullPointerException for a null input where they used to return null, and their return types are no longer nullable. A Kotlin caller passing a String? no longer compiles. Recorded in CHANGES.txt.
Review follow-up. The previous commit annotated the fields but left the accessors that return them declared non-null, so the two halves contradicted each other: - ClassImpl.getTestName and getInstanceHashCodes, ClonedMethod.getId, LazyParameterInfo.getInstance and getInstantiationFailure, NoOpTestClass.getInstanceHashCodes, getInstances and getXmlClass, TestNGClassFinder.getFactoryCreationFailedMessage, Graph.getStrictlySortedNodes, MethodInheritance.findSubClass, DynamicGraph.Edges.to and findReversedEdge, TestNGMethod.getDataProviderMethod and the two DataProviderMethod members its subclass can clear. Two null dereferences the annotations made visible: - Graph.getPredecessors dereferenced findNode, which answers null for a node that was never registered. It now raises the same explicit TestNGException addPredecessor already raises for that case. - TestMethodContainer.clearItems called Arrays.fill on the cached array before getItems had populated it, so clearing an untouched container threw. Tarjan.m_cycle is initialised to an empty list rather than annotated: a run that finds no cycle has no cycle to report, and Graph iterates the result without testing it. ITestNGMethod.getDataProviderMethod already documents the null but is not annotated -- it belongs to org.testng, which is not marked yet.
… exposed Review follow-up, second round. Four contradictions between a nullable value and the code that consumed it: - DynamicGraph.dependencies answers null with an empty list through Optional.ofNullable, and both of its callers hand it the nullable result of Edges.from or Edges.to, so its parameter is nullable too. - Graph.topologicalSort assigned m_strictlySortedNodes and then read the field again to fill it and to dump it, across calls that invalidate what is known about a field. The list is now held in a local and handed to dumpSortedNodes. - NoOpTestClass.getName dereferenced m_testClass, which the protected constructor leaves unset, while getRealClass returned it as non-null. Both go through getRealClass, which rejects the unset case explicitly. The whole suite passes, so no path reaches it: the only subclass assigns the class from its own constructor, and the other constructor takes it from the ITestClass. - NoOpTestClass.getObjects, getInstances and getInstanceHashCodes returned the fields the protected constructor set to null. They are empty arrays now, which is what "no instances" means; TestClass, the only subclass, overrides every reader of them, so nothing observable changes and four annotations go away.
The keyword arrived with the publish-once rewrite and reads as bookkeeping. It is the part that makes the rewrite work: the field is written without a lock and read from every package scan, so an unsafe publication lets a reader observe the reference before the element writes that filled it. The result is not a crash but a scan that silently returns fewer classes.

Widening thirty members of org.testng closed the thirty-one override
diagnostics the mark reports and opened a hundred and twenty-two downstream, in
packages that were marked and green two batches ago. Almost all of them are one
sentence: ITestResult.getMethod() and ITestNGMethod.getTestClass() are read
without being tested, forty-five times between them.
Three assertions in org.testng.internal.Utils carry that answer once instead of
forty-five times -- requireMethodOf, requireTestClassOf and requireTestContextOf,
each documenting why the absence cannot be observed where it is used. A result
that reaches a reporter has been through the invoker, which binds it to its
method; the parameter carrier the invoker starts from is replaced before any
listener sees it. Every reporter reads through them now, and the thing that used
to raise a bare NullPointerException somewhere further in is named at the edge.
Six more published members had to widen, each one measured rather than chosen:
IMethodInstance.getInstance forced by ITestNGMethod.getInstance
IAnnotationTransformer.transform testClass/testConstructor/testMethod, on the
two overloads whose own javadoc already said
"only one of the three will be non-null"
IConfigurationListener tm, on the four listener callbacks; the
invoker has declared it nullable since #3393
Reporter.setCurrentTestResult called with null to clear the thread's result
TestNGException(String) concatenates, so it never dereferenced
JDK15AnnotationFinder asserts on the other side where it can: a @dataProvider is
read off a method and a @listeners off a class by construction, so the finder
names that rather than widening two more published signatures. A @factory is not
in that set -- it can sit on a constructor, and the transform has been handed
null there all along -- so that one widens too.
MethodInstance.SORT_BY_INDEX no longer raises a NullPointerException when a
method a @factory produced carries no <test> tag; it reads the same way the
neighbouring branch already reads a missing <class>, and answers that the two
cannot be compared.
Still inert: org.testng is not marked yet, so this commit moves no diagnostic of
its own either.

#3393 and #3396 merged, so their branches are gone and this one now sits on master. The five commits master gained after them bring a parameter snapshot mechanism, and two of its sites read ITestResult.getMethod() -- which this batch declares @nullable. ParameterSnapshots.record and TextReporter.reportedParametersOf both go through Utils.requireMethodOf, the assertion the rest of the reporters already use. TextReporter's own conflict resolved the other way: upstream replaced the (parameters, parameterTypes) pair with a snapshot lookup, which removes the very call this branch had rewritten, so the snapshot wins and only the method binding survives.

Preparation for declaring
org.testng.internal@NullMarked. It writes the nullness contracts into the signatures and restructures what can be restructured, but does not add thepackage-info.java— the mark lands in the follow-up that stacks on this branch.Why the mark is not here
With the package marked, the four modules report 134 remaining NullAway diagnostics. Bundling the mark with them would produce one unreviewable commit; sending the mark alone would produce a red CI. So this PR is the half that stands on its own, and the follow-up is the half that needs the check on to be judged.
Nothing here changes what the build verifies: NullAway stays inert for
org.testng.internaluntil apackage-info.javaopts in, so every annotation below is documentation until the next PR turns it into an assertion.Counters
javax.annotation→org.jspecifyUtils)@NonnulloncompareToremovedtestng-runner-apispotbugs dependency they were the last use of)@NullableaddedrequireNonNulladded!commitRipple into packages that are already marked
org.testng.internal.invokers(already@NullMarked) reads these types, so widening a parameter or a return there had to be answered in the same pass:ParameterHandler.objectFactory,ParameterHolder.dataProviderHolder,ConfigInvoker.computeConfigurableInstance,TestListenerHelper.runPre/PostConfigurationListeners,MethodInvocationHelper.invokeConfigurable. All five are in this PR and the four modules compile clean atCheckSeverity.ERROR.Annotations that were not simply asserted
Each of these was decided against a caller, not an intuition:
ITestResult.getMethod()—ITestResultitself already reads it throughOptional.ofNullable(ITestResult.java:93), so the null is a contract the published API assumes.TestResultcarries no method when built bynewTestResult(Object[], int)to hold parameters only; the seven members that need one read it through a private accessor that asserts, rather than each asserting separately.Configuration's five optional collaborators — no default is invented for them even thoughDefaultTestObjectFactoryexists, becauseSuiteRunner:124testsgetObjectFactory() == nullandTestRunner:382testsgetListenerFactory() != null. A default would make both branches dead.ITestNGMethod.getTestClass()— kept nullable. An assertion here looked safe and is not::testng-jcommander:testfails withCOULDN'T FIND TESTCLASS FOR test.listeners.ListenerWiringCommandLineTest.TestInvoker's existing null test is live and stays.BaseTestMethod.m_retryAnalyzerClass— the opposite call: its setter already normalised null toDisabledRetryAnalyzer.class, so the field is initialised to it instead. Three annotations and four nullable dereferences disappear.ConstructorOrMethod.requireMethod()is new: sixteen call sites only ever hold a test or a configuration method and had no reason to restate it. It throwsNullPointerException, which is what those sites already produced from the dereference that followed — with a message this time.Fixes that came out of the pass
PackageUtilspublished the classpath array before filling it, so a concurrent reader could observe null elements. It is now built locally and published once, through avolatilefield.ConfigurationGroupMethodsdereferenced two map lookups that can miss.YamlSchemaanswered an alias pointing at an unknown key with the user-facing "unknown key" error; that is a bug in TestNG's own alias table, and it now says so.Verification
The four modules also compile clean under a forced run of the guard set at the real severity:
