How to put a horizontal line above the notes using ThreePartTable?

Question

Thanks to this post Longtable with threeparttable (but the one that I can't comment because I'm really new here) I found that I can use footnotes with longtable, if I use threeparttable package.

However, I'd like to have a line above my notes. Anyone know how to do it? (I want something like this)

Here it's an example of my code. The table 1 (longtable) is the one that have footnotes with ThreePartTable package. It hasn't line above the notes. The table 2 (with minipage environment) has line above the notes. I want a similar line in table 1.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{lipsum}  
\usepackage{booktabs,threeparttablex}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\appto\TPTnoteSettings{\footnotesize}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage[labelfont=bf,labelsep=period]{caption}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[2-3]
\begin{ThreePartTable}
\renewcommand\TPTminimum{\textwidth}
\setlength\LTleft{0pt}
\begin{TableNotes}
  \item[*] A note adsfasdf
  \item[] Another note asdfasfasd
\end{TableNotes}
\begin{longtable}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}

Thanks in advance!

Usually, there should be one automatically, if your table notes are inserted after the table (in the \endlastfoot section). Unless you want a second rule, or so I misunderstand the problem? — Bernard, Aug 26 '20 at 16:46
If you mean the last line of the table, no. It doesn't appear me one automatically. I inserted the table notes like this: \endfoot \insertTableNotes \endlastfoot — emr2, Aug 26 '20 at 16:56
Add \bottomrule before \insertTableNotes if you use booktabs, or simply\hline` if you don't ( or any rule from another package – makecell, boldline,…) — Bernard, Aug 26 '20 at 17:04
\bottomrule works but, it's too long and too near to the table. Do you know if I can put a line like if I were using minipage environment? Like this https://i.stack.imgur.com/EpYSq.png — emr2, Aug 26 '20 at 17:14
@Eva: Please provide more information about the table, preferrably in the form of a complete and compilable minimal working example (MWE). Depending on the column size, you could probably use \cmidrule{1-1} in order to get a narrower horizontal line. What to do depends a lot on the actual table. — leandriis, Aug 26 '20 at 18:37
If you want a larger vertical spacing above the rule, you can use something like \addlinespace[3ex] , for instance. If you want a rule at you convenience, you use \noalign{\rule{somelength}{some height}. Furthermore, the vertical spacing can be incorporated to the optional argument of \rule (e.g. \noalign{\rule[-3ex]{4cm}{0.4pt}}). — Bernard, Aug 26 '20 at 19:38
@Bernard It worked with your last solution! \noalign {\rule [-1.4ex]{6.7cm}{0.4pt}} problem solved! Should I write this as an answer of this post? Or do you have to write it? Thanks very much!!! — emr2, Aug 27 '20 at 10:23
You may write it if you want, I don't really have time at the moment. — Bernard, Aug 27 '20 at 10:46

Problem solved thanks to Bernard!

The way for put a horizontal line above the footnotes using ThreePartTable (and would be similar like minipage environment' footnotes) is:

\noalign {\rule [-1.4ex]{6.7cm}{0.4pt}}
