public class SpringJUnit4ClassRunner
extends BlockJUnit4ClassRunner

SpringJUnit4ClassRunner is a custom extension of BlockJUnit4ClassRunner which provides functionality of the Spring TestContext Framework to standard JUnit 4.5+ tests by means of the TestContextManager and associated support classes and annotations.

The following list constitutes all annotations currently supported directly by SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. (Note that additional annotations may be supported by various TestExecutionListeners)

NOTE: As of Spring 3.0, SpringJUnit4ClassRunner requires JUnit 4.5+.

Since:
2.5

Constructor Detail

SpringJUnit4ClassRunner

public SpringJUnit4ClassRunner(Class<?> clazz)
                        throws org.junit.runners.model.InitializationError
Constructs a new SpringJUnit4ClassRunner and initializes a TestContextManager to provide Spring testing functionality to standard JUnit tests.

Parameters:
clazz - the test class to be run
Throws:
org.junit.runners.model.InitializationError
See Also:
createTestContextManager(Class)
Method Detail

createTestContextManager

protected TestContextManager createTestContextManager(Class<?> clazz)
Creates a new TestContextManager for the supplied test class and the configured default ContextLoader class name. Can be overridden by subclasses.

Parameters:
clazz - the test class to be managed
See Also:
getDefaultContextLoaderClassName(Class)

getTestContextManager

protected final TestContextManager getTestContextManager()
Get the TestContextManager associated with this runner.


getDefaultContextLoaderClassName

protected String getDefaultContextLoaderClassName(Class<?> clazz)
Get the name of the default ContextLoader class to use for the supplied test class. The named class will be used if the test class does not explicitly declare a ContextLoader class via the @ContextConfiguration annotation.

The default implementation returns null, thus implying use of the standard default ContextLoader class name. Can be overridden by subclasses.

Parameters:
clazz - the test class
Returns:
null

getDescription

public Description getDescription()
Returns a description suitable for an ignored test class if the test is disabled via @IfProfileValue at the class-level, and otherwise delegates to the parent implementation.

Specified by:
getDescription in interface Describable
Overrides:
getDescription in class ParentRunner<org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod>
See Also:
ProfileValueUtils.isTestEnabledInThisEnvironment(Class)

run

public void run(RunNotifier notifier)
Check whether the test is enabled in the first place. This prevents classes with a non-matching @IfProfileValue annotation from running altogether, even skipping the execution of prepareTestInstance() TestExecutionListener methods.

Overrides:
run in class ParentRunner<org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod>
See Also:
ProfileValueUtils.isTestEnabledInThisEnvironment(Class), IfProfileValue, TestExecutionListener

withBeforeClasses

protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement withBeforeClasses(org.junit.runners.model.Statement statement)
Wraps the Statement returned by the parent implementation with a RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks statement, thus preserving the default functionality but adding support for the Spring TestContext Framework.

Overrides:
withBeforeClasses in class ParentRunner<org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod>
See Also:
RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks

withAfterClasses

protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement withAfterClasses(org.junit.runners.model.Statement statement)
Wraps the Statement returned by the parent implementation with a RunAfterTestClassCallbacks statement, thus preserving the default functionality but adding support for the Spring TestContext Framework.

Overrides:
withAfterClasses in class ParentRunner<org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod>
See Also:
RunAfterTestClassCallbacks

createTest

protected Object createTest()
                     throws Exception
Delegates to the parent implementation for creating the test instance and then allows the TestContextManager to prepare the test instance before returning it.

Overrides:
createTest in class BlockJUnit4ClassRunner
Throws:
Exception
See Also:
TestContextManager.prepareTestInstance(Object)

runChild

protected void runChild(org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod frameworkMethod,
                        RunNotifier notifier)
Performs the same logic as BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(FrameworkMethod, RunNotifier), except that tests are determined to be ignored by isTestMethodIgnored(FrameworkMethod).

Overrides:
runChild in class BlockJUnit4ClassRunner

methodBlock

protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement methodBlock(org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod frameworkMethod)
Augments the default JUnit behavior with potential repeats of the entire execution chain.

Furthermore, support for timeouts has been moved down the execution chain in order to include execution of @Before and @After methods within the timed execution. Note that this differs from the default JUnit behavior of executing @Before and @After methods in the main thread while executing the actual test method in a separate thread. Thus, the end effect is that @Before and @After methods will be executed in the same thread as the test method. As a consequence, JUnit-specified timeouts will work fine in combination with Spring transactions. Note that JUnit-specific timeouts still differ from Spring-specific timeouts in that the former execute in a separate thread while the latter simply execute in the main thread (like regular tests).

Overrides:
methodBlock in class BlockJUnit4ClassRunner
See Also:
possiblyExpectingExceptions(FrameworkMethod, Object, Statement), withBefores(FrameworkMethod, Object, Statement), withAfters(FrameworkMethod, Object, Statement), withPotentialTimeout(FrameworkMethod, Object, Statement), withPotentialRepeat(FrameworkMethod, Object, Statement)

isTestMethodIgnored

protected boolean isTestMethodIgnored(org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod frameworkMethod)
Returns true if @Ignore is present for the supplied test method or if the test method is disabled via @IfProfileValue.

See Also:
ProfileValueUtils.isTestEnabledInThisEnvironment(Method, Class)

possiblyExpectingExceptions

Performs the same logic as BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.possiblyExpectingExceptions(FrameworkMethod, Object, Statement) except that the expected exception is retrieved using getExpectedException(FrameworkMethod).

Overrides:
