public class SpringJUnit4ClassRunner
extends org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner

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

To use this class, simply annotate a JUnit 4 based test class with @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) or @RunWith(SpringRunner.class).

The following list constitutes all annotations currently supported directly or indirectly by SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. (Note that additional annotations may be supported by various TestExecutionListener or TestContextBootstrapper implementations.)

• @Test(expected=...)
• @Test(timeout=...)
• @Timed
• @Repeat
• @Ignore
• @ProfileValueSourceConfiguration
• @IfProfileValue

If you would like to use the Spring TestContext Framework with a runner other than this one, use SpringClassRule and SpringMethodRule.

NOTE: As of Spring Framework 4.3, this class requires JUnit 4.12 or higher.

Since:

2.5

Constructor Detail

SpringJUnit4ClassRunner

public SpringJUnit4ClassRunner(Class<?> clazz)
                        throws org.junit.runners.model.InitializationError

Construct a new SpringJUnit4ClassRunner and initialize 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)

Create a new TestContextManager for the supplied test class.

Can be overridden by subclasses.

Parameters:

clazz - the test class to be managed

getTestContextManager

protected final TestContextManager getTestContextManager()

Get the TestContextManager associated with this runner.

getDescription

public org.junit.runner.Description getDescription()

Return a description suitable for an ignored test class if the test is disabled via @IfProfileValue at the class-level, and otherwise delegate to the parent implementation.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface org.junit.runner.Describable

Overrides:

getDescription in class org.junit.runners.ParentRunner<org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod>

See Also:

ProfileValueUtils.isTestEnabledInThisEnvironment(Class)

run

public void run(org.junit.runner.notification.RunNotifier notifier)

Check whether the test is enabled in the current execution environment.

This prevents classes with a non-matching @IfProfileValue annotation from running altogether, even skipping the execution of prepareTestInstance() methods in TestExecutionListeners.

Overrides:

run in class org.junit.runners.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)

Wrap the Statement returned by the parent implementation with a RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks statement, thus preserving the default JUnit functionality while adding support for the Spring TestContext Framework.

Overrides:

withBeforeClasses in class org.junit.runners.ParentRunner<org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod>

See Also:

RunBeforeTestClassCallbacks

withAfterClasses

protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement withAfterClasses(org.junit.runners.model.Statement statement)

Wrap the Statement returned by the parent implementation with a RunAfterTestClassCallbacks statement, thus preserving the default JUnit functionality while adding support for the Spring TestContext Framework.

Overrides:

withAfterClasses in class org.junit.runners.ParentRunner<org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod>

See Also:

RunAfterTestClassCallbacks

createTest

protected Object createTest()
                     throws Exception

Delegate to the parent implementation for creating the test instance and then allow the TestContextManager to prepare the test instance before returning it.

Overrides:

createTest in class org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner

Throws:

Exception

See Also:

TestContextManager.prepareTestInstance(java.lang.Object)

runChild

protected void runChild(org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod frameworkMethod,
                        org.junit.runner.notification.RunNotifier notifier)

Perform the same logic as BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(FrameworkMethod, RunNotifier), except that tests are determined to be ignored by isTestMethodIgnored(FrameworkMethod).

Overrides:

runChild in class org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner

methodBlock

protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement methodBlock(org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod frameworkMethod)

Augment 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 net 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. However, 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:
