Re: [junit] how to skip a test at runtime

[Jochen Hiller]

Hi Vietchau,

I've just released JUnitExt 0.2.1, which supports your enhancement request. You can now implement prerequisite callbacks also with signatures using a test description, or the className and methodName of the current test method, or a void method.

See www.junitext.org for latest information.

If you are interested about news, subscribe to "junitext-dev" at Google Groups. Bugs and enhancement requests should be posted to project home page too. See http://code.google.com/p/junitext for more information.

Much fun, Jochen

Hi Jochen,

I have added the issue to JUnitExt as you suggested for future
references... but there is no place for me to flag this as a "request"
instead of "defect"... I think there should be an option on the New
Issue page for different option (ie priority, type).

Thanks,

Vietchau

Hi Vietchau,

JUnitExt does only support prerequisite methods with signature
public boolean aPrereqMethod ()

Actually there is no support to forward the test name into this method.
If
this would make sense for you, could you please add an issue to
JUnitExt?
Please use issue tracking at
http://code.google.com/p/junitext/issues/list.

Meanwhile: David mentioned some options, writing your own startup and/or
runner, filter. From what I understand, a Filter may be appropriate for
your
requirement.

Bye, Jochen

Hi Vietchau,

 

see junitext-0.2.1/src/test/org/junitext/samples/SimpleTest.java:

 

--- snip here ---

package org.junitext.samples;

 

@RunWith(AnnotationRunner.class)
public class SimpleTest {

 

  @Prerequisite(requires = "doSomeTest")
  @Test
  public void testSome1() {
    assertEquals(42, 42);
  }

 

  @Prerequisite(requires = "doSomeTest")
  @Test
  public void testSome2() {
   assertEquals(42, 12);
  }

 

 /**
  * Callback with signature boolean doSomeTest(String className, String
  * methodName). Will be searched second.
  */
 public static boolean doSomeTest(String className, String testName) {
  return "testSome1".equals(testName);
 }

}

--- snip here ---

 

So: the required signature is

  public boolean aPrereqMethod (String className, String testName);

The @Prerequisite does not have to be changed: The prerequisite handler will lookup for all kinds of methods supported, according to specified ordering.

 

So, back to your request: Just change signature to have two additional parameters: className, methodName. Thats it.

 

Here, only testSome1() will executed, not testSome1().

 

I thought it should be documented in Tutorial. Needs probably more examples to clarify...

 

Bye, Jochen

Betreff: RE: [junit] how to skip a test at runtime

Hi Jochen,

 

Thank you for such a quick response to my enhancement request. I have downloaded JUnitExt 0.2.1 but I couldn’t figure out how to use the new feature. I saw in the changeLog:

- Additional support for Prerequisite signatures

        - will first try to call "public void isXxx (Description desc)"

        - then try to call "public void isXxx(String className, String methodName)"

        - and finally fallback to "public void isXxx()"

        - see Bugfix: http://code.google.com/p/junitext/issues/detail?id=3

 

But there is no sample or tutorial on how to use this new feature. I tried to look at the .jar file but I couldn’t figure out either.

 

So, the method now should be void, instead of return a Boolean? Then how can the runner decide whether to run the test or not? Am I missing something?

 

For example, my check method is:

 

Public void runCurrentTest(String className, String methodName);

 

Then how can I call in @Prerequisite?

 

I use:

 

@Prerequisite(requires="runCurrentTest('myClassName', 'myMethodName')")

 

But it gives me an internal error when checking Prerequisite.

 

For my class, I use with:

 

@RunWith(AnnotationRunner.class)

 

I notice that the overview page mention that I should use org.junit.runner.manipulation.Filter, how do I set my program to use this, because when I use

 

@RunWith(org.junit.runner.manipulation.Filter.class)

 

the compiler complains that the class is incompatible.

 

Thank you for your help,

Vietchau
