I read about Structuring Unit Tests with having a test class per class and an inner class per method. Figured that seemed like a handy way to organize the tests, so I tried it in our Java project. However, the tests in the inner classes doesn't seem to be picked up at all.
I did it roughly like this:
public class DogTests
{
public class BarkTests
{
@Test
public void quietBark_IsAtLeastAudible() { }
@Test
public void loudBark_ScaresAveragePerson() { }
}
public class EatTests
{
@Test
public void normalFood_IsEaten() { }
@Test
public void badFood_ThrowsFit() { }
}
}
Does JUnit not support this, or am I just doing it wrong?
public class ServicesTest extends TestBase {
public static class TestLogon{
@Test
public void testLogonRequest() throws Exception {
//My Test Code
}
}
}
Making the inner class static works for me.
You should annontate your class with @RunWith(Enclosed.class)
, and like others said, declare the inner classes as static:
@RunWith(Enclosed.class)
public class DogTests
{
public static class BarkTests
{
@Test
public void quietBark_IsAtLeastAudible() { }
@Test
public void loudBark_ScaresAveragePerson() { }
}
public static class EatTests
{
@Test
public void normalFood_IsEaten() { }
@Test
public void badFood_ThrowsFit() { }
}
}
I think some of the answers might be for older versions of JUnit. In JUnit 4 this worked for me :
@RunWith(DogTests.class)
@SuiteClasses({ DogTests.BarkTests.class, DogTests.EatTests.class })
public class DogTests extends Suite
{
public DogTests(Class<?> klass, RunnerBuilder builder) throws InitializationError {
super(klass, builder);
}
public static class BarkTests
{
@Test
public void quietBark_IsAtLeastAudible() { }
@Test
public void loudBark_ScaresAveragePerson() { }
}
public static class EatTests
{
@Test
public void normalFood_IsEaten() { }
@Test
public void badFood_ThrowsFit() { }
}
}
I've had success with Nitor Creation's Nested Runner as well.
How to use Nitor Creation's Nested Runner
There is a post explaining it here:
Add this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.nitorcreations</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-runners</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
And a @RunWith
to your test:
import com.nitorcreations.junit.runners.NestedRunner
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
@RunWith(NestedRunner.class)
public class RepositoryUserServiceTest {
public class RegisterNewUserAccount {
public class WhenUserUsesSocialSignIn {
public class WhenUserAccountIsFoundWithEmailAddress {
@Test
public void shouldThrowException() {
assertTrue(true);
}
}
}
}
}
PS: The example code has been taken and modified from the above blog post
In JUnit 5, you simply mark non-static inner classes as @Nested
:
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Nested;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
public class DogTests {
@Nested
public class BarkTests {
@Test
public void quietBark_IsAtLeastAudible() { }
@Test
public void loudBark_ScaresAveragePerson() { }
}
@Nested
public class EatTests {
@Test
public void normalFood_IsEaten() { }
@Test
public void badFood_ThrowsFit() { }
}
}
