I have a class that extends JUnitStories and specifies two methods that use the JUnit specific annotations @BeforeClass @AfterClass. Inside of these methods I do some initialization for my test scenarios, like propping up a test server. So the BeforeClass method starts the server and the AfterClass method shuts down the server.
When I run the class that extends JUnitStories as a JUnit test, it executes the methods annotated with the beforeclass and afterclass just as you might expect. All scenarios execute and succeed when running in this manner. Now, when I run using maven (command line) and the jbehave-maven-plugin, the JUnit (not really surprising) specific annotations are not executed and therefore my server startup and shutdown logic is bypassed which prevents my scenarios from executing. How can I run the JBehave scenarios from the command line using Maven such that my JUnit (or JBehave specific) annotated methods get executed? I have tried using JBehave specific annotations like @BeforeStories, @AfterStories,@BeforeTest, and @AfterTest (as well) in my class that extends JUnitStories, but none of the methods with these annotations ever get executed, either when running in Eclipse (as JUnit), nor Maven. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. J.D.
