Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-1782:
--------------------------------------
Jeff,
Sorry for getting late on this.
I would recommend we remove all the references to JUnit3Suite as it is 1) no
longer the latest version and 2) is confusing to people for "expected" usage.
And we will also remove other annotations other than "@Test" itself but use
scalatest features instead.

> This is found while I was working on KAFKA-1580: in many of our cases where
> we explicitly extend from junit3suite (e.g. ProducerFailureHandlingTest), we
> are actually misusing a bunch of features that only exist in Junit4, such as
> (expected=classOf). For example, the following code
> {code}
> import org.scalatest.junit.JUnit3Suite
> import org.junit.Test
> import java.io.IOException
> class MiscTest extends JUnit3Suite {
> @Test (expected = classOf[IOException])
> def testSendOffset() {
> }
> }
> {code}
> will actually pass even though IOException was not thrown since this
> annotation is not supported in Junit3. Whereas
> {code}
> import org.junit._
> import java.io.IOException
> class MiscTest extends JUnit3Suite {
> @Test (expected = classOf[IOException])
> def testSendOffset() {
> }
> }
> {code}
> or
> {code}
> import org.scalatest.junit.JUnitSuite
> import org.junit._
> import java.io.IOException
> class MiscTest extends JUnit3Suite {
> @Test (expected = classOf[IOException])
> def testSendOffset() {
> }
> }
> {code}
> or
> {code}
> import org.junit._
> import java.io.IOException
> class MiscTest {
> @Test (expected = classOf[IOException])
> def testSendOffset() {
> }
> }
> {code}
> will fail.
> I would propose to not rely on Junit annotations other than @Test itself but
> use scala unit test annotations instead, for example:
> {code}
> import org.junit._
> import java.io.IOException
> class MiscTest {
> @Test
> def testSendOffset() {
> intercept[IOException] {
> //nothing
> }
> }
> }
> {code}
> will fail with a clearer stacktrace.
