support junit 4.0 ----------------- Key: SUREFIRE-31 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-31 Project: surefire Type: Improvement
Reporter: John Didion Assigned to: Jason van Zyl I know this is a pretty sizable task. I just wanted to get it in the system now that 4.0 has officially been released. Hopefully this will generate some discussion about how 4.0 will be handled - mainly if it will require a completely seperate implemenation of surefire (keeping the same API so it can easily be used by the maven plugin), or if use of 4.0 will be made a configurable option of the current surefire. Here's some additional features I'd like to see: 1. Ability to categorize tests. Unfortunately, 4.0 doesn't include an @Category annotation, or make category a parameter of @Test. However, the filtering mechanism provided by 4.0 is sufficent to support categories given the presense of such an annotation. I recommend putting the @Category annotation in a seperate module (surefire-annotations?) and build support for it into surefire. Hopefully the junit guys could be convinced to incorporate it in a later version. 2. Similarly, support repeated tests via an @Repeated annotation. I'm not sure how easy this would be to do external to junit. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
