Hey all, I encountered a project using the @Nested annotation for test classes;
class ProjectTests {
@Nested
class HappyPath {
@Test
void test_this_happy() {
System.out.println(“Happiness);
}
}
@Nested
class SadPath {
@Test
void test_this_sad() {
System.out.println(“Sadness);
}
}
}
I was attempting to debug one of the nested tests and noted that nothing is
executed. I have the surefire config;
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude/>
</excludes>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
<version>${junit.jupiter.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
NetBeans is executing;
mvn
-Dtest=com.cerner.ukdev.mars.dataaccess.ProjectTests#test_this_happy
-Pdevelopment process-test-classes surefire:test
This means the test is not found. On the command line I can run;
mvn
-Dtest=com.cerner.ukdev.mars.dataaccess.ProjectTests\$HappyPath#test_this_happy
-Pdevelopment process-test-classes surefire:test
I saw this PR[1] from some time ago but it looks to have been abandoned. Was
there any other work on this or should I have a look at getting this working?
From a surefire pov it looks to simply be a case of class scanning for the
nested annotation and ensuring the inner class is inserted into the command?
Thoughts welcome.
