maven-idea-plugin generates projects that do not work properly with JUnit 4.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2950
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2950
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
Affects Versions: 2.0.6
Environment: Windows XP Pro,
maven-idea-plugin V 2.1-SNAPSHOT
Reporter: Kevan Dunsmore
Priority: Critical
Attachments: testbug.zip
Generating a project using the maven-idea-plugin results in project files that
cause Idea to be unable to execute Junit 4 tests where the test classes are
POJOs in a hierarchy.
For example, if I have the following JUnit 4 test classes, Idea does not
recognize the valid test hierarchy:
public abstract class BaseTest {
@Test
public void foo() {
// Test code here.
}
}
public class MySpecializedTest extends BaseTest { }
1. Right clicking on MySpecializedTest does not show the "Run
MySpecializedTest" test context menu option.
2. Executing all tests in the package returns an error stating that no test
classes could be found.
If you change MySpecializedTest to this:
public class MySpecializedTest extends BaseTest {
@Test
public void bar() {
// Specialized test code
}
}
Then Idea finds the MySpecializedTest.bar() test and executes it but does not
execute the inherited foo() test case.
This problem is caused by the inclusion of the following element in the ipr
file:
<component name="JUnitProjectSettings">
<option name="TEST_RUNNER" value="UI" />
</component>
After I manually removed the element (actually commented it out) and restarted
Idea, it was able to detect the correct number of tests in the test class
hierarchy.
Please find attached to this issue a zip file containing a project illustrating
this bug. I have modified the .ipr file to comment-out the problem element
shown above. As such, the project is configured such that Idea will correctly
identify the JUnit tests. To view the bug behavior, open the .ipr file and
uncomment the element (it's the first one in the file under the root "project"
element).
