Question

I’m working on writing unit tests for a class that I’m developing. Another developer is developing other tests for the same class for methods that he’s developing. So our tests find themselves in the same JUnit test class.

So what I wanted to do was to set up a test suite to run just my tests while I’m developing as a temporary measure. I created a Category for my tests and have marked them as such. I then created a class to be my test suite. I told it to include tests that belong to this category. When I run it, it still runs everything. There are a lot of tests, so it would be tedious to mark all the tests I don’t want ran with @Ignore. Is there a way to say, run only the tests in a category but none else?

Answer 1

You can write a wrapper test class which method calls the main test class (only your method), then run Junit tests on the wrapper class.

public class MainTestClass {
    @Test
    public void yourFirstTest() {
    ...
    }

    @Test
    public void yourSecondTest() {
    ...
    }

    @Test
    public void otherFirstTest() {
    ...
    }
}

public class WrapperTestClass {
    @Test
    public void yourFirstTest() {
       new MainTestClass().yourFirstTest();
    }

    @Test
    public void yourSecondTest() {
       new MainTestClass().yourSecondTest();
    }
}
