public class BlockJUnit4ClassRunner
extends ParentRunner<FrameworkMethod>

Implements the JUnit 4 standard test case class model, as defined by the annotations in the org.junit package. Many users will never notice this class: it is now the default test class runner, but it should have exactly the same behavior as the old test class runner (JUnit4ClassRunner). BlockJUnit4ClassRunner has advantages for writers of custom JUnit runners that are slight changes to the default behavior, however:

Constructor Detail

BlockJUnit4ClassRunner

public BlockJUnit4ClassRunner(Class<?> klass)
                       throws InitializationError
Creates a BlockJUnit4ClassRunner to run klass

Throws:
InitializationError - if the test class is malformed.
Method Detail

runChild

protected void runChild(FrameworkMethod method,
                        RunNotifier notifier)
Description copied from class: ParentRunner
Runs the test corresponding to child, which can be assumed to be an element of the list returned by ParentRunner.getChildren(). Subclasses are responsible for making sure that relevant test events are reported through notifier

Specified by:
runChild in class ParentRunner<FrameworkMethod>

describeChild

protected Description describeChild(FrameworkMethod method)
Description copied from class: ParentRunner
Returns a Description for child, which can be assumed to be an element of the list returned by ParentRunner.getChildren()

Specified by:
describeChild in class ParentRunner<FrameworkMethod>

getChildren

protected List<FrameworkMethod> getChildren()
Description copied from class: ParentRunner
Returns a list of objects that define the children of this Runner.

Specified by:
getChildren in class ParentRunner<FrameworkMethod>

computeTestMethods

protected List<FrameworkMethod> computeTestMethods()
Returns the methods that run tests. Default implementation returns all methods annotated with @Test on this class and superclasses that are not overridden.


collectInitializationErrors

protected void collectInitializationErrors(List<Throwable> errors)
Description copied from class: ParentRunner
Adds to errors a throwable for each problem noted with the test class (available from ParentRunner.getTestClass()). Default implementation adds an error for each method annotated with @BeforeClass or @AfterClass that is not public static void with no arguments.

Overrides:
collectInitializationErrors in class ParentRunner<FrameworkMethod>

validateConstructor

protected void validateConstructor(List<Throwable> errors)
Adds to errors if the test class has more than one constructor, or if the constructor takes parameters. Override if a subclass requires different validation rules.


validateOnlyOneConstructor

protected void validateOnlyOneConstructor(List<Throwable> errors)
Adds to errors if the test class has more than one constructor (do not override)


validateZeroArgConstructor

protected void validateZeroArgConstructor(List<Throwable> errors)
Adds to errors if the test class's single constructor takes parameters (do not override)


validateInstanceMethods

@Deprecated
protected void validateInstanceMethods(List<Throwable> errors)
Deprecated. unused API, will go away in future version

Adds to errors for each method annotated with @Test, @Before, or @After that is not a public, void instance method with no arguments.


validateTestMethods

protected void validateTestMethods(List<Throwable> errors)
Adds to errors for each method annotated with @Testthat is not a public, void instance method with no arguments.


createTest

protected Object createTest()
                     throws Exception
Returns a new fixture for running a test. Default implementation executes the test class's no-argument constructor (validation should have ensured one exists).

Throws:
Exception

testName

protected String testName(FrameworkMethod method)
Returns the name that describes method for Descriptions. Default implementation is the method's name


methodBlock

protected Statement methodBlock(FrameworkMethod method)
Returns a Statement that, when executed, either returns normally if method passes, or throws an exception if method fails. Here is an outline of the default implementation: This can be overridden in subclasses, either by overriding this method, or the implementations creating each sub-statement.


methodInvoker

protected Statement methodInvoker(FrameworkMethod method,
                                  Object test)
Returns a Statement that invokes method on test


possiblyExpectingExceptions

@Deprecated
protected Statement possiblyExpectingExceptions(FrameworkMethod method,
                                                           Object test,
                                                           Statement next)
Deprecated. Will be private soon: use Rules instead

Returns a Statement: if method's @Test annotation has the expecting attribute, return normally only if next throws an exception of the correct type, and throw an exception otherwise.


withPotentialTimeout

@Deprecated
protected Statement withPotentialTimeout(FrameworkMethod method,
                                                    Object test,
                                                    Statement next)
Deprecated. Will be private soon: use Rules instead

Returns a Statement: if method's @Test annotation has the timeout attribute, throw an exception if next takes more than the specified number of milliseconds.


withBefores

@Deprecated
protected Statement withBefores(FrameworkMethod method,
                                           Object target,
                                           Statement statement)
Deprecated. Will be private soon: use Rules instead

Returns a Statement: run all non-overridden @Before methods on this class and superclasses before running next; if any throws an Exception, stop execution and pass the exception on.


withAfters

@Deprecated
protected Statement withAfters(FrameworkMethod method,
                                          Object target,
                                          Statement statement)
Deprecated. Will be private soon: use Rules instead

Returns a Statement: run all non-overridden @After methods on this class and superclasses before running next; all After methods are always executed: exceptions thrown by previous steps are combined, if necessary, with exceptions from After methods into a MultipleFailureException.


rules

protected List<MethodRule> rules(Object test)
Returns:
the MethodRules that can transform the block that runs each method in the tested class.
