1. Overview
The goal of this document is to provide comprehensive reference documentation for programmers writing tests, extension authors, and engine authors as well as build tool and IDE vendors.
This document is also available as a PDF download.
1.1. What is JUnit 5?
Unlike previous versions of JUnit, JUnit 5 is composed of several different modules from three different sub-projects.
JUnit 5 = JUnit Platform + JUnit Jupiter + JUnit Vintage
The JUnit Platform serves as a foundation for launching testing
frameworks on the JVM. It also defines the TestEngine
API for developing a testing
framework that runs on the platform. Furthermore, the platform provides a
Console Launcher to launch the platform from the
command line and a JUnit 4 based Runner for
running any TestEngine
on the platform in a JUnit 4 based environment. First-class
support for the JUnit Platform also exists in popular IDEs (see
IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse,
NetBeans, and Visual Studio Code) and build tools (see
Gradle, Maven, and
Ant).
JUnit Jupiter is the combination of the new programming model and
extension model for writing tests and extensions in JUnit 5. The Jupiter
sub-project provides a TestEngine
for running Jupiter based tests on the platform.
JUnit Vintage provides a TestEngine
for running JUnit 3 and JUnit 4 based tests on
the platform.
1.2. Supported Java Versions
JUnit 5 requires Java 8 (or higher) at runtime. However, you can still test code that has been compiled with previous versions of the JDK.
1.3. Getting Help
Ask JUnit 5 related questions on Stack Overflow or chat with us on Gitter.
1.4. Getting Started
1.4.1. Downloading JUnit Artifacts
To find out what artifacts are available for download and inclusion in your project, refer to Dependency Metadata. To set up dependency management for your build, refer to Build Support and the Example Projects.
1.4.2. JUnit 5 Features
To find out what features are available in JUnit 5 and how to use them, read the corresponding sections of this User Guide, organized by topic.
1.4.3. Example Projects
To see complete, working examples of projects that you can copy and experiment with, the
junit5-samples
repository is a good place to start. The
junit5-samples
repository hosts a collection of sample projects based on JUnit Jupiter,
JUnit Vintage, and other testing frameworks. You’ll find appropriate build scripts (e.g.,
build.gradle
, pom.xml
, etc.) in the example projects. The links below highlight some
of the combinations you can choose from.

2. Writing Tests
The following example provides a glimpse at the minimum requirements for writing a test in JUnit Jupiter. Subsequent sections of this chapter will provide further details on all available features.
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
import example.util.Calculator;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
class MyFirstJUnitJupiterTests {
private final Calculator calculator = new Calculator();
@Test
void addition() {
assertEquals(2, calculator.add(1, 1));
}
}
2.1. Annotations
JUnit Jupiter supports the following annotations for configuring tests and extending the framework.
Unless otherwise stated, all core annotations are located in the org.junit.jupiter.api
package
in the junit-jupiter-api
module.
Annotation | Description |
---|---|
|
Denotes that a method is a test method. Unlike JUnit 4’s |
|
Denotes that a method is a parameterized test. Such methods are inherited unless they are overridden. |
|
Denotes that a method is a test template for a repeated test. Such methods are inherited unless they are overridden. |
|
Denotes that a method is a test factory for dynamic tests. Such methods are inherited unless they are overridden. |
|
Denotes that a method is a template for test cases designed to be invoked multiple times depending on the number of invocation contexts returned by the registered providers. Such methods are inherited unless they are overridden. |
|
Used to configure the test method execution order for the annotated test class; similar to JUnit 4’s |
|
Used to configure the test instance lifecycle for the annotated test class. Such annotations are inherited. |
|
Declares a custom display name for the test class or test method. Such annotations are not inherited. |
|
Declares a custom display name generator for the test class. Such annotations are inherited. |
|
Denotes that the annotated method should be executed before each |
|
Denotes that the annotated method should be executed after each |
|
Denotes that the annotated method should be executed before all |
|
Denotes that the annotated method should be executed after all |
|
Denotes that the annotated class is a non-static nested test class. |
|
Used to declare tags for filtering tests, either at the class or method level; analogous to test groups in TestNG or Categories in JUnit 4. Such annotations are inherited at the class level but not at the method level. |
|
Used to disable a test class or test method; analogous to JUnit 4’s |
|
Used to fail a test, test factory, test template, or lifecycle method if its execution exceeds a given duration. Such annotations are inherited. |
|
Used to register extensions declaratively. Such annotations are inherited. |
|
Used to register extensions programmatically via fields. Such fields are inherited unless they are shadowed. |
|
Used to supply a temporary directory via field injection or parameter injection in a lifecycle method or test method; located in the |
Some annotations may currently be experimental. Consult the table in Experimental APIs for details. |
2.1.1. Meta-Annotations and Composed Annotations
JUnit Jupiter annotations can be used as meta-annotations. That means that you can define your own composed annotation that will automatically inherit the semantics of its meta-annotations.
For example, instead of copying and pasting @Tag("fast")
throughout your code base (see
Tagging and Filtering), you can create a custom composed annotation
named @Fast
as follows. @Fast
can then be used as a drop-in replacement for
@Tag("fast")
.
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Tag;
@Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Tag("fast")
public @interface Fast {
}
The following @Test
method demonstrates usage of the @Fast
annotation.
@Fast
@Test
void myFastTest() {
// ...
}
You can even take that one step further by introducing a custom @FastTest
annotation
that can be used as a drop-in replacement for @Tag("fast")
and @Test
.
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Tag;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Tag("fast")
@Test
public @interface FastTest {
}
JUnit automatically recognizes the following as a @Test
method that is tagged with
"fast".
@FastTest
void myFastTest() {
// ...
}
2.2. Test Classes and Methods
Test Class: any top-level class, static
member class, or @Nested
class that contains at least one test method.
Test classes must not be abstract
and must have a single constructor.
Test Method: any instance method that is directly annotated or meta-annotated with
@Test
, @RepeatedTest
, @ParameterizedTest
, @TestFactory
, or @TestTemplate
.
Lifecycle Method: any method that is directly annotated or meta-annotated with
@BeforeAll
, @AfterAll
, @BeforeEach
, or @AfterEach
.
Test methods and lifecycle methods may be declared locally within the current test class,
inherited from superclasses, or inherited from interfaces (see
Test Interfaces and Default Methods). In addition, test methods and
lifecycle methods must not be abstract
and must not return a value.
Test classes, test methods, and lifecycle methods are not required to be public ,
but they must not be private .
|
The following test class demonstrates the use of @Test
methods and all supported
lifecycle methods. For further information on runtime semantics, see
Test Execution Order and
Wrapping Behavior of Callbacks.
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.fail;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assumptions.assumeTrue;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Disabled;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
class StandardTests {
@BeforeAll
static void initAll() {
}
@BeforeEach
void init() {
}
@Test
void succeedingTest() {
}
@Test
void failingTest() {
fail("a failing test");
}
@Test
@Disabled("for demonstration purposes")
void skippedTest() {
// not executed
}
@Test
void abortedTest() {
assumeTrue("abc".contains("Z"));
fail("test should have been aborted");
}
@AfterEach
void tearDown() {
}
@AfterAll
static void tearDownAll() {
}
}
2.3. Display Names
Test classes and test methods can declare custom display names via @DisplayName
— with
spaces, special characters, and even emojis — that will be displayed in test reports and
by test runners and IDEs.
import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
@DisplayName("A special test case")
class DisplayNameDemo {
@Test
@DisplayName("Custom test name containing spaces")
void testWithDisplayNameContainingSpaces() {
}
@Test
@DisplayName("╯°□°)╯")
void testWithDisplayNameContainingSpecialCharacters() {
}
@Test
@DisplayName("😱")
void testWithDisplayNameContainingEmoji() {
}
}
2.3.1. Display Name Generators
JUnit Jupiter supports custom display name generators that can be configured via the
@DisplayNameGeneration
annotation. Values provided via @DisplayName
annotations
always take precedence over display names generated by a DisplayNameGenerator
.
Generators can be created by implementing DisplayNameGenerator
. Here are some default
ones available in Jupiter:
DisplayNameGenerator | Behavior |
---|---|
|
Matches the standard display name generation behavior in place since JUnit Jupiter 5.0 was released. |
|
Removes trailing parentheses for methods with no parameters. |
|
Replaces underscores with spaces. |
|
Generates complete sentences by concatenating the names of the test and the enclosing classes. |
Note that for IndicativeSentences
, you can customize the separator and the
underlying generator by using @IndicativeSentencesGeneration
as shown in the
following example.
import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayNameGeneration;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayNameGenerator;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.IndicativeSentencesGeneration;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Nested;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.params.ParameterizedTest;
import org.junit.jupiter.params.provider.ValueSource;
class DisplayNameGeneratorDemo {
@Nested
@DisplayNameGeneration(DisplayNameGenerator.ReplaceUnderscores.class)
class A_year_is_not_supported {
@Test
void if_it_is_zero() {
}
@DisplayName("A negative value for year is not supported by the leap year computation.")
@ParameterizedTest(name = "For example, year {0} is not supported.")
@ValueSource(ints = { -1, -4 })
void if_it_is_negative(int year) {
}
}
@Nested
@IndicativeSentencesGeneration(separator = " -> ", generator = DisplayNameGenerator.ReplaceUnderscores.class)
class A_year_is_a_leap_year {
@Test
void if_it_is_divisible_by_4_but_not_by_100() {
}
@ParameterizedTest(name = "Year {0} is a leap year.")
@ValueSource(ints = { 2016, 2020, 2048 })
void if_it_is_one_of_the_following_years(int year) {
}
}
}
+-- DisplayNameGeneratorDemo [OK]
+-- A year is not supported [OK]
| +-- A negative value for year is not supported by the leap year computation. [OK]
| | +-- For example, year -1 is not supported. [OK]
| | '-- For example, year -4 is not supported. [OK]
| '-- if it is zero() [OK]
'-- A year is a leap year [OK]
+-- A year is a leap year -> if it is divisible by 4 but not by 100. [OK]
'-- A year is a leap year -> if it is one of the following years. [OK]
+-- Year 2016 is a leap year. [OK]
+-- Year 2020 is a leap year. [OK]
'-- Year 2048 is a leap year. [OK]
2.3.2. Setting the Default Display Name Generator
You can use the junit.jupiter.displayname.generator.default
configuration parameter to specify the fully qualified
class name of the DisplayNameGenerator
you would like to use by default. Just like for
display name generators configured via the @DisplayNameGeneration
annotation, the
supplied class has to implement the DisplayNameGenerator
interface. The default display
name generator will be used for all tests unless the @DisplayNameGeneration
annotation
is present on an enclosing test class or test interface. Values provided via
@DisplayName
annotations always take precedence over display names generated by a
DisplayNameGenerator
.
For example, to use the ReplaceUnderscores
display name generator by default, you should
set the configuration parameter to the corresponding fully qualified class name (e.g., in
src/test/resources/junit-platform.properties
):
junit.jupiter.displayname.generator.default = \
org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayNameGenerator$ReplaceUnderscores
Similarly, you can specify the fully qualified name of any custom class that implements
DisplayNameGenerator
.
In summary, the display name for a test class or method is determined according to the following precedence rules:
-
value of the
@DisplayName
annotation, if present -
by calling the
DisplayNameGenerator
specified in the@DisplayNameGeneration
annotation, if present -
by calling the default
DisplayNameGenerator
configured via the configuration parameter, if present -
by calling
org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayNameGenerator.Standard
2.4. Assertions
JUnit Jupiter comes with many of the assertion methods that JUnit 4 has and adds a few
that lend themselves well to being used with Java 8 lambdas. All JUnit Jupiter assertions
are static
methods in the org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions
class.
import static java.time.Duration.ofMillis;
import static java.time.Duration.ofMinutes;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertAll;

private final Person person = new Person("Jane", "Doe");
@Test
void standardAssertions() {
assertEquals(2, calculator.add(1, 1));
assertEquals(4, calculator.multiply(2, 2),
"The optional failure message is now the last parameter");
assertTrue('a' < 'b', () -> "Assertion messages can be lazily evaluated -- "
+ "to avoid constructing complex messages unnecessarily.");
}
@Test
void groupedAssertions() {
// In a grouped assertion all assertions are executed, and all
// failures will be reported together.
assertAll("person",
() -> assertEquals("Jane", person.getFirstName()),
() -> assertEquals("Doe", person.getLastName())
);
}
@Test
void dependentAssertions() {
// Within a code block, if an assertion fails the
// subsequent code in the same block will be skipped.
assertAll("properties",
() -> {
String firstName = person.getFirstName();
assertNotNull(firstName);
// Executed only if the previous assertion is valid.
assertAll("first name",
() -> assertTrue(firstName.startsWith("J")),
() -> assertTrue(firstName.endsWith("e"))
);
},
() -> {
// Grouped assertion, so processed independently
// of results of first name assertions.
String lastName = person.getLastName();
assertNotNull(lastName);
// Executed only if the previous assertion is valid.
assertAll("last name",
() -> assertTrue(lastName.startsWith("D")),
() -> assertTrue(lastName.endsWith("e"))
);
}
);
}
@Test
void exceptionTesting() {
Exception exception = assertThrows(ArithmeticException.class, () ->
calculator.divide(1, 0));
assertEquals("/ by zero", exception.getMessage());
}
@Test
void timeoutNotExceeded() {
// The following assertion succeeds.
assertTimeout(ofMinutes(2), () -> {
// Perform task that takes less than 2 minutes.
});
}
@Test
void timeoutNotExceededWithResult() {
// The following assertion succeeds, and returns the supplied object.
String actualResult = assertTimeout(ofMinutes(2), () -> {
return "a result";
});
assertEquals("a result", actualResult);
}
@Test
void timeoutNotExceededWithMethod() {
// The following assertion invokes a method reference and returns an object.
String actualGreeting = assertTimeout(ofMinutes(2), AssertionsDemo::greeting);
assertEquals("Hello, World!", actualGreeting);
}
@Test
void timeoutExceeded() {
// The following assertion fails with an error message similar to:
// execution exceeded timeout of 10 ms by 91 ms
assertTimeout(ofMillis(10), () -> {
// Simulate task that takes more than 10 ms.
Thread.sleep(100);
});
}
@Test
void timeoutExceededWithPreemptiveTermination() {
// The following assertion fails with an error message similar to:
// execution timed out after 10 ms
assertTimeoutPreemptively(ofMillis(10), () -> {

});

return "Hello, World!";
}

2.4.1. Kotlin Assertion Support
JUnit Jupiter also comes with a few assertion methods that lend themselves well to being
used in Kotlin. All JUnit Jupiter Kotlin assertions are top-level
functions in the org.junit.jupiter.api
package.
import example.domain.Person
import example.util.Calculator
import java.time.Duration
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertTrue
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test
import org.junit.jupiter.api.assertAll
import org.junit.jupiter.api.assertDoesNotThrow
import org.junit.jupiter.api.assertThrows
import org.junit.jupiter.api.assertTimeout
import org.junit.jupiter.api.assertTimeoutPreemptively
class KotlinAssertionsDemo {
private val person = Person("Jane", "Doe")
private val people = setOf(person, Person("John", "Doe"))
@Test
fun `exception absence testing`() {
val calculator = Calculator()
val result = assertDoesNotThrow("Should not throw an exception") {
calculator.divide(0, 1)
}
assertEquals(0, result)
}
@Test
fun `expected exception testing`() {
val calculator = Calculator()
val exception = assertThrows<ArithmeticException> ("Should throw an exception") {
calculator.divide(1, 0)
}
assertEquals("/ by zero", exception.message)
}
@Test
fun `grouped assertions`() {
assertAll("Person properties",
{ assertEquals("Jane", person.firstName) },
{ assertEquals("Doe", person.lastName) }
)
}
@Test
fun `grouped assertions from a stream`() {
assertAll("People with first name starting with J",
people
.stream()
.map {
// This mapping returns Stream<() -> Unit>
{ assertTrue(it.firstName.startsWith("J")) }
}
)
}
@Test
fun `grouped assertions from a collection`() {
assertAll("People with last name of Doe",
people.map { { assertEquals("Doe", it.lastName) } }
)
}
@Test
fun `timeout not exceeded testing`() {
val fibonacciCalculator = FibonacciCalculator()
val result = assertTimeout(Duration.ofMillis(1000)) {
fibonacciCalculator.fib(14)
}
assertEquals(377, result)
}
@Test
fun `timeout exceeded with preemptive termination`() {
// The following assertion fails with an error message similar to:
// execution timed out after 10 ms
assertTimeoutPreemptively(Duration.ofMillis(10)) {
// Simulate task that takes more than 10 ms.
Thread.sleep(100)
}
}
}
2.4.2. Third-party Assertion Libraries
Even though the assertion facilities provided by JUnit Jupiter are sufficient for many testing scenarios, there are times when more power and additional functionality such as matchers are desired or required. In such cases, the JUnit team recommends the use of third-party assertion libraries such as AssertJ, Hamcrest, Truth, etc. Developers are therefore free to use the assertion library of their choice.
For example, the combination of matchers and a fluent API can be used to make
assertions more descriptive and readable. However, JUnit Jupiter’s org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions
class
does not provide an
assertThat()
method like the one found in JUnit 4’s org.junit.Assert
class which accepts a Hamcrest
Matcher
. Instead,
developers are encouraged to use the built-in support for matchers provided by third-party
assertion libraries.
The following example demonstrates how to use the assertThat()
support from Hamcrest in
a JUnit Jupiter test. As long as the Hamcrest library has been added to the classpath,
you can statically import methods such as assertThat()
, is()
, and equalTo()
and
then use them in tests like in the assertWithHamcrestMatcher()
method below.
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.equalTo;
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is;
import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;
import example.util.Calculator;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
class HamcrestAssertionsDemo {
private final Calculator calculator = new Calculator();
@Test
void assertWithHamcrestMatcher() {
assertThat(calculator.subtract(4, 1), is(equalTo(3)));
}
}
Naturally, legacy tests based on the JUnit 4 programming model can continue using
org.junit.Assert#assertThat
.
2.5. Assumptions
JUnit Jupiter comes with a subset of the assumption methods that JUnit 4 provides and
adds a few that lend themselves well to being used with Java 8 lambda expressions and
method references. All JUnit Jupiter assumptions are static methods in the
org.junit.jupiter.api.Assumptions
class.
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assumptions.assumeTrue;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assumptions.assumingThat;
import example.util.Calculator;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
class AssumptionsDemo {
private final Calculator calculator = new Calculator();
@Test
void testOnlyOnCiServer() {
assumeTrue("CI".equals(System.getenv("ENV")));
// remainder of test
}
@Test
void testOnlyOnDeveloperWorkstation() {
assumeTrue("DEV".equals(System.getenv("ENV")),
() -> "Aborting test: not on developer workstation");
// remainder of test
}
@Test
void testInAllEnvironments() {
assumingThat("CI".equals(System.getenv("ENV")),
() -> {
// perform these assertions only on the CI server
assertEquals(2, calculator.divide(4, 2));
});
// perform these assertions in all environments
assertEquals(42, calculator.multiply(6, 7));
}
}
As of JUnit Jupiter 5.4, it is also possible to use methods from JUnit 4’s
org.junit.Assume class for assumptions. Specifically, JUnit Jupiter supports JUnit 4’s
AssumptionViolatedException to signal that a test should be aborted instead of marked
as a failure.
|
2.6. Disabling Tests
Entire test classes or individual test methods may be disabled via the @Disabled
annotation, via one of the annotations discussed in
Conditional Test Execution, or via a custom ExecutionCondition
.
Here’s a @Disabled
test class.
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Disabled;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
@Disabled("Disabled until bug #99 has been fixed")
class DisabledClassDemo {
@Test
void testWillBeSkipped() {
}
}
And here’s a test class that contains a @Disabled
test method.
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Disabled;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
class DisabledTestsDemo {
@Disabled("Disabled until bug #42 has been resolved")
@Test
void testWillBeSkipped() {
}
@Test
void testWillBeExecuted() {
}
}
@Disabled may be declared without providing a reason; however, the JUnit team
recommends that developers provide a short explanation for why a test class or test
method has been disabled. Consequently, the above examples both show the use of a reason — for example, @Disabled("Disabled until bug #42 has been resolved") . Some development
teams even require the presence of issue tracking numbers in the reason for automated
traceability, etc.
|
2.7. Conditional Test Execution
The ExecutionCondition
extension API in JUnit Jupiter allows
developers to either enable or disable a container or test based on certain
conditions programmatically. The simplest example of such a condition is the built-in
DisabledCondition
which supports the @Disabled
annotation (see
Disabling Tests). In addition to @Disabled
, JUnit Jupiter also supports
several other annotation-based conditions in the org.junit.jupiter.api.condition
package that allow developers to enable or disable containers and tests declaratively.
When multiple ExecutionCondition
extensions are registered, a container or test is
disabled as soon as one of the conditions returns disabled. If you wish to provide
details about why they might be disabled, every annotation associated with these built-in
conditions has a disabledReason
attribute available for that purpose.
See ExecutionCondition
and the following sections for
details.
Composed Annotations
Note that any of the conditional annotations listed in the following sections may also
be used as a meta-annotation in order to create a custom composed annotation. For
example, the |
Unless otherwise stated, each of the conditional annotations listed in the following
sections can only be declared once on a given test interface, test class, or test method.
If a conditional annotation is directly present, indirectly present, or meta-present
multiple times on a given element, only the first such annotation discovered by JUnit will
be used; any additional declarations will be silently ignored. Note, however, that each
conditional annotation may be used in conjunction with other conditional annotations in
the |
2.7.1. Operating System Conditions
A container or test may be enabled or disabled on a particular operating system via the
@EnabledOnOs
and @DisabledOnOs
annotations.
@Test
@EnabledOnOs(MAC)
void onlyOnMacOs() {
// ...
}
@TestOnMac
void testOnMac() {
// ...
}
@Test
@EnabledOnOs({ LINUX, MAC })
void onLinuxOrMac() {
// ...
}
@Test
@DisabledOnOs(WINDOWS)
void notOnWindows() {
// ...
}
@Target(ElementType.METHOD)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Test
@EnabledOnOs(MAC)
@interface TestOnMac {
}
2.7.2. Java Runtime Environment Conditions
A container or test may be enabled or disabled on particular versions of the Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) via the @EnabledOnJre
and @DisabledOnJre
annotations
or on a particular range of versions of the JRE via the @EnabledForJreRange
and
@DisabledForJreRange
annotations. The range defaults to JRE.JAVA_8
as the lower
border (min
) and JRE.OTHER
as the higher border (max
), which allows usage of
half open ranges.
@Test
@EnabledOnJre(JAVA_8)
void onlyOnJava8() {
// ...
}
@Test
@EnabledOnJre({ JAVA_9, JAVA_10 })
void onJava9Or10() {
// ...
}
@Test
@EnabledForJreRange(min = JAVA_9, max = JAVA_11)
void fromJava9to11() {
// ...
}
@Test
@EnabledForJreRange(min = JAVA_9)
void fromJava9toCurrentJavaFeatureNumber() {
// ...
}
@Test
@EnabledForJreRange(max = JAVA_11)
void fromJava8To11() {
// ...
}
@Test
@DisabledOnJre(JAVA_9)
void notOnJava9() {
// ...
}
@Test
@DisabledForJreRange(min = JAVA_9, max = JAVA_11)
void notFromJava9to11() {
// ...
}
@Test
@DisabledForJreRange(min = JAVA_9)
void notFromJava9toCurrentJavaFeatureNumber() {
// ...
}
@Test
@DisabledForJreRange(max = JAVA_11)
void notFromJava8to11() {
// ...
}
2.7.3. System Property Conditions
A container or test may be enabled or disabled based on the value of the named
JVM
system property via the @EnabledIfSystemProperty
and @DisabledIfSystemProperty
annotations. The value supplied via the matches
attribute will be interpreted as a
regular expression.
@Test
@EnabledIfSystemProperty(named = "os.arch", matches = ".*64.*")
void onlyOn64BitArchitectures() {
// ...
}
@Test
@DisabledIfSystemProperty(named = "ci-server", matches = "true")
void notOnCiServer() {
// ...
}
As of JUnit Jupiter 5.6, |
2.7.4. Environment Variable Conditions
A container or test may be enabled or disabled based on the value of the named
environment variable from the underlying operating system via the
@EnabledIfEnvironmentVariable
and @DisabledIfEnvironmentVariable
annotations. The
value supplied via the matches
attribute will be interpreted as a regular expression.
@Test
@EnabledIfEnvironmentVariable(named = "ENV", matches = "staging-server")
void onlyOnStagingServer() {
// ...
}
@Test
@DisabledIfEnvironmentVariable(named = "ENV", matches = ".*development.*")
void notOnDeveloperWorkstation() {
// ...
}
As of JUnit Jupiter 5.6, |
2.7.5. Custom Conditions
A container or test may be enabled or disabled based on the boolean return of a
method via the @EnabledIf
and @DisabledIf
annotations. The method is provided to
the annotation via its name, or its fully qualified name if located outside the test
class.
If needed, the condition method can take a single parameter of type ExtensionContext
.
@Test
@EnabledIf("customCondition")
void enabled() {
// ...
}
@Test
@DisabledIf("customCondition")
void disabled() {
// ...
}
boolean customCondition() {
return true;
}
When @EnabledIf or @DisabledIf is used at class level, the condition method
must always be static . Condition methods located in external classes must also be
static . In any other case, you can use both static or instance methods.
|
2.8. Tagging and Filtering
Test classes and methods can be tagged via the @Tag
annotation. Those tags can later be
used to filter test discovery and execution.
See also: Tag Expressions |
2.8.1. Syntax Rules for Tags
-
A tag must not be
null
or blank. -
A trimmed tag must not contain whitespace.
-
A trimmed tag must not contain ISO control characters.
-
A trimmed tag must not contain any of the following reserved characters.
-
,
: comma -
(
: left parenthesis -
)
: right parenthesis -
&
: ampersand -
|
: vertical bar -
!
: exclamation point
-
In the above context, "trimmed" means that leading and trailing whitespace characters have been removed. |
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Tag;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
@Tag("fast")
@Tag("model")
class TaggingDemo {
@Test
@Tag("taxes")
void testingTaxCalculation() {
}
}
See Meta-Annotations and Composed Annotations for examples demonstrating how to create custom annotations for tags. |
2.9. Test Execution Order
By default, test methods will be ordered using an algorithm that is deterministic but intentionally nonobvious. This ensures that subsequent runs of a test suite execute test methods in the same order, thereby allowing for repeatable builds.
See Test Classes and Methods for a definition of test method. |
Although true unit tests typically should not rely on the order in which they are
executed, there are times when it is necessary to enforce a specific test method execution
order — for example, when writing integration tests or functional tests where the
sequence of the tests is important, especially in conjunction with
@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
.
To control the order in which test methods are executed, annotate your test class or test
interface with @TestMethodOrder
and specify the desired MethodOrderer
implementation. You can implement your own custom MethodOrderer
or use one of the
following built-in MethodOrderer
implementations.
-
DisplayName
: sorts test methods alphanumerically based on their display names (see display name generation precedence rules) -
MethodName
: sorts test methods alphanumerically based on their method name and formal parameter lists. -
OrderAnnotation
: sorts test methods numerically based on values specified via the@Order
annotation. -
Random
: orders test methods pseudo-randomly and supports configuration of a custom seed. -
Alphanumeric
: sorts test methods alphanumerically based on their names and formal parameter lists. Deprecated in favor ofMethodName
. Will be removed in 6.0
See also: Wrapping Behavior of Callbacks |
The following example demonstrates how to guarantee that test methods are executed in the
order specified via the @Order
annotation.
import org.junit.jupiter.api.MethodOrderer.OrderAnnotation;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Order;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.TestMethodOrder;
@TestMethodOrder(OrderAnnotation.class)
class OrderedTestsDemo {
@Test
@Order(1)
void nullValues() {
// perform assertions against null values
}
@Test
@Order(2)
void emptyValues() {
// perform assertions against empty values
}
@Test
@Order(3)
void validValues() {
// perform assertions against valid values
}
}
2.9.1. Setting the Default Method Orderer
You can use the junit.jupiter.testmethod.order.default
configuration parameter to specify the fully qualified class name of the
MethodOrderer
you would like to use by default. Just like for the orderer configured
via the @TestMethodOrder
annotation, the supplied class has to implement the
MethodOrderer
interface. The default orderer will be used for all tests unless the
@TestMethodOrder
annotation is present on an enclosing test class or test interface.
For example, to use the OrderAnnotation
method orderer by default, you should set the
configuration parameter to the corresponding fully qualified class name (e.g., in
src/test/resources/junit-platform.properties
):
junit.jupiter.testmethod.order.default = \
org.junit.jupiter.api.MethodOrderer$OrderAnnotation
Similarly, you can specify the fully qualified name of any custom class that implements
MethodOrderer
.
2.10. Test Instance Lifecycle
In order to allow individual test methods to be executed in isolation and to avoid unexpected side effects due to mutable test instance state, JUnit creates a new instance of each test class before executing each test method (see Test Classes and Methods). This "per-method" test instance lifecycle is the default behavior in JUnit Jupiter and is analogous to all previous versions of JUnit.
Please note that the test class will still be instantiated if a given test method
is disabled via a condition (e.g., @Disabled ,
@DisabledOnOs , etc.) even when the "per-method" test instance lifecycle mode is active.
|
If you would prefer that JUnit Jupiter execute all test methods on the same test
instance, annotate your test class with @TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
. When using
this mode, a new test instance will be created once per test class. Thus, if your test
methods rely on state stored in instance variables, you may need to reset that state in
@BeforeEach
or @AfterEach
methods.
The "per-class" mode has some additional benefits over the default "per-method" mode.
Specifically, with the "per-class" mode it becomes possible to declare @BeforeAll
and
@AfterAll
on non-static methods as well as on interface default
methods. The
"per-class" mode therefore also makes it possible to use @BeforeAll
and @AfterAll
methods in @Nested
test classes.
If you are authoring tests using the Kotlin programming language, you may also find it
easier to implement @BeforeAll
and @AfterAll
methods by switching to the "per-class"
test instance lifecycle mode.
2.10.1. Changing the Default Test Instance Lifecycle
If a test class or test interface is not annotated with @TestInstance
, JUnit Jupiter
will use a default lifecycle mode. The standard default mode is PER_METHOD
;
however, it is possible to change the default for the execution of an entire test plan.
To change the default test instance lifecycle mode, set the
junit.jupiter.testinstance.lifecycle.default
configuration parameter to the name of
an enum constant defined in TestInstance.Lifecycle
, ignoring case. This can be supplied
as a JVM system property, as a configuration parameter in the
LauncherDiscoveryRequest
that is passed to the Launcher
, or via the JUnit Platform
configuration file (see Configuration Parameters for details).
For example, to set the default test instance lifecycle mode to Lifecycle.PER_CLASS
,
you can start your JVM with the following system property.
-Djunit.jupiter.testinstance.lifecycle.default=per_class
Note, however, that setting the default test instance lifecycle mode via the JUnit Platform configuration file is a more robust solution since the configuration file can be checked into a version control system along with your project and can therefore be used within IDEs and your build software.
To set the default test instance lifecycle mode to Lifecycle.PER_CLASS
via the JUnit
Platform configuration file, create a file named junit-platform.properties
in the root
of the class path (e.g., src/test/resources
) with the following content.
junit.jupiter.testinstance.lifecycle.default = per_class
Changing the default test instance lifecycle mode can lead to unpredictable results and fragile builds if not applied consistently. For example, if the build configures "per-class" semantics as the default but tests in the IDE are executed using "per-method" semantics, that can make it difficult to debug errors that occur on the build server. It is therefore recommended to change the default in the JUnit Platform configuration file instead of via a JVM system property. |
2.11. Nested Tests
@Nested
tests give the test writer more capabilities to express the relationship among
several groups of tests. Such nested tests make use of Java’s nested classes and
facilitate hierarchical thinking about the test structure.
Here’s an elaborate example, both as source code and as an IDE execution screenshot.
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertFalse;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertThrows;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertTrue;
import java.util.EmptyStackException;
import java.util.Stack;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Nested;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
@DisplayName("A stack")
class TestingAStackDemo {
Stack<Object> stack;
@Test
@DisplayName("is instantiated with new Stack()")
void isInstantiatedWithNew() {
new Stack<>();
}
@Nested
@DisplayName("when new")
class WhenNew {
@BeforeEach
void createNewStack() {
stack = new Stack<>();
}
@Test
@DisplayName("is empty")
void isEmpty() {
assertTrue(stack.isEmpty());
}
@Test
@DisplayName("throws EmptyStackException when popped")
void throwsExceptionWhenPopped() {
assertThrows(EmptyStackException.class, stack::pop);
}
@Test
@DisplayName("throws EmptyStackException when peeked")
void throwsExceptionWhenPeeked() {
assertThrows(EmptyStackException.class, stack::peek);
}
@Nested
@DisplayName("after pushing an element")
class AfterPushing {
String anElement = "an element";
@BeforeEach
void pushAnElement() {
stack.push(anElement);
}
@Test
@DisplayName("it is no longer empty")
void isNotEmpty() {
assertFalse(stack.isEmpty());
}
@Test
@DisplayName("returns the element when popped and is empty")
void returnElementWhenPopped() {
assertEquals(anElement, stack.pop());
assertTrue(stack.isEmpty());
}
@Test
@DisplayName("returns the element when peeked but remains not empty")
void returnElementWhenPeeked() {
assertEquals(anElement, stack.peek());
assertFalse(stack.isEmpty());
}
}
}
}
When executing this example in an IDE, the test execution tree in the GUI will look similar to the following image.
In this example preconditions from outer tests are used in inner tests by defining
hierarchical lifecycle methods for the setup code. E.g., the method createNewStack()
annotated as a lifecycle method with @BeforeEach
is such a setup method which is used
at all level below in the nesting tree.
The fact that setup code from outer tests is run before inner tests are executed gives you the ability to run all tests independently. You can even run inner tests alone without outer tests, because the setup code from the outer tests is always executed.
Only non-static nested classes (i.e. inner classes) can serve as @Nested test
classes. Nesting can be arbitrarily deep, and those inner classes are subject to full
lifecycle support with one exception:`@BeforeAll` and @AfterAll methods do not work
by default. The reason is that Java does not allow static members in inner classes.
However, this restriction can be circumvented by annotating a @Nested test class with
@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS) (see Test Instance Lifecycle).
|
2.12. Dependency Injection for Constructors and Methods
In all prior JUnit versions, test constructors or methods were not allowed to have
parameters (at least not with the standard Runner
implementations). As one of the major
changes in JUnit Jupiter, both test constructors and methods are now permitted to have
parameters. This allows for greater flexibility and enables Dependency Injection for
constructors and methods.
ParameterResolver
defines the API for test extensions that wish to dynamically
resolve parameters at runtime. If a test class constructor, a test method, or a
lifecycle method (see Test Classes and Methods) accepts a parameter, the
parameter must be resolved at runtime by a registered ParameterResolver
.
There are currently three built-in resolvers that are registered automatically.
-
TestInfoParameterResolver
: if a constructor or method parameter is of typeTestInfo
, theTestInfoParameterResolver
will supply an instance ofTestInfo
corresponding to the current container or test as the value for the parameter. TheTestInfo
can then be used to retrieve information about the current container or test such as the display name, the test class, the test method, and associated tags. The display name is either a technical name, such as the name of the test class or test method, or a custom name configured via@DisplayName
.TestInfo
acts as a drop-in replacement for theTestName
rule from JUnit 4. The following demonstrates how to haveTestInfo
injected into a test constructor,@BeforeEach
method, and@Test
method.
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertTrue;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Tag;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.TestInfo;
@DisplayName("TestInfo Demo")
class TestInfoDemo {
TestInfoDemo(TestInfo testInfo) {
assertEquals("TestInfo Demo", testInfo.getDisplayName());
}
@BeforeEach
void init(TestInfo testInfo) {
String displayName = testInfo.getDisplayName();
assertTrue(displayName.equals("TEST 1") || displayName.equals("test2()"));
}
@Test
@DisplayName("TEST 1")
@Tag("my-tag")
void test1(TestInfo testInfo) {
assertEquals("TEST 1", testInfo.getDisplayName());
assertTrue(testInfo.getTags().contains("my-tag"));
}
@Test
void test2() {
}
}
-
RepetitionInfoParameterResolver
: if a method parameter in a@RepeatedTest
,@BeforeEach
, or@AfterEach
method is of typeRepetitionInfo
, theRepetitionInfoParameterResolver
will supply an instance ofRepetitionInfo
.RepetitionInfo
can then be used to retrieve information about the current repetition and the total number of repetitions for the corresponding@RepeatedTest
. Note, however, thatRepetitionInfoParameterResolver
is not registered outside the context of a@RepeatedTest
. See Repeated Test Examples. -
TestReporterParameterResolver
: if a constructor or method parameter is of typeTestReporter
, theTestReporterParameterResolver
will supply an instance ofTestReporter
. TheTestReporter
can be used to publish additional data about the current test run. The data can be consumed via thereportingEntryPublished()
method in aTestExecutionListener
, allowing it to be viewed in IDEs or included in reports.In JUnit Jupiter you should use
TestReporter
where you used to print information tostdout
orstderr
in JUnit 4. Using@RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
will output all reported entries tostdout
. In addition, some IDEs print report entries tostdout
or display them in the user interface for test results.
class TestReporterDemo {
@Test
void reportSingleValue(TestReporter testReporter) {
testReporter.publishEntry("a status message");
}
@Test
void reportKeyValuePair(TestReporter testReporter) {
testReporter.publishEntry("a key", "a value");
}
@Test
void reportMultipleKeyValuePairs(TestReporter testReporter) {
Map<String, String> values = new HashMap<>();
values.put("user name", "dk38");
values.put("award year", "1974");
testReporter.publishEntry(values);
}
}
Other parameter resolvers must be explicitly enabled by registering appropriate
extensions via @ExtendWith .
|
Check out the RandomParametersExtension
for an example of a custom
ParameterResolver
. While not intended to be production-ready, it demonstrates the
simplicity and expressiveness of both the extension model and the parameter resolution
process. MyRandomParametersTest
demonstrates how to inject random values into @Test
methods.
@ExtendWith(RandomParametersExtension.class)
class MyRandomParametersTest {
@Test
void injectsInteger(@Random int i, @Random int j) {
assertNotEquals(i, j);
}
@Test
void injectsDouble(@Random double d) {
assertEquals(0.0, d, 1.0);
}
}
For real-world use cases, check out the source code for the MockitoExtension
and the
SpringExtension
.
When the type of the parameter to inject is the only condition for your
ParameterResolver
, you can use the generic TypeBasedParameterResolver
base class.
The supportsParameters
method is implemented behind the scenes and supports
parameterized types.
2.13. Test Interfaces and Default Methods
JUnit Jupiter allows @Test
, @RepeatedTest
, @ParameterizedTest
, @TestFactory
,
@TestTemplate
, @BeforeEach
, and @AfterEach
to be declared on interface default
methods. @BeforeAll
and @AfterAll
can either be declared on static
methods in a
test interface or on interface default
methods if the test interface or test class is
annotated with @TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
(see
Test Instance Lifecycle). Here are some examples.
@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
interface TestLifecycleLogger {
static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(TestLifecycleLogger.class.getName());
@BeforeAll
default void beforeAllTests() {
logger.info("Before all tests");
}
@AfterAll
default void afterAllTests() {
logger.info("After all tests");
}
@BeforeEach
default void beforeEachTest(TestInfo testInfo) {
logger.info(() -> String.format("About to execute [%s]",
testInfo.getDisplayName()));
}
@AfterEach
default void afterEachTest(TestInfo testInfo) {
logger.info(() -> String.format("Finished executing [%s]",
testInfo.getDisplayName()));
}
}
interface TestInterfaceDynamicTestsDemo {
@TestFactory
default Stream<DynamicTest> dynamicTestsForPalindromes() {
return Stream.of("racecar", "radar", "mom", "dad")
.map(text -> dynamicTest(text, () -> assertTrue(isPalindrome(text))));
}
}
@ExtendWith
and @Tag
can be declared on a test interface so that classes that
implement the interface automatically inherit its tags and extensions. See
Before and After Test Execution Callbacks for the source code of the
TimingExtension.
@Tag("timed")
@ExtendWith(TimingExtension.class)
interface TimeExecutionLogger {
}
In your test class you can then implement these test interfaces to have them applied.
class TestInterfaceDemo implements TestLifecycleLogger,
TimeExecutionLogger, TestInterfaceDynamicTestsDemo {
@Test
void isEqualValue() {
assertEquals(1, "a".length(), "is always equal");
}
}
Running the TestInterfaceDemo
results in output similar to the following:
INFO example.TestLifecycleLogger - Before all tests INFO example.TestLifecycleLogger - About to execute [dynamicTestsForPalindromes()] INFO example.TimingExtension - Method [dynamicTestsForPalindromes] took 19 ms. INFO example.TestLifecycleLogger - Finished executing [dynamicTestsForPalindromes()] INFO example.TestLifecycleLogger - About to execute [isEqualValue()] INFO example.TimingExtension - Method [isEqualValue] took 1 ms. INFO example.TestLifecycleLogger - Finished executing [isEqualValue()] INFO example.TestLifecycleLogger - After all tests
Another possible application of this feature is to write tests for interface contracts.
For example, you can write tests for how implementations of Object.equals
or
Comparable.compareTo
should behave as follows.
public interface Testable<T> {
T createValue();
}
public interface EqualsContract<T> extends Testable<T> {
T createNotEqualValue();
@Test
default void valueEqualsItself() {
T value = createValue();
assertEquals(value, value);
}
@Test
default void valueDoesNotEqualNull() {
T value = createValue();
assertFalse(value.equals(null));
}
@Test
default void valueDoesNotEqualDifferentValue() {
T value = createValue();
T differentValue = createNotEqualValue();
assertNotEquals(value, differentValue);
assertNotEquals(differentValue, value);
}
}
public interface ComparableContract<T extends Comparable<T>> extends Testable<T> {
T createSmallerValue();
@Test
default void returnsZeroWhenComparedToItself() {
T value = createValue();
assertEquals(0, value.compareTo(value));
}
@Test
default void returnsPositiveNumberWhenComparedToSmallerValue() {
T value = createValue();
T smallerValue = createSmallerValue();
assertTrue(value.compareTo(smallerValue) > 0);
}
@Test
default void returnsNegativeNumberWhenComparedToLargerValue() {
T value = createValue();
T smallerValue = createSmallerValue();
assertTrue(smallerValue.compareTo(value) < 0);
}
}
In your test class you can then implement both contract interfaces thereby inheriting the corresponding tests. Of course you’ll have to implement the abstract methods.
class StringTests implements ComparableContract<String>, EqualsContract<String> {
@Override
public String createValue() {
return "banana";
}
@Override
public String createSmallerValue() {
return "apple"; // 'a' < 'b' in "banana"
}
@Override
public String createNotEqualValue() {
return "cherry";
}
}
The above tests are merely meant as examples and therefore not complete. |
2.14. Repeated Tests
JUnit Jupiter provides the ability to repeat a test a specified number of times by
annotating a method with @RepeatedTest
and specifying the total number of repetitions
desired. Each invocation of a repeated test behaves like the execution of a regular
@Test
method with full support for the same lifecycle callbacks and extensions.
The following example demonstrates how to declare a test named repeatedTest()
that
will be automatically repeated 10 times.
@RepeatedTest(10)
void repeatedTest() {
// ...
}
In addition to specifying the number of repetitions, a custom display name can be
configured for each repetition via the name
attribute of the @RepeatedTest
annotation. Furthermore, the display name can be a pattern composed of a combination of
static text and dynamic placeholders. The following placeholders are currently supported.
-
DisplayName
: display name of the@RepeatedTest
method -
{currentRepetition}
: the current repetition count -
{totalRepetitions}
: the total number of repetitions
The default display name for a given repetition is generated based on the following
pattern: "repetition {currentRepetition} of {totalRepetitions}"
. Thus, the display
names for individual repetitions of the previous repeatedTest()
example would be:
repetition 1 of 10
, repetition 2 of 10
, etc. If you would like the display name of
the @RepeatedTest
method included in the name of each repetition, you can define your
own custom pattern or use the predefined RepeatedTest.LONG_DISPLAY_NAME
pattern. The
latter is equal to "DisplayName :: repetition {currentRepetition} of
{totalRepetitions}"
which results in display names for individual repetitions like
repeatedTest() :: repetition 1 of 10
, repeatedTest() :: repetition 2 of 10
, etc.
In order to retrieve information about the current repetition and the total number of
repetitions programmatically, a developer can choose to have an instance of
RepetitionInfo
injected into a @RepeatedTest
, @BeforeEach
, or @AfterEach
method.
2.14.1. Repeated Test Examples
The RepeatedTestsDemo
class at the end of this section demonstrates several examples of
repeated tests.
The repeatedTest()
method is identical to example from the previous section; whereas,
repeatedTestWithRepetitionInfo()
demonstrates how to have an instance of
RepetitionInfo
injected into a test to access the total number of repetitions for the
current repeated test.
The next two methods demonstrate how to include a custom @DisplayName
for the
@RepeatedTest
method in the display name of each repetition. customDisplayName()
combines a custom display name with a custom pattern and then uses TestInfo
to verify
the format of the generated display name. Repeat!
is the DisplayName
which comes
from the @DisplayName
declaration, and 1/1
comes from
{currentRepetition}/{totalRepetitions}
. In contrast,
customDisplayNameWithLongPattern()
uses the aforementioned predefined
RepeatedTest.LONG_DISPLAY_NAME
pattern.
repeatedTestInGerman()
demonstrates the ability to translate display names of repeated
tests into foreign languages — in this case German, resulting in names for individual
repetitions such as: Wiederholung 1 von 5
, Wiederholung 2 von 5
, etc.
Since the beforeEach()
method is annotated with @BeforeEach
it will get executed
before each repetition of each repeated test. By having the TestInfo
and
RepetitionInfo
injected into the method, we see that it’s possible to obtain
information about the currently executing repeated test. Executing RepeatedTestsDemo
with the INFO
log level enabled results in the following output.
INFO: About to execute repetition 1 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 2 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 3 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 4 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 5 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 6 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 7 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 8 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 9 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 10 of 10 for repeatedTest INFO: About to execute repetition 1 of 5 for repeatedTestWithRepetitionInfo INFO: About to execute repetition 2 of 5 for repeatedTestWithRepetitionInfo INFO: About to execute repetition 3 of 5 for repeatedTestWithRepetitionInfo INFO: About to execute repetition 4 of 5 for repeatedTestWithRepetitionInfo INFO: About to execute repetition 5 of 5 for repeatedTestWithRepetitionInfo INFO: About to execute repetition 1 of 1 for customDisplayName INFO: About to execute repetition 1 of 1 for customDisplayNameWithLongPattern INFO: About to execute repetition 1 of 5 for repeatedTestInGerman INFO: About to execute repetition 2 of 5 for repeatedTestInGerman INFO: About to execute repetition 3 of 5 for repeatedTestInGerman INFO: About to execute repetition 4 of 5 for repeatedTestInGerman INFO: About to execute repetition 5 of 5 for repeatedTestInGerman

2.15. Parameterized Tests
Parameterized tests make it possible to run a test multiple times with different
arguments. They are declared just like regular @Test
methods but use the
@ParameterizedTest
annotation instead. In addition, you must declare at least one
source that will provide the arguments for each invocation and then consume the
arguments in the test method.
The following example demonstrates a parameterized test that uses the @ValueSource
annotation to specify a String
array as the source of arguments.
@ParameterizedTest
@ValueSource(strings = { "racecar", "radar", "able was I ere I saw elba" })
void palindromes(String candidate) {
assertTrue(StringUtils.isPalindrome(candidate));
}
When executing the above parameterized test method, each invocation will be reported
separately. For instance, the ConsoleLauncher
will print output similar to the
following.
palindromes(String) ✔ ├─ [1] candidate=racecar ✔ ├─ [2] candidate=radar ✔ └─ [3] candidate=able was I ere I saw elba ✔
2.15.1. Required Setup
In order to use parameterized tests you need to add a dependency on the
junit-jupiter-params
artifact. Please refer to Dependency Metadata for details.
2.15.2. Consuming Arguments
Parameterized test methods typically consume arguments directly from the configured
source (see Sources of Arguments) following a one-to-one
correlation between argument source index and method parameter index (see examples in
@CsvSource). However, a parameterized test
method may also choose to aggregate arguments from the source into a single object
passed to the method (see Argument Aggregation).
Additional arguments may also be provided by a ParameterResolver
(e.g., to obtain an
instance of TestInfo
, TestReporter
, etc.). Specifically, a parameterized test method
must declare formal parameters according to the following rules.
-
Zero or more indexed arguments must be declared first.
-
Zero or more aggregators must be declared next.
-
Zero or more arguments supplied by a
ParameterResolver
must be declared last.
In this context, an indexed argument is an argument for a given index in the
Arguments
provided by an ArgumentsProvider
that is passed as an argument to the
parameterized method at the same index in the method’s formal parameter list. An
aggregator is any parameter of type ArgumentsAccessor
or any parameter annotated with
@AggregateWith
.
2.15.3. Sources of Arguments
Out of the box, JUnit Jupiter provides quite a few source annotations. Each of the
following subsections provides a brief overview and an example for each of them. Please
refer to the Javadoc in the org.junit.jupiter.params.provider
package for additional
information.
@ValueSource
@ValueSource
is one of the simplest possible sources. It lets you specify a single
array of literal values and can only be used for providing a single argument per
parameterized test invocation.
The following types of literal values are supported by @ValueSource
.
-
short
-
byte
-
int
-
long
-
float
-
double
-
char
-
boolean
-
java.lang.String
-
java.lang.Class
For example, the following @ParameterizedTest
method will be invoked three times, with
the values 1
, 2
, and 3
respectively.
@ParameterizedTest
@ValueSource(ints = { 1, 2, 3 })
void testWithValueSource(int argument) {
assertTrue(argument > 0 && argument < 4);
}
Null and Empty Sources
In order to check corner cases and verify proper behavior of our software when it is
supplied bad input, it can be useful to have null
and empty values supplied to our
parameterized tests. The following annotations serve as sources of null
and empty values
for parameterized tests that accept a single argument.
-
@NullSource
: provides a singlenull
argument to the annotated@ParameterizedTest
method.-
@NullSource
cannot be used for a parameter that has a primitive type.
-
-
@EmptySource
: provides a single empty argument to the annotated@ParameterizedTest
method for parameters of the following types:java.lang.String
,java.util.List
,java.util.Set
,java.util.Map
, primitive arrays (e.g.,int[]
,char[][]
, etc.), object arrays (e.g.,String[]
,Integer[][]
, etc.).-
Subtypes of the supported types are not supported.
-
-
@NullAndEmptySource
: a composed annotation that combines the functionality of@NullSource
and@EmptySource
.
If you need to supply multiple varying types of blank strings to a parameterized test,
you can achieve that using @ValueSource — for example, @ValueSource(strings = {" ", " ", "\t", "\n"})
.
You can also combine @NullSource
, @EmptySource
, and @ValueSource
to test a wider
range of null
, empty, and blank input. The following example demonstrates how to
achieve this for strings.
@ParameterizedTest
@NullSource
@EmptySource
@ValueSource(strings = { " ", " ", "\t", "\n" })
void nullEmptyAndBlankStrings(String text) {
assertTrue(text == null || text.trim().isEmpty());
}
Making use of the composed @NullAndEmptySource
annotation simplifies the above as
follows.
@ParameterizedTest
@NullAndEmptySource
@ValueSource(strings = { " ", " ", "\t", "\n" })
void nullEmptyAndBlankStrings(String text) {
assertTrue(text == null || text.trim().isEmpty());
}
Both variants of the nullEmptyAndBlankStrings(String) parameterized test method
result in six invocations: 1 for null , 1 for the empty string, and 4 for the explicit
blank strings supplied via @ValueSource .
|
@EnumSource
@EnumSource
provides a convenient way to use Enum
constants.
@ParameterizedTest
@EnumSource(ChronoUnit.class)
void testWithEnumSource(TemporalUnit unit) {
assertNotNull(unit);
}
The annotation’s value
attribute is optional. When omitted, the declared type of the
first method parameter is used. The test will fail if it does not reference an enum type.
Thus, the value
attribute is required in the above example because the method parameter
is declared as TemporalUnit
, i.e. the interface implemented by ChronoUnit
, which isn’t
an enum type. Changing the method parameter type to ChronoUnit
allows you to omit the
explicit enum type from the annotation as follows.
@ParameterizedTest
@EnumSource
void testWithEnumSourceWithAutoDetection(ChronoUnit unit) {
assertNotNull(unit);
}
The annotation provides an optional names
attribute that lets you specify which
constants shall be used, like in the following example. If omitted, all constants will be
used.
@ParameterizedTest
@EnumSource(names = { "DAYS", "HOURS" })
void testWithEnumSourceInclude(ChronoUnit unit) {
assertTrue(EnumSet.of(ChronoUnit.DAYS, ChronoUnit.HOURS).contains(unit));
}
The @EnumSource
annotation also provides an optional mode
attribute that enables
fine-grained control over which constants are passed to the test method. For example, you
can exclude names from the enum constant pool or specify regular expressions as in the
following examples.
@ParameterizedTest
@EnumSource(mode = EXCLUDE, names = { "ERAS", "FOREVER" })
void testWithEnumSourceExclude(ChronoUnit unit) {
assertFalse(EnumSet.of(ChronoUnit.ERAS, ChronoUnit.FOREVER).contains(unit));
}
@ParameterizedTest
@EnumSource(mode = MATCH_ALL, names = "^.*DAYS$")
void testWithEnumSourceRegex(ChronoUnit unit) {
assertTrue(unit.name().endsWith("DAYS"));
}
@MethodSource
@MethodSource
allows you to refer to one or more factory methods of the test class
or external classes.
Factory methods within the test class must be static
unless the test class is annotated
with @TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
; whereas, factory methods in external classes
must always be static
. In addition, such factory methods must not accept any arguments.
Each factory method must generate a stream of arguments, and each set of arguments
within the stream will be provided as the physical arguments for individual invocations
of the annotated @ParameterizedTest
method. Generally speaking this translates to a
Stream
of Arguments
(i.e., Stream<Arguments>
); however, the actual concrete return
type can take on many forms. In this context, a "stream" is anything that JUnit can
reliably convert into a Stream
, such as Stream
, DoubleStream
, LongStream
,
IntStream
, Collection
, Iterator
, Iterable
, an array of objects, or an array of
primitives. The "arguments" within the stream can be supplied as an instance of
Arguments
, an array of objects (e.g., Object[]
), or a single value if the
parameterized test method accepts a single argument.
If you only need a single parameter, you can return a Stream
of instances of the
parameter type as demonstrated in the following example.
@ParameterizedTest
@MethodSource("stringProvider")
void testWithExplicitLocalMethodSource(String argument) {
assertNotNull(argument);
}
static Stream<String> stringProvider() {
return Stream.of("apple", "banana");
}
If you do not explicitly provide a factory method name via @MethodSource
, JUnit Jupiter
will search for a factory method that has the same name as the current
@ParameterizedTest
method by convention. This is demonstrated in the following example.
@ParameterizedTest
@MethodSource
void testWithDefaultLocalMethodSource(String argument) {
assertNotNull(argument);
}
static Stream<String> testWithDefaultLocalMethodSource() {
return Stream.of("apple", "banana");
}
Streams for primitive types (DoubleStream
, IntStream
, and LongStream
) are also
supported as demonstrated by the following example.
@ParameterizedTest
@MethodSource("range")
void testWithRangeMethodSource(int argument) {
assertNotEquals(9, argument);
}
static IntStream range() {
return IntStream.range(0, 20).skip(10);
}
If a parameterized test method declares multiple parameters, you need to return a
collection, stream, or array of Arguments
instances or object arrays as shown below
(see the Javadoc for @MethodSource
for further details on supported return types).
Note that arguments(Object…)
is a static factory method defined in the Arguments
interface. In addition, Arguments.of(Object…)
may be used as an alternative to
arguments(Object…)
.
@ParameterizedTest
@MethodSource("stringIntAndListProvider")
void testWithMultiArgMethodSource(String str, int num, List<String> list) {
assertEquals(5, str.length());
assertTrue(num >=1 && num <=2);
assertEquals(2, list.size());
}
static Stream<Arguments> stringIntAndListProvider() {
return Stream.of(
arguments("apple", 1, Arrays.asList("a", "b")),
arguments("lemon", 2, Arrays.asList("x", "y"))
);
}
An external, static
factory method can be referenced by providing its fully
qualified method name as demonstrated in the following example.
package example;
import java.util.stream.Stream;
import org.junit.jupiter.params.ParameterizedTest;
import org.junit.jupiter.params.provider.MethodSource;
class ExternalMethodSourceDemo {
@ParameterizedTest
@MethodSource("example.StringsProviders#tinyStrings")
void testWithExternalMethodSource(String tinyString) {
// test with tiny string
}
}
class StringsProviders {
static Stream<String> tinyStrings() {
return Stream.of(".", "oo", "OOO");
}
}
@CsvSource
@CsvSource
allows you to express argument lists as comma-separated values (i.e.,
String
literals).
@ParameterizedTest
@CsvSource({
"apple, 1",
"banana, 2",
"'lemon, lime', 0xF1"
})
void testWithCsvSource(String fruit, int rank) {
assertNotNull(fruit);
assertNotEquals(0, rank);
}
The default delimiter is a comma (,
), but you can use another character by setting the
delimiter
attribute. Alternatively, the delimiterString
attribute allows you to use a
String
delimiter instead of a single character. However, both delimiter attributes
cannot be set simultaneously.
@CsvSource
uses a single quote '
as its quote character. See the 'lemon, lime'
value
in the example above and in the table below. An empty, quoted value ''
results in an
empty String
unless the emptyValue
attribute is set; whereas, an entirely empty
value is interpreted as a null
reference. By specifying one or more nullValues
, a
custom value can be interpreted as a null
reference (see the NIL
example in the table
below). An ArgumentConversionException
is thrown if the target type of a null
reference is a primitive type.
An unquoted empty value will always be converted to a null reference regardless
of any custom values configured via the nullValues attribute.
|
Example Input | Resulting Argument List |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@CsvFileSource
@CsvFileSource
lets you use CSV files from the classpath or the local file system. Each
line from a CSV file results in one invocation of the parameterized test.
The default delimiter is a comma (,
), but you can use another character by setting the
delimiter
attribute. Alternatively, the delimiterString
attribute allows you to use a
String
delimiter instead of a single character. However, both delimiter attributes
cannot be set simultaneously.
Comments in CSV files
Any line beginning with a # symbol will be interpreted as a comment and will be
ignored.
|
@ParameterizedTest
@CsvFileSource(resources = "/two-column.csv", numLinesToSkip = 1)
void testWithCsvFileSourceFromClasspath(String country, int reference) {
assertNotNull(country);
assertNotEquals(0, reference);
}
@ParameterizedTest
@CsvFileSource(files = "src/test/resources/two-column.csv", numLinesToSkip = 1)
void testWithCsvFileSourceFromFile(String country, int reference) {
assertNotNull(country);
assertNotEquals(0, reference);
}
Country, reference
Sweden, 1
Poland, 2
"United States of America", 3
In contrast to the syntax used in @CsvSource
, @CsvFileSource
uses a double quote "
as the quote character. See the "United States of America"
value in the example above.
An empty, quoted value ""
results in an empty String
unless the emptyValue
attribute
is set; whereas, an entirely empty value is interpreted as a null
reference. By
specifying one or more nullValues
, a custom value can be interpreted as a null
reference. An ArgumentConversionException
is thrown if the target type of a null
reference is a primitive type.
An unquoted empty value will always be converted to a null reference regardless
of any custom values configured via the nullValues attribute.
|
@ArgumentsSource
@ArgumentsSource
can be used to specify a custom, reusable ArgumentsProvider
. Note
that an implementation of ArgumentsProvider
must be declared as either a top-level
class or as a static
nested class.
@ParameterizedTest
@ArgumentsSource(MyArgumentsProvider.class)
void testWithArgumentsSource(String argument) {
assertNotNull(argument);
}
public class MyArgumentsProvider implements ArgumentsProvider {
@Override
public Stream<? extends Arguments> provideArguments(ExtensionContext context) {
return Stream.of("apple", "banana").map(Arguments::of);
}
}
2.15.4. Argument Conversion
Widening Conversion
JUnit Jupiter supports
Widening Primitive
Conversion for arguments supplied to a @ParameterizedTest
. For example, a
parameterized test annotated with @ValueSource(ints = { 1, 2, 3 })
can be declared to
accept not only an argument of type int
but also an argument of type long
, float
,
or double
.
Implicit Conversion
To support use cases like @CsvSource
, JUnit Jupiter provides a number of built-in
implicit type converters. The conversion process depends on the declared type of each
method parameter.
For example, if a @ParameterizedTest
declares a parameter of type TimeUnit
and the
actual type supplied by the declared source is a String
, the string will be
automatically converted into the corresponding TimeUnit
enum constant.
@ParameterizedTest
@ValueSource(strings = "SECONDS")
void testWithImplicitArgumentConversion(ChronoUnit argument) {
assertNotNull(argument.name());
}
String
instances are implicitly converted to the following target types.
Decimal, hexadecimal, and octal String literals will be converted to their
integral types: byte , short , int , long , and their boxed counterparts.
|

Fallback String-to-Object Conversion
In addition to implicit conversion from strings to the target types listed in the above
table, JUnit Jupiter also provides a fallback mechanism for automatic conversion from a
String
to a given target type if the target type declares exactly one suitable factory
method or a factory constructor as defined below.
-
factory method: a non-private,
static
method declared in the target type that accepts a singleString
argument and returns an instance of the target type. The name of the method can be arbitrary and need not follow any particular convention. -
factory constructor: a non-private constructor in the target type that accepts a single
String
argument. Note that the target type must be declared as either a top-level class or as astatic
nested class.
If multiple factory methods are discovered, they will be ignored. If a factory method and a factory constructor are discovered, the factory method will be used instead of the constructor. |
For example, in the following @ParameterizedTest
method, the Book
argument will be
created by invoking the Book.fromTitle(String)
factory method and passing "42 Cats"
as the title of the book.
@ParameterizedTest
@ValueSource(strings = "42 Cats")
void testWithImplicitFallbackArgumentConversion(Book book) {
assertEquals("42 Cats", book.getTitle());
}
public class Book {
private final String title;
private Book(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public static Book fromTitle(String title) {
return new Book(title);
}
public String getTitle() {
return this.title;
}
}
Explicit Conversion
Instead of relying on implicit argument conversion you may explicitly specify an
ArgumentConverter
to use for a certain parameter using the @ConvertWith
annotation
like in the following example. Note that an implementation of ArgumentConverter
must be
declared as either a top-level class or as a static
nested class.
@ParameterizedTest
@EnumSource(ChronoUnit.class)
void testWithExplicitArgumentConversion(
@ConvertWith(ToStringArgumentConverter.class) String argument) {
assertNotNull(ChronoUnit.valueOf(argument));
}
public class ToStringArgumentConverter extends SimpleArgumentConverter {
@Override
protected Object convert(Object source, Class<?> targetType) {
assertEquals(String.class, targetType, "Can only convert to String");
if (source instanceof Enum<?>) {
return ((Enum<?>) source).name();
}
return String.valueOf(source);
}
}
If the converter is only meant to convert one type to another, you can extend
TypedArgumentConverter
to avoid boilerplate type checks.
public class ToLengthArgumentConverter extends TypedArgumentConverter<String, Integer> {
protected ToLengthArgumentConverter() {
super(String.class, Integer.class);
}
@Override
protected Integer convert(String source) {
return source.length();
}
}
Explicit argument converters are meant to be implemented by test and extension authors.
Thus, junit-jupiter-params
only provides a single explicit argument converter that may
also serve as a reference implementation: JavaTimeArgumentConverter
. It is used via the
composed annotation JavaTimeConversionPattern
.
@ParameterizedTest
@ValueSource(strings = { "01.01.2017", "31.12.2017" })
void testWithExplicitJavaTimeConverter(
@JavaTimeConversionPattern("dd.MM.yyyy") LocalDate argument) {
assertEquals(2017, argument.getYear());
}
2.15.5. Argument Aggregation
By default, each argument provided to a @ParameterizedTest
method corresponds to a
single method parameter. Consequently, argument sources which are expected to supply a
large number of arguments can lead to large method signatures.
In such cases, an ArgumentsAccessor
can be used instead of multiple parameters. Using
this API, you can access the provided arguments through a single argument passed to your
test method. In addition, type conversion is supported as discussed in
Implicit Conversion.
@ParameterizedTest
@CsvSource({
"Jane, Doe, F, 1990-05-20",
"John, Doe, M, 1990-10-22"
})
void testWithArgumentsAccessor(ArgumentsAccessor arguments) {
Person person = new Person(arguments.getString(0),
arguments.getString(1),
arguments.get(2, Gender.class),
arguments.get(3, LocalDate.class));
if (person.getFirstName().equals("Jane")) {
assertEquals(Gender.F, person.getGender());
}
else {
assertEquals(Gender.M, person.getGender());
}
assertEquals("Doe", person.getLastName());
assertEquals(1990, person.getDateOfBirth().getYear());
}
An instance of ArgumentsAccessor
is automatically injected into any parameter of type
ArgumentsAccessor
.
Custom Aggregators
Apart from direct access to a @ParameterizedTest
method’s arguments using an
ArgumentsAccessor
, JUnit Jupiter also supports the usage of custom, reusable
aggregators.
To use a custom aggregator, implement the ArgumentsAggregator
interface and register
it via the @AggregateWith
annotation on a compatible parameter in the
@ParameterizedTest
method. The result of the aggregation will then be provided as an
argument for the corresponding parameter when the parameterized test is invoked. Note
that an implementation of ArgumentsAggregator
must be declared as either a top-level
class or as a static
nested class.
@ParameterizedTest
@CsvSource({
"Jane, Doe, F, 1990-05-20",
"John, Doe, M, 1990-10-22"
})
void testWithArgumentsAggregator(@AggregateWith(PersonAggregator.class) Person person) {
// perform assertions against person
}
public class PersonAggregator implements ArgumentsAggregator {
@Override
public Person aggregateArguments(ArgumentsAccessor arguments, ParameterContext context) {
return new Person(arguments.getString(0),
arguments.getString(1),
arguments.get(2, Gender.class),
arguments.get(3, LocalDate.class));
}
}
If you find yourself repeatedly declaring @AggregateWith(MyTypeAggregator.class)
for
multiple parameterized test methods across your codebase, you may wish to create a custom
composed annotation such as @CsvToMyType
that is meta-annotated with
@AggregateWith(MyTypeAggregator.class)
. The following example demonstrates this in
action with a custom @CsvToPerson
annotation.
@ParameterizedTest
@CsvSource({
"Jane, Doe, F, 1990-05-20",
"John, Doe, M, 1990-10-22"
})
void testWithCustomAggregatorAnnotation(@CsvToPerson Person person) {
// perform assertions against person
}
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.PARAMETER)
@AggregateWith(PersonAggregator.class)
public @interface CsvToPerson {
}
2.15.6. Customizing Display Names
By default, the display name of a parameterized test invocation contains the invocation
index and the String
representation of all arguments for that specific invocation.
Each of them is preceded by the parameter name (unless the argument is only available via
an ArgumentsAccessor
or ArgumentAggregator
), if present in the bytecode (for Java,
test code must be compiled with the -parameters
compiler flag).
However, you can customize invocation display names via the name
attribute of the
@ParameterizedTest
annotation like in the following example.
@DisplayName("Display name of container")
@ParameterizedTest(name = "{index} ==> the rank of ''{0}'' is {1}")
@CsvSource({ "apple, 1", "banana, 2", "'lemon, lime', 3" })
void testWithCustomDisplayNames(String fruit, int rank) {
}
When executing the above method using the ConsoleLauncher
you will see output similar to
the following.
Display name of container ✔ ├─ 1 ==> the rank of 'apple' is 1 ✔ ├─ 2 ==> the rank of 'banana' is 2 ✔ └─ 3 ==> the rank of 'lemon, lime' is 3 ✔
Please note that name
is a MessageFormat
pattern. Thus, a single quote ('
) needs to be represented as a doubled single quote (''
) in order to be displayed.
The following placeholders are supported within custom display names.
Placeholder | Description |
---|---|
the display name of the method |
|
|
the current invocation index (1-based) |
|
the complete, comma-separated arguments list |
|
the complete, comma-separated arguments list with parameter names |
|
an individual argument |
When including arguments in display names, their string representations are truncated
if they exceed the configured maximum length. The limit is configurable via the
junit.jupiter.params.displayname.argument.maxlength configuration parameter and defaults
to 512 characters.
|
2.15.7. Lifecycle and Interoperability
Each invocation of a parameterized test has the same lifecycle as a regular @Test
method. For example, @BeforeEach
methods will be executed before each invocation.
Similar to Dynamic Tests, invocations will appear one by one in the
test tree of an IDE. You may at will mix regular @Test
methods and @ParameterizedTest
methods within the same test class.
You may use ParameterResolver
extensions with @ParameterizedTest
methods. However,
method parameters that are resolved by argument sources need to come first in the
argument list. Since a test class may contain regular tests as well as parameterized
tests with different parameter lists, values from argument sources are not resolved for
lifecycle methods (e.g. @BeforeEach
) and test class constructors.
@BeforeEach
void beforeEach(TestInfo testInfo) {
// ...
}
@ParameterizedTest
@ValueSource(strings = "apple")
void testWithRegularParameterResolver(String argument, TestReporter testReporter) {
testReporter.publishEntry("argument", argument);
}
@AfterEach
void afterEach(TestInfo testInfo) {
// ...
}
2.16. Test Templates
A @TestTemplate
method is not a regular test case but rather a template for test
cases. As such, it is designed to be invoked multiple times depending on the number of
invocation contexts returned by the registered providers. Thus, it must be used in
conjunction with a registered TestTemplateInvocationContextProvider
extension. Each
invocation of a test template method behaves like the execution of a regular @Test
method with full support for the same lifecycle callbacks and extensions. Please refer to
Providing Invocation Contexts for Test Templates for usage examples.
Repeated Tests and Parameterized Tests are built-in specializations of test templates. |
2.17. Dynamic Tests
The standard @Test
annotation in JUnit Jupiter described in
Annotations is very similar to the @Test
annotation in JUnit 4. Both
describe methods that implement test cases. These test cases are static in the sense that
they are fully specified at compile time, and their behavior cannot be changed by
anything happening at runtime. Assumptions provide a basic form of dynamic behavior but
are intentionally rather limited in their expressiveness.
In addition to these standard tests a completely new kind of test programming model has
been introduced in JUnit Jupiter. This new kind of test is a dynamic test which is
generated at runtime by a factory method that is annotated with @TestFactory
.
In contrast to @Test
methods, a @TestFactory
method is not itself a test case but
rather a factory for test cases. Thus, a dynamic test is the product of a factory.
Technically speaking, a @TestFactory
method must return a single DynamicNode
or a
Stream
, Collection
, Iterable
, Iterator
, or array of DynamicNode
instances.
Instantiable subclasses of DynamicNode
are DynamicContainer
and DynamicTest
.
DynamicContainer
instances are composed of a display name and a list of dynamic child
nodes, enabling the creation of arbitrarily nested hierarchies of dynamic nodes.
DynamicTest
instances will be executed lazily, enabling dynamic and even
non-deterministic generation of test cases.
Any Stream
returned by a @TestFactory
will be properly closed by calling
stream.close()
, making it safe to use a resource such as Files.lines()
.
As with @Test
methods, @TestFactory
methods must not be private
or static
and may
optionally declare parameters to be resolved by ParameterResolvers
.
A DynamicTest
is a test case generated at runtime. It is composed of a display name
and an Executable
. Executable
is a @FunctionalInterface
which means that the
implementations of dynamic tests can be provided as lambda expressions or method
references.
Dynamic Test Lifecycle
The execution lifecycle of a dynamic test is quite different than it is for a
standard @Test case. Specifically, there are no lifecycle callbacks for individual
dynamic tests. This means that @BeforeEach and @AfterEach methods and their
corresponding extension callbacks are executed for the @TestFactory method but not for
each dynamic test. In other words, if you access fields from the test instance within a
lambda expression for a dynamic test, those fields will not be reset by callback methods
or extensions between the execution of individual dynamic tests generated by the same
@TestFactory method.
|
As of JUnit Jupiter 5.7.2, dynamic tests must always be created by factory methods; however, this might be complemented by a registration facility in a later release.
2.17.1. Dynamic Test Examples
The following DynamicTestsDemo
class demonstrates several examples of test factories
and dynamic tests.
The first method returns an invalid return type. Since an invalid return type cannot be
detected at compile time, a JUnitException
is thrown when it is detected at runtime.
The next five methods are very simple examples that demonstrate the generation of a
Collection
, Iterable
, Iterator
, or Stream
of DynamicTest
instances. Most of
these examples do not really exhibit dynamic behavior but merely demonstrate the
supported return types in principle. However, dynamicTestsFromStream()
and
dynamicTestsFromIntStream()
demonstrate how easy it is to generate dynamic tests for a
given set of strings or a range of input numbers.
The next method is truly dynamic in nature. generateRandomNumberOfTests()
implements an
Iterator
that generates random numbers, a display name generator, and a test executor
and then provides all three to DynamicTest.stream()
. Although the non-deterministic
behavior of generateRandomNumberOfTests()
is of course in conflict with test
repeatability and should thus be used with care, it serves to demonstrate the
expressiveness and power of dynamic tests.
The next method is similar to generateRandomNumberOfTests()
in terms of flexibility;
however, dynamicTestsFromStreamFactoryMethod()
generates a stream of dynamic tests from
an existing Stream
via the DynamicTest.stream()
factory method.
For demonstration purposes, the dynamicNodeSingleTest()
method generates a single

2.17.2. URI Test Sources for Dynamic Tests
The JUnit Platform provides TestSource
, a representation of the source of a test or
container used to navigate to its location by IDEs and build tools.
The TestSource
for a dynamic test or dynamic container can be constructed from a
java.net.URI
which can be supplied via the DynamicTest.dynamicTest(String, URI,
Executable)
or DynamicContainer.dynamicContainer(String, URI, Stream)
factory method,
respectively. The URI
will be converted to one of the following TestSource
implementations.
ClasspathResourceSource
-
If the
URI
contains theclasspath
scheme — for example,classpath:/test/foo.xml?line=20,column=2
. DirectorySource
-
If the
URI
represents a directory present in the file system. FileSource
-
If the
URI
represents a file present in the file system. MethodSource
-
If the
URI
contains themethod
scheme and the fully qualified method name (FQMN) — for example,method:org.junit.Foo#bar(java.lang.String, java.lang.String[])
. Please refer to the Javadoc forDiscoverySelectors.selectMethod(String)
for the supported formats for a FQMN. UriSource
-
If none of the above
TestSource
implementations are applicable.
2.18. Timeouts
The @Timeout
annotation allows one to declare that a test, test factory, test template,
or lifecycle method should fail if its execution time exceeds a given duration. The time
unit for the duration defaults to seconds but is configurable.
The following example shows how @Timeout
is applied to lifecycle and test methods.
class TimeoutDemo {
@BeforeEach
@Timeout(5)
void setUp() {
// fails if execution time exceeds 5 seconds
}
@Test
@Timeout(value = 100, unit = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
void failsIfExecutionTimeExceeds100Milliseconds() {
// fails if execution time exceeds 100 milliseconds
}
}
Contrary to the assertTimeoutPreemptively()
assertion, the execution of the annotated
method proceeds in the main thread of the test. If the timeout is exceeded, the main
thread is interrupted from another thread. This is done to ensure interoperability with
frameworks such as Spring that make use of mechanisms that are sensitive to the currently
running thread — for example, ThreadLocal
transaction management.
To apply the same timeout to all test methods within a test class and all of its @Nested
classes, you can declare the @Timeout
annotation at the class level. It will then be
applied to all test, test factory, and test template methods within that class and its
@Nested
classes unless overridden by a @Timeout
annotation on a specific method or
@Nested
class. Please note that @Timeout
annotations declared at the class level are
not applied to lifecycle methods.
Declaring @Timeout
on a @TestFactory
method checks that the factory method returns
within the specified duration but does not verify the execution time of each individual
DynamicTest
generated by the factory. Please use
assertTimeout()
or assertTimeoutPreemptively()
for that purpose.
If @Timeout
is present on a @TestTemplate
method — for example, a @RepeatedTest
or
@ParameterizedTest
— each invocation will have the given timeout applied to it.
The following configuration parameters can be used to
specify global timeouts for all methods of a certain category unless they or an enclosing
test class is annotated with @Timeout
:
junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.default
-
Default timeout for all testable and lifecycle methods
junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.testable.method.default
-
Default timeout for all testable methods
junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.test.method.default
-
Default timeout for
@Test
methods junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.testtemplate.method.default
-
Default timeout for
@TestTemplate
methods junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.testfactory.method.default
-
Default timeout for
@TestFactory
methods junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.lifecycle.method.default
-
Default timeout for all lifecycle methods
junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.beforeall.method.default
-
Default timeout for
@BeforeAll
methods junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.beforeeach.method.default
-
Default timeout for
@BeforeEach
methods junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.aftereach.method.default
-
Default timeout for
@AfterEach
methods junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.afterall.method.default
-
Default timeout for
@AfterAll
methods
More specific configuration parameters override less specific ones. For example,
junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.test.method.default
overrides
junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.testable.method.default
which overrides
junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.default
.
The values of such configuration parameters must be in the following, case-insensitive
format: <number> [ns|μs|ms|s|m|h|d]
. The space between the number and the unit may be
omitted. Specifying no unit is equivalent to using seconds.

2.18.1. Using @Timeout for Polling Tests
When dealing with asynchronous code, it is common to write tests that poll while waiting
for something to happen before performing any assertions. In some cases you can rewrite
the logic to use a CountDownLatch
or another synchronization mechanism, but sometimes
that is not possible — for example, if the subject under test sends a message to a channel
in an external message broker and assertions cannot be performed until the message has
been successfully sent through the channel. Asynchronous tests like these require some
form of timeout to ensure they don’t hang the test suite by executing indefinitely, as
would be the case if an asynchronous message never gets successfully delivered.
By configuring a timeout for an asynchronous test that polls, you can ensure that the test
does not execute indefinitely. The following example demonstrates how to achieve this with
JUnit Jupiter’s @Timeout
annotation. This technique can be used to implement "poll
until" logic very easily.
@Test
@Timeout(5) // Poll at most 5 seconds
void pollUntil() throws InterruptedException {
while (asynchronousResultNotAvailable()) {
Thread.sleep(250); // custom poll interval
}
// Obtain the asynchronous result and perform assertions
}
If you need more control over polling intervals and greater flexibility with asynchronous tests, consider using a dedicated library such as Awaitility. |
2.18.2. Disable @Timeout Globally
When stepping through your code in a debug session, a fixed timeout limit may influence the result of the test, e.g. mark the test as failed although all assertions were met.
JUnit Jupiter supports the junit.jupiter.execution.timeout.mode
configuration parameter
to configure when timeouts are applied. There are three modes: enabled
, disabled
,
and disabled_on_debug
. The default mode is enabled
.
A VM runtime is considered to run in debug mode when one of its input parameters starts
with -agentlib:jdwp
. This heuristic is queried by the disabled_on_debug
mode.
2.19. Parallel Execution
Parallel test execution is an experimental feature
You’re invited to give it a try and provide feedback to the JUnit team so they
can improve and eventually promote this feature.
|
By default, JUnit Jupiter tests are run sequentially in a single thread. Running tests in
parallel — for example, to speed up execution — is available as an opt-in feature since
version 5.3. To enable parallel execution, set the
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.enabled
configuration parameter to true
— for
example, in junit-platform.properties
(see Configuration Parameters for other
options).
Please note that enabling this property is only the first step required to execute tests in parallel. If enabled, test classes and methods will still be executed sequentially by default. Whether or not a node in the test tree is executed concurrently is controlled by its execution mode. The following two modes are available.
SAME_THREAD
-
Force execution in the same thread used by the parent. For example, when used on a test method, the test method will be executed in the same thread as any
@BeforeAll
or@AfterAll
methods of the containing test class. CONCURRENT
-
Execute concurrently unless a resource lock forces execution in the same thread.
By default, nodes in the test tree use the SAME_THREAD
execution mode. You can change
the default by setting the junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.default
configuration
parameter. Alternatively, you can use the @Execution
annotation to change the
execution mode for the annotated element and its subelements (if any) which allows you to
activate parallel execution for individual test classes, one by one.
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.enabled = true
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.default = concurrent
The default execution mode is applied to all nodes of the test tree with a few notable
exceptions, namely test classes that use the Lifecycle.PER_CLASS
mode or a
MethodOrderer
(except for Random
). In the former case, test authors have to
ensure that the test class is thread-safe; in the latter, concurrent execution might
conflict with the configured execution order. Thus, in both cases, test methods in such
test classes are only executed concurrently if the @Execution(CONCURRENT)
annotation is
present on the test class or method.
All nodes of the test tree that are configured with the CONCURRENT
execution mode will
be executed fully in parallel according to the provided
configuration while observing the
declarative synchronization
mechanism. Please note that Capturing Standard Output/Error needs to be enabled
separately.
In addition, you can configure the default execution mode for top-level classes by setting
the junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.classes.default
configuration parameter. By
combining both configuration parameters, you can configure classes to run in parallel but
their methods in the same thread:
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.enabled = true
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.default = same_thread
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.classes.default = concurrent
The opposite combination will run all methods within one class in parallel, but top-level classes will run sequentially:
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.enabled = true
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.default = concurrent
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.classes.default = same_thread
The following diagram illustrates how the execution of two top-level test classes A
and
B
with two test methods per class behaves for all four combinations of
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.default
and
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.classes.default
(see labels in first column).
If the junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.classes.default
configuration parameter is
not explicitly set, the value for junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.mode.default
will be
used instead.
2.19.1. Configuration
Properties such as the desired parallelism and the maximum pool size can be configured
using a ParallelExecutionConfigurationStrategy
. The JUnit Platform provides two
implementations out of the box: dynamic
and fixed
. Alternatively, you may implement a
custom
strategy.
To select a strategy, set the junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.config.strategy
configuration parameter to one of the following options.
dynamic
-
Computes the desired parallelism based on the number of available processors/cores multiplied by the
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.config.dynamic.factor
configuration parameter (defaults to1
). fixed
-
Uses the mandatory
junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.config.fixed.parallelism
configuration parameter as the desired parallelism. custom
-
Allows you to specify a custom
ParallelExecutionConfigurationStrategy
implementation via the mandatoryjunit.jupiter.execution.parallel.config.custom.class
configuration parameter to determine the desired configuration.
If no configuration strategy is set, JUnit Jupiter uses the dynamic
configuration
strategy with a factor of 1
. Consequently, the desired parallelism will be equal to the
number of available processors/cores.
Parallelism does not imply maximum number of concurrent threads
JUnit Jupiter does not guarantee that the number of concurrently executing tests
will not exceed the configured parallelism. For example, when using one of the
synchronization mechanisms described in the next section, the ForkJoinPool that is used
behind the scenes may spawn additional threads to ensure execution continues with
sufficient parallelism. Thus, if you require such guarantees in a test class, please use
your own means of controlling concurrency.
|
2.19.2. Synchronization
In addition to controlling the execution mode using the @Execution
annotation, JUnit
Jupiter provides another annotation-based declarative synchronization mechanism. The
@ResourceLock
annotation allows you to declare that a test class or method uses a
specific shared resource that requires synchronized access to ensure reliable test
execution. The shared resource is identified by a unique name which is a String
. The
name can be user-defined or one of the predefined constants in Resources
:
SYSTEM_PROPERTIES
, SYSTEM_OUT
, SYSTEM_ERR
, LOCALE
, or TIME_ZONE
.
If the tests in the following example were run in parallel without the use of @ResourceLock, they would be flaky. Sometimes they would pass, and at other times they would fail due to the inherent race condition of writing and then reading the same JVM System Property.
When access to shared resources is declared using the @ResourceLock
annotation, the
JUnit Jupiter engine uses this information to ensure that no conflicting tests are run in
parallel.
Running tests in isolation
If most of your test classes can be run in parallel without any synchronization but you
have some test classes that need to run in isolation, you can mark the latter with the
|
In addition to the String
that uniquely identifies the shared resource, you may specify
an access mode. Two tests that require READ
access to a shared resource may run in
parallel with each other but not while any other test that requires READ_WRITE
access
to the same shared resource is running.
@Execution(CONCURRENT)
class SharedResourcesDemo {
private Properties backup;
@BeforeEach
void backup() {
backup = new Properties();
backup.putAll(System.getProperties());
}
@AfterEach
void restore() {
System.setProperties(backup);
}
@Test
@ResourceLock(value = SYSTEM_PROPERTIES, mode = READ)
void customPropertyIsNotSetByDefault() {
assertNull(System.getProperty("my.prop"));
}
@Test
@ResourceLock(value = SYSTEM_PROPERTIES, mode = READ_WRITE)
void canSetCustomPropertyToApple() {
System.setProperty("my.prop", "apple");
assertEquals("apple", System.getProperty("my.prop"));
}
@Test
@ResourceLock(value = SYSTEM_PROPERTIES, mode = READ_WRITE)
void canSetCustomPropertyToBanana() {
System.setProperty("my.prop", "banana");
assertEquals("banana", System.getProperty("my.prop"));
}
}
2.20. Built-in Extensions
While the JUnit team encourages reusable extensions to be packaged and maintained in separate libraries, the JUnit Jupiter API artifact includes a few user-facing extension implementations that are considered so generally useful that users shouldn’t have to add another dependency.
2.20.1. The TempDirectory Extension
@TempDir is an experimental feature |
The built-in TempDirectory
extension is used to create and clean up a temporary
directory for an individual test or all tests in a test class. It is registered by
default. To use it, annotate a non-private field of type java.nio.file.Path
or
java.io.File
with @TempDir
or add a parameter of type java.nio.file.Path
or
java.io.File
annotated with @TempDir
to a lifecycle method or test method.
For example, the following test declares a parameter annotated with @TempDir
for a
single test method, creates and writes to a file in the temporary directory, and checks
its content.
@Test
void writeItemsToFile(@TempDir Path tempDir) throws IOException {
Path file = tempDir.resolve("test.txt");
new ListWriter(file).write("a", "b", "c");
assertEquals(singletonList("a,b,c"), Files.readAllLines(file));
}
@TempDir is not supported on constructor parameters. If you wish to retain a
single reference to a temp directory across lifecycle methods and the current test method,
please use field injection, by annotating a non-private instance field with @TempDir .
|
The following example stores a shared temporary directory in a static
field. This
allows the same sharedTempDir
to be used in all lifecycle methods and test methods of
the test class.
class SharedTempDirectoryDemo {
@TempDir
static Path sharedTempDir;
@Test
void writeItemsToFile() throws IOException {
Path file = sharedTempDir.resolve("test.txt");
new ListWriter(file).write("a", "b", "c");
assertEquals(singletonList("a,b,c"), Files.readAllLines(file));
}
@Test
void anotherTestThatUsesTheSameTempDir() {
// use sharedTempDir
}
}
3. Migrating from JUnit 4
Although the JUnit Jupiter programming model and extension model will not support JUnit 4
features such as Rules
and Runners
natively, it is not expected that source code
maintainers will need to update all of their existing tests, test extensions, and custom
build test infrastructure to migrate to JUnit Jupiter.
Instead, JUnit provides a gentle migration path via a JUnit Vintage test engine which
allows existing tests based on JUnit 3 and JUnit 4 to be executed using the JUnit
Platform infrastructure. Since all classes and annotations specific to JUnit Jupiter
reside under a new org.junit.jupiter
base package, having both JUnit 4 and JUnit
Jupiter in the classpath does not lead to any conflicts. It is therefore safe to maintain
existing JUnit 4 tests alongside JUnit Jupiter tests. Furthermore, since the JUnit team
will continue to provide maintenance and bug fix releases for the JUnit 4.x baseline,
developers have plenty of time to migrate to JUnit Jupiter on their own schedule.
3.1. Running JUnit 4 Tests on the JUnit Platform
Just make sure that the junit-vintage-engine
artifact is in your test runtime path. In
that case JUnit 3 and JUnit 4 tests will automatically be picked up by the JUnit Platform
launcher.
See the example projects in the junit5-samples
repository to
find out how this is done with Gradle and Maven.
3.1.1. Categories Support
For test classes or methods that are annotated with @Category
, the JUnit Vintage test
engine exposes the category’s fully qualified class name as a tag of the corresponding
test identifier. For example, if a test method is annotated with
@Category(Example.class)
, it will be tagged with "com.acme.Example"
. Similar to the
Categories
runner in JUnit 4, this information can be used to filter the discovered
tests before executing them (see Running Tests for details).
3.2. Migration Tips
The following are topics that you should be aware of when migrating existing JUnit 4 tests to JUnit Jupiter.
-
Annotations reside in the
org.junit.jupiter.api
package. -
Assertions reside in
org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions
. -
Assumptions reside in
org.junit.jupiter.api.Assumptions
.-
Note that JUnit Jupiter 5.4 and later versions support methods from JUnit 4’s
org.junit.Assume
class for assumptions. Specifically, JUnit Jupiter supports JUnit 4’sAssumptionViolatedException
to signal that a test should be aborted instead of marked as a failure.
-
-
@Before
and@After
no longer exist; use@BeforeEach
and@AfterEach
instead. -

See also Limited JUnit 4 Rule Support.
-
3.3. Limited JUnit 4 Rule Support
As stated above, JUnit Jupiter does not and will not support JUnit 4 rules natively. The JUnit team realizes, however, that many organizations, especially large ones, are likely to have large JUnit 4 code bases that make use of custom rules. To serve these organizations and enable a gradual migration path the JUnit team has decided to support a selection of JUnit 4 rules verbatim within JUnit Jupiter. This support is based on adapters and is limited to those rules that are semantically compatible to the JUnit Jupiter extension model, i.e. those that do not completely change the overall execution flow of the test.
The junit-jupiter-migrationsupport
module from JUnit Jupiter currently supports the
following three Rule
types including subclasses of these types:
-
org.junit.rules.ExternalResource
(includingorg.junit.rules.TemporaryFolder
) -
org.junit.rules.Verifier
(includingorg.junit.rules.ErrorCollector
) -
org.junit.rules.ExpectedException
As in JUnit 4, Rule-annotated fields as well as methods are supported. By using these
class-level extensions on a test class such Rule
implementations in legacy code bases
can be left unchanged including the JUnit 4 rule import statements.
This limited form of Rule
support can be switched on by the class-level annotation
@EnableRuleMigrationSupport
. This annotation is a composed annotation which enables
all rule migration support extensions: VerifierSupport
, ExternalResourceSupport
, and
ExpectedExceptionSupport
. You may alternatively choose to annotate your test class with
@EnableJUnit4MigrationSupport
which registers migration support for rules and JUnit
4’s @Ignore
annotation (see JUnit 4 @Ignore Support).
However, if you intend to develop a new extension for JUnit 5 please use the new extension model of JUnit Jupiter instead of the rule-based model of JUnit 4.
3.4. JUnit 4 @Ignore Support
In order to provide a smooth migration path from JUnit 4 to JUnit Jupiter, the
junit-jupiter-migrationsupport
module provides support for JUnit 4’s @Ignore
annotation analogous to Jupiter’s @Disabled
annotation.
To use @Ignore
with JUnit Jupiter based tests, configure a test dependency on the
junit-jupiter-migrationsupport
module in your build and then annotate your test class
with @ExtendWith(IgnoreCondition.class)
or @EnableJUnit4MigrationSupport
(which
automatically registers the IgnoreCondition
along with
Limited JUnit 4 Rule Support). The IgnoreCondition
is an
ExecutionCondition
that disables test classes or test methods that are annotated with
@Ignore
.
import org.junit.Ignore;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.migrationsupport.EnableJUnit4MigrationSupport;
// @ExtendWith(IgnoreCondition.class)
@EnableJUnit4MigrationSupport
class IgnoredTestsDemo {
@Ignore
@Test
void testWillBeIgnored() {
}
@Test
void testWillBeExecuted() {
}
}
4. Running Tests
4.1. IDE Support
4.1.1. IntelliJ IDEA
IntelliJ IDEA supports running tests on the JUnit Platform since version 2016.2. For
details please see the
post on the
IntelliJ IDEA blog. Note, however, that it is recommended to use IDEA 2017.3 or newer
since these newer versions of IDEA will download the following JARs automatically based
on the API version used in the project: junit-platform-launcher
,
junit-jupiter-engine
, and junit-vintage-engine
.
IntelliJ IDEA releases prior to IDEA 2017.3 bundle specific versions of JUnit 5. Thus, if you want to use a newer version of JUnit Jupiter, execution of tests within the IDE might fail due to version conflicts. In such cases, please follow the instructions below to use a newer version of JUnit 5 than the one bundled with IntelliJ IDEA. |
In order to use a different JUnit 5 version (e.g., 5.7.2), you may need to
include the corresponding versions of the junit-platform-launcher
,
junit-jupiter-engine
, and junit-vintage-engine
JARs in the classpath.
// Only needed to run tests in a version of IntelliJ IDEA that bundles older versions

If you are using an editor or IDE other than one of those listed in the previous sections, the JUnit team provides two alternative solutions to assist you in using JUnit 5. You can use the Console Launcher manually — for example, from the command line — or execute tests with a JUnit 4 based Runner if your IDE has built-in support for JUnit 4.
4.2. Build Support
4.2.1. Gradle
The JUnit Platform Gradle Plugin has been discontinued
The |
Starting with version 4.6, Gradle provides
native support
for executing tests on the JUnit Platform. To enable it, you just need to specify
useJUnitPlatform()
within a test
task declaration in build.gradle
:
test {
useJUnitPlatform()
}
Filtering by tags or engines is also supported:
test {
useJUnitPlatform {
includeTags 'fast', 'smoke & feature-a'
// excludeTags 'slow', 'ci'
includeEngines 'junit-jupiter'
// excludeEngines 'junit-vintage'
}
}
Please refer to the official Gradle documentation for a comprehensive list of options.
Configuration Parameters
The standard Gradle test
task currently does not provide a dedicated DSL to set JUnit
Platform configuration parameters to influence test
discovery and execution. However, you can provide configuration parameters within the
build script via system properties (as shown below) or via the
junit-platform.properties
file.
test {
// ...
systemProperty 'junit.jupiter.conditions.deactivate', '*'
systemProperties = [
'junit.jupiter.extensions.autodetection.enabled': 'true',
'junit.jupiter.testinstance.lifecycle.default': 'per_class'
]
// ...
}
Configuring Test Engines
In order to run any tests at all, a TestEngine
implementation must be on the classpath.
To configure support for JUnit Jupiter based tests, configure a testImplementation
dependency
on the JUnit Jupiter API and a testRuntimeOnly
dependency on the JUnit Jupiter TestEngine
implementation similar to the following.
dependencies {
testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.7.2")
testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.7.2")
}
The JUnit Platform can run JUnit 4 based tests as long as you configure a testImplementation
dependency on JUnit 4 and a testRuntimeOnly
dependency on the JUnit Vintage TestEngine
implementation similar to the following.
dependencies {
testImplementation("junit:junit:4.13")
testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.vintage:junit-vintage-engine:5.7.2")
}
Configuring Logging (optional)
JUnit uses the Java Logging APIs in the java.util.logging
package (a.k.a. JUL) to
emit warnings and debug information. Please refer to the official documentation of
LogManager
for configuration options.
Alternatively, it’s possible to redirect log messages to other logging frameworks such as
Log4j or Logback. To use a logging framework that provides a custom implementation of
LogManager
, set the java.util.logging.manager
system property to the fully
qualified class name of the LogManager
implementation to use. The example below
demonstrates how to configure Log4j 2.x (see Log4j JDK Logging Adapter for
details).
test {
systemProperty 'java.util.logging.manager', 'org.apache.logging.log4j.jul.LogManager'
}
Other logging frameworks provide different means to redirect messages logged using
java.util.logging
. For example, for Logback you can use the
JUL to SLF4J Bridge by adding an
additional dependency to the runtime classpath.
4.2.2. Maven
The JUnit Platform Maven Surefire Provider has been discontinued
The |
Starting with version 2.22.0, Maven
Surefire and Maven Failsafe provide
native support
for executing tests on the JUnit Platform. The pom.xml
file in the
junit5-jupiter-starter-maven
project demonstrates how to use the Maven Surefire plugin
and can serve as a starting point for configuring your Maven build.
Configuring Test Engines
In order to have Maven Surefire or Maven Failsafe run any tests at all, at least one
TestEngine
implementation must be added to the test classpath.
To configure support for JUnit Jupiter based tests, configure test
scoped dependencies
on the JUnit Jupiter API and the JUnit Jupiter TestEngine
implementation similar to the
following.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.2</version>

Maven Surefire and Maven Failsafe can run JUnit 4 based tests alongside Jupiter tests as
long as you configure test
scoped dependencies on JUnit 4 and the JUnit Vintage
TestEngine
implementation similar to the following.

Filtering by Test Class Names
The Maven Surefire Plugin will scan for test classes whose fully qualified names match the following patterns.
-
**/Test*.java
-
**/*Test.java
-
**/*Tests.java
-
**/*TestCase.java
Moreover, it will exclude all nested classes (including static member classes) by default.
Note, however, that you can override this default behavior by configuring explicit
include
and exclude
rules in your pom.xml
file. For example, to keep Maven Surefire
from excluding static member classes, you can override its exclude rules as follows.
<!-- ... -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.2</version>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude/>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<!-- ... -->
Please see the Inclusions and Exclusions of Tests documentation for Maven Surefire for details.
Filtering by Tags
You can filter tests by tags or tag expressions using the following configuration properties.
-
to include tags or tag expressions, use
groups
. -
to exclude tags or tag expressions, use
excludedGroups
.
<!-- ... -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

<configuration>
<groups>acceptance | !feature-a</groups>
<excludedGroups>integration, regression</excludedGroups>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<!-- ... -->
Configuration Parameters
You can set JUnit Platform configuration parameters to
influence test discovery and execution by declaring the configurationParameters
property and providing key-value pairs using the Java Properties
file syntax (as shown
below) or via the junit-platform.properties
file.
<!-- ... -->

4.2.3. Ant
Starting with version 1.10.3
of Ant, a new
junitlauncher
task has
been introduced to provide native support for launching tests on the JUnit Platform. The
junitlauncher
task is solely responsible for launching the JUnit Platform and passing
it the selected collection of tests. The JUnit Platform then delegates to registered test
engines to discover and execute the tests.
The junitlauncher
task attempts to align as close as possible with native Ant
constructs such as
resource collections
for allowing users to select the tests that they want executed by test engines. This
gives the task a consistent and natural feel when compared to many other core Ant tasks.
Starting with version 1.10.6
of Ant, the junitlauncher
task supports
forking the tests in a separate JVM.
The build.xml
file in the junit5-jupiter-starter-ant
project demonstrates how to use
the task and can serve as a starting point.
Basic Usage
The following example demonstrates how to configure the junitlauncher
task to select a
single test class (i.e., org.myapp.test.MyFirstJUnit5Test
).
<path id="test.classpath">
<!-- The location where you have your compiled classes -->
<pathelement location="${build.classes.dir}" />
</path>
<!-- ... -->
<junitlauncher>
<classpath refid="test.classpath" />
<test name="org.myapp.test.MyFirstJUnit5Test" />
</junitlauncher>
The test
element allows you to specify a single test class that you want to be selected
and executed. The classpath
element allows you to specify the classpath to be used to
launch the JUnit Platform. This classpath will also be used to locate test classes that
are part of the execution.
The following example demonstrates how to configure the junitlauncher
task to select
test classes from multiple locations.
<path id="test.classpath">
<!-- The location where you have your compiled classes -->
<pathelement location="${build.classes.dir}" />
</path>
<!-- ... -->
<junitlauncher>
<classpath refid="test.classpath" />
<testclasses outputdir="${output.dir}">
<fileset dir="${build.classes.dir}">
<include name="org/example/**/demo/**/" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${some.other.dir}">
<include name="org/myapp/**/" />
</fileset>
</testclasses>
</junitlauncher>
In the above example, the testclasses
element allows you to select multiple test
classes that reside in different locations.
For further details on usage and configuration options please refer to the official Ant
documentation for the
junitlauncher
task.
4.3. Console Launcher
The ConsoleLauncher
is a command-line Java application that lets you launch the JUnit
Platform from the console. For example, it can be used to run JUnit Vintage and JUnit
Jupiter tests and print test execution results to the console.
An executable junit-platform-console-standalone-1.7.2.jar
with all
dependencies included is published in the Maven Central repository under the
junit-platform-console-standalone
directory. You can run
the standalone ConsoleLauncher
as shown below.
java -jar junit-platform-console-standalone-1.7.2.jar <Options>
Here’s an example of its output:
├─ JUnit Vintage │ └─ example.JUnit4Tests │ └─ standardJUnit4Test ✔ └─ JUnit Jupiter ├─ StandardTests │ ├─ succeedingTest() ✔ │ └─ skippedTest() ↷ for demonstration purposes └─ A special test case ├─ Custom test name containing spaces ✔ ├─ ╯°□°)╯ ✔ └─ 😱 ✔ Test run finished after 64 ms [ 5 containers found ] [ 0 containers skipped ] [ 5 containers started ] [ 0 containers aborted ] [ 5 containers successful ] [ 0 containers failed ] [ 6 tests found ] [ 1 tests skipped ] [ 5 tests started ] [ 0 tests aborted ] [ 5 tests successful ] [ 0 tests failed ]
Exit Code
The ConsoleLauncher exits with a status code of 1 if any containers or tests
failed. If no tests are discovered and the --fail-if-no-tests command-line option is
supplied, the ConsoleLauncher exits with a status code of 2 . Otherwise the exit code
is 0 .
|
4.3.1. Options
Usage: ConsoleLauncher [-h] [--disable-ansi-colors] [--disable-banner] [--fail-if-no-tests] [--scan-modules] [--scan-classpath[=PATH[;|: PATH...]]]... [--details=MODE] [--details-theme=THEME] [--reports-dir=DIR] [-c=CLASS]... [--config=KEY=VALUE]... [-cp=PATH [;|:PATH...]]... [-d=DIR]... [-e=ID]... [-E=ID]... [--exclude-package=PKG]... [-f=FILE]... [--include-package=PKG]... [-m=NAME]... [-n=PATTERN]... [-N=PATTERN]... [-o=NAME]... [-p=PKG]... [-r=RESOURCE]... [-t=TAG]... [-T=TAG]... [-u=URI]... Launches the JUnit Platform from the console. -h, --help Display help information. --disable-ansi-colors Disable ANSI colors in output (not supported by all terminals). --disable-banner Disable print out of the welcome message. --details=MODE Select an output details mode for when tests are executed. Use one of: none, summary, flat, tree, verbose. If 'none' is selected, then only the summary and test failures are shown. Default: tree. --details-theme=THEME Select an output details tree theme for when tests are executed. Use one of: ascii, unicode. Default: unicode. -cp, --classpath, --class-path=PATH[;|:PATH...] Provide additional classpath entries -- for example, for adding engines and their dependencies.

When this option is repeated, all patterns will be combined using OR semantics. Default: [^(Test.*|.+[.$] Test.*|.*Tests?)$] -N, --exclude-classname=PATTERN Provide a regular expression to exclude those classes whose fully qualified names match. When this option is repeated, all patterns will be combined using OR semantics. --include-package=PKG Provide a package to be included in the test run. This option can be repeated. --exclude-package=PKG Provide a package to be excluded from the test run. This option can be repeated. -t, --include-tag=TAG Provide a tag or tag expression to include only tests whose tags match. When this option is repeated, all patterns will be combined using OR semantics. -T, --exclude-tag=TAG Provide a tag or tag expression to exclude those tests whose tags match. When this option is repeated, all patterns will be combined using OR semantics. -e, --include-engine=ID Provide the ID of an engine to be included in the test run. This option can be repeated. -E, --exclude-engine=ID Provide the ID of an engine to be excluded from the test run. This option can be repeated. --config=KEY=VALUE Set a configuration parameter for test discovery and execution. This option can be repeated.
4.3.2. Argument Files (@-files)
On some platforms you may run into system limitations on the length of a command line when creating a command line with lots of options or with long arguments.
Since version 1.3, the ConsoleLauncher
supports argument files, also known as
@-files. Argument files are files that themselves contain arguments to be passed to the
command. When the underlying picocli command line
parser encounters an argument beginning with the character @
, it expands the contents
of that file into the argument list.
The arguments within a file can be separated by spaces or newlines. If an argument
contains embedded whitespace, the whole argument should be wrapped in double or single
quotes — for example, "-f=My Files/Stuff.java"
.
If the argument file does not exist or cannot be read, the argument will be treated
literally and will not be removed. This will likely result in an "unmatched argument"
error message. You can troubleshoot such errors by executing the command with the
picocli.trace
system property set to DEBUG
.
Multiple @-files may be specified on the command line. The specified path may be relative to the current directory or absolute.
You can pass a real parameter with an initial @
character by escaping it with an
additional @
symbol. For example, @@somearg
will become @somearg
and will not be
subject to expansion.
4.4. Using JUnit 4 to run the JUnit Platform
The JUnitPlatform
runner is a JUnit 4 based Runner
which enables you to run any test
whose programming model is supported on the JUnit Platform in a JUnit 4 environment — for example, a JUnit Jupiter test class.
Annotating a class with @RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
allows it to be run with IDEs and
build systems that support JUnit 4 but do not yet support the JUnit Platform directly.
Since the JUnit Platform has features that JUnit 4 does not have, the runner is
only able to support a subset of the JUnit Platform functionality, especially with regard
to reporting (see Display Names vs. Technical Names). But for the
time being the JUnitPlatform runner is an easy way to get started.
|
4.4.1. Setup
You need the following artifacts and their dependencies on the classpath. See Dependency Metadata for details regarding group IDs, artifact IDs, and versions.
Explicit Dependencies
-
junit-platform-runner
in test scope: location of theJUnitPlatform
runner -
junit-4.13.jar
in test scope: to run tests using JUnit 4 -
junit-jupiter-api
in test scope: API for writing tests using JUnit Jupiter, including@Test
, etc. -
junit-jupiter-engine
in test runtime scope: implementation of theTestEngine
API for JUnit Jupiter
4.4.2. Display Names vs. Technical Names
To define a custom display name for the class run via @RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
simply annotate the class with @SuiteDisplayName
and provide a custom value.
By default, display names will be used for test artifacts; however, when the
JUnitPlatform
runner is used to execute tests with a build tool such as Gradle or
Maven, the generated test report often needs to include the technical names of test
artifacts — for example, fully qualified class names — instead of shorter display names
like the simple name of a test class or a custom display name containing special
characters. To enable technical names for reporting purposes, simply declare the
@UseTechnicalNames
annotation alongside @RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
.
Note that the presence of @UseTechnicalNames
overrides any custom display name
configured via @SuiteDisplayName
.
4.4.3. Single Test Class
One way to use the JUnitPlatform
runner is to annotate a test class with
@RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
directly. Please note that the test methods in the
following example are annotated with org.junit.jupiter.api.Test
(JUnit Jupiter), not
org.junit.Test
(JUnit 4). Moreover, in this case the test class must be public
;
otherwise, some IDEs and build tools might not recognize it as a JUnit 4 test class.
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.fail;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.platform.runner.JUnitPlatform;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
@RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
public class JUnitPlatformClassDemo {
@Test
void succeedingTest() {
/* no-op */
}
@Test
void failingTest() {
fail("Failing for failing's sake.");
}
}
4.4.4. Test Suite
If you have multiple test classes you can create a test suite as can be seen in the following example.
import org.junit.platform.runner.JUnitPlatform;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.SelectPackages;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.SuiteDisplayName;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
@RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
@SuiteDisplayName("JUnit Platform Suite Demo")
@SelectPackages("example")
public class JUnitPlatformSuiteDemo {
}
The JUnitPlatformSuiteDemo
will discover and run all tests in the example
package and
its subpackages. By default, it will only include test classes whose names either begin
with Test
or end with Test
or Tests
.
Additional Configuration Options
There are more configuration options for discovering and filtering tests than just
@SelectPackages . Please consult the Javadoc of the org.junit.platform.suite.api package for
further details.
|
Test classes and suites annotated with @RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)
cannot be executed directly on the JUnit Platform (or as a "JUnit 5" test as
documented in some IDEs). Such classes and suites can only be executed using JUnit 4
infrastructure.
|
4.5. Configuration Parameters
In addition to instructing the platform which test classes and test engines to include,
which packages to scan, etc., it is sometimes necessary to provide additional custom
configuration parameters that are specific to a particular test engine or registered
extension. For example, the JUnit Jupiter TestEngine
supports configuration
parameters for the following use cases.
Configuration Parameters are text-based key-value pairs that can be supplied to test engines running on the JUnit Platform via one of the following mechanisms.
-
The
configurationParameter()
andconfigurationParameters()
methods in theLauncherDiscoveryRequestBuilder
which is used to build a request supplied to theLauncher
API. When running tests via one of the tools provided by the JUnit Platform you can specify configuration parameters as follows:-
Console Launcher: use the
--config
command-line option. -
Gradle: use the
systemProperty
orsystemProperties
DSL. -
Maven Surefire provider: use the
configurationParameters
property.
-
-
JVM system properties.
-
The JUnit Platform configuration file: a file named
junit-platform.properties
in the root of the class path that follows the syntax rules for a JavaProperties
file.
Configuration parameters are looked up in the exact order defined above.
Consequently, configuration parameters supplied directly to the Launcher take
precedence over those supplied via system properties and the configuration file.
Similarly, configuration parameters supplied via system properties take precedence over
those supplied via the configuration file.
|
4.5.1. Pattern Matching Syntax
This section describes the pattern matching syntax that is applied to the configuration parameters used for the following features.
If the value for the given configuration parameter consists solely of an asterisk
(*
), the pattern will match against all candidate classes. Otherwise, the value will
be treated as a comma-separated list of patterns where each pattern will be matched
against the fully qualified class name (FQCN) of each candidate class. Any dot (.
) in
a pattern will match against a dot (.
) or a dollar sign ($
) in a FQCN. Any asterisk
(*
) will match against one or more characters in a FQCN. All other characters in a
pattern will be matched one-to-one against a FQCN.
Examples:
-
*
: matches all candidate classes. -
org.junit.*
: matches all candidate classes under theorg.junit
base package and any of its subpackages. -
*.MyCustomImpl
: matches every candidate class whose simple class name is exactlyMyCustomImpl
. -
*System*
: matches every candidate class whose FQCN containsSystem
. -
*System*+, +*Unit*
: matches every candidate class whose FQCN containsSystem
orUnit
. -
org.example.MyCustomImpl
: matches the candidate class whose FQCN is exactlyorg.example.MyCustomImpl
. -
org.example.MyCustomImpl, org.example.TheirCustomImpl
: matches candidate classes whose FQCN is exactlyorg.example.MyCustomImpl
ororg.example.TheirCustomImpl
.
4.6. Tag Expressions
Tag expressions are boolean expressions with the operators !
, &
and |
. In addition,
(
and )
can be used to adjust for operator precedence.
Two special expressions are supported, any()
and none()
, which select all tests with
any tags at all, and all tests without any tags, respectively.
These special expressions may be combined with other expressions just like normal tags.
Operator | Meaning | Associativity |
---|---|---|
|
not |
right |
|
and |
left |
|
or |
left |
If you are tagging your tests across multiple dimensions, tag expressions help you to select which tests to execute. When tagging by test type (e.g., micro, integration, end-to-end) and feature (e.g., product, catalog, shipping), the following tag expressions can be useful.
Tag Expression | Selection |
---|---|
product |
all tests for product |
catalog | shipping |
all tests for catalog plus all tests for shipping |
catalog & shipping |
all tests for the intersection between catalog and shipping |
product & !end-to-end |
all tests for product, but not the end-to-end tests |
(micro | integration) & (product | shipping) |
all micro or integration tests for product or shipping |
4.7. Capturing Standard Output/Error
Since version 1.3, the JUnit Platform provides opt-in support for capturing output
printed to System.out
and System.err
. To enable it, simply set the
junit.platform.output.capture.stdout
and/or junit.platform.output.capture.stderr
configuration parameter to true
. In addition, you may
configure the maximum number of buffered bytes to be used per executed test or container
using junit.platform.output.capture.maxBuffer
.
If enabled, the JUnit Platform captures the corresponding output and publishes it as a
report entry using the stdout
or stderr
keys to all registered
TestExecutionListener
instances immediately before reporting the test or container as
finished.
Please note that the captured output will only contain output emitted by the thread that was used to execute a container or test. Any output by other threads will be omitted because particularly when executing tests in parallel it would be impossible to attribute it to a specific test or container.
4.8. Flight Recorder Support
Since version 1.7, the JUnit Platform provides opt-in support for generating Flight Recorder events. JEP 328 describes the Java Flight Recorder (JFR) as:
Flight Recorder records events originating from applications, the JVM and the OS. Events are stored in a single file that can be attached to bug reports and examined by support engineers, allowing after-the-fact analysis of issues in the period leading up to a problem. |
In order to record Flight Recorder events generated while running tests, you need to:
-
Provide module
org.junit.platform.jfr
(junit-platform-jfr-1.7.2.jar
) on the class-path or module-path at test runtime. -
Start flight recording when launching a test run. Flight Recorder can be started via java command line option:
-XX:StartFlightRecording:filename=...
Please consult the manual of your build tool for the appropriate commands.
To analyze the recorded events, use the jfr command line tool shipped with recent JDKs or open the recording file with JDK Mission Control.
Flight Recorder support is currently an experimental feature. You’re invited to give it a try and provide feedback to the JUnit team so they can improve and eventually promote this feature. |
5. Extension Model
5.1. Overview
In contrast to the competing Runner
, TestRule
, and MethodRule
extension points in
JUnit 4, the JUnit Jupiter extension model consists of a single, coherent concept: the
Extension
API. Note, however, that Extension
itself is just a marker interface.
5.2. Registering Extensions
Extensions can be registered declaratively via
@ExtendWith
, programmatically via
@RegisterExtension
, or automatically via
Java’s ServiceLoader
mechanism.
5.2.1. Declarative Extension Registration
Developers can register one or more extensions declaratively by annotating a test
interface, test class, test method, or custom composed
annotation with @ExtendWith(…)
and supplying class references for the extensions
to register.
For example, to register a custom RandomParametersExtension
for a particular test
method, you would annotate the test method as follows.
@ExtendWith(RandomParametersExtension.class)
@Test
void test(@Random int i) {
// ...
}
To register a custom RandomParametersExtension
for all tests in a particular class and
its subclasses, you would annotate the test class as follows.
@ExtendWith(RandomParametersExtension.class)
class MyTests {
// ...
}
Multiple extensions can be registered together like this:
@ExtendWith({ DatabaseExtension.class, WebServerExtension.class })
class MyFirstTests {
// ...
}
As an alternative, multiple extensions can be registered separately like this:
@ExtendWith(DatabaseExtension.class)
@ExtendWith(WebServerExtension.class)
class MySecondTests {
// ...
}
Extension Registration Order
Extensions registered declaratively via |
If you wish to combine multiple extensions in a reusable way, you can define a custom
composed annotation and use @ExtendWith
as a
meta-annotation:
@Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@ExtendWith({ DatabaseExtension.class, WebServerExtension.class })
public @interface DatabaseAndWebServerExtension {
}
5.2.2. Programmatic Extension Registration
Developers can register extensions programmatically by annotating fields in test classes
with @RegisterExtension
.
When an extension is registered declaratively via
@ExtendWith
, it can typically only be configured
via annotations. In contrast, when an extension is registered via @RegisterExtension
, it
can be configured programmatically — for example, in order to pass arguments to the
extension’s constructor, a static factory method, or a builder API.
Extension Registration Order
By default, extensions registered programmatically via Any |
@RegisterExtension fields must not be private or null (at evaluation time) but
may be either static or non-static.
|
Static Fields
If a @RegisterExtension
field is static
, the extension will be registered after
extensions that are registered at the class level via @ExtendWith
. Such static
extensions are not limited in which extension APIs they can implement. Extensions
registered via static fields may therefore implement class-level and instance-level
extension APIs such as BeforeAllCallback
, AfterAllCallback
,
TestInstancePostProcessor
, and TestInstancePreDestroyCallback
as well as method-level
extension APIs such as BeforeEachCallback
, etc.
In the following example, the server
field in the test class is initialized
programmatically by using a builder pattern supported by the WebServerExtension
. The
configured WebServerExtension
will be automatically registered as an extension at the
class level — for example, in order to start the server before all tests in the class
and then stop the server after all tests in the class have completed. In addition, static
lifecycle methods annotated with @BeforeAll
or @AfterAll
as well as @BeforeEach
,
@AfterEach
, and @Test
methods can access the instance of the extension via the
server
field if necessary.
class WebServerDemo {
@RegisterExtension
static WebServerExtension server = WebServerExtension.builder()
.enableSecurity(false)
.build();
@Test
void getProductList() {
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
String serverUrl = server.getServerUrl();
// Use WebClient to connect to web server using serverUrl and verify response
assertEquals(200, webClient.get(serverUrl + "/products").getResponseStatus());
}
}
Static Fields in Kotlin
The Kotlin programming language does not have the concept of a static
field. However,
the compiler can be instructed to generate static fields using annotations. Since, as
stated earlier, @RegisterExtension
fields must not be private
nor null
, one
cannot use the @JvmStatic
annotation in Kotlin as it generates private
fields.
Rather, the @JvmField
annotation must be used.
The following example is a version of the WebServerDemo
from the previous section that
has been ported to Kotlin.
class KotlinWebServerDemo {
companion object {
@JvmField
@RegisterExtension
val server = WebServerExtension.builder()
.enableSecurity(false)
.build()
}
@Test
fun getProductList() {
// Use WebClient to connect to web server using serverUrl and verify response
val webClient = WebClient()
val serverUrl = server.serverUrl
assertEquals(200, webClient.get("$serverUrl/products").responseStatus)
}
}
Instance Fields
If a @RegisterExtension
field is non-static (i.e., an instance field), the extension
will be registered after the test class has been instantiated and after each registered
TestInstancePostProcessor
has been given a chance to post-process the test instance
(potentially injecting the instance of the extension to be used into the annotated
field). Thus, if such an instance extension implements class-level or instance-level
extension APIs such as BeforeAllCallback
, AfterAllCallback
, or
TestInstancePostProcessor
, those APIs will not be honored. By default, an instance
extension will be registered after extensions that are registered at the method level
via @ExtendWith
; however, if the test class is configured with
@TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
semantics, an instance extension will be registered
before extensions that are registered at the method level via @ExtendWith
.
In the following example, the docs
field in the test class is initialized
programmatically by invoking a custom lookUpDocsDir()
method and supplying the result
to the static forPath()
factory method in the DocumentationExtension
. The configured
DocumentationExtension
will be automatically registered as an extension at the method
level. In addition, @BeforeEach
, @AfterEach
, and @Test
methods can access the
instance of the extension via the docs
field if necessary.
class DocumentationDemo {
static Path lookUpDocsDir() {
// return path to docs dir
}
@RegisterExtension
DocumentationExtension docs = DocumentationExtension.forPath(lookUpDocsDir());
@Test
void generateDocumentation() {
// use this.docs ...
}
}
5.2.3. Automatic Extension Registration
In addition to declarative extension registration
and programmatic extension registration support
using annotations, JUnit Jupiter also supports global extension registration via Java’s
java.util.ServiceLoader
mechanism, allowing third-party extensions to be auto-detected
and automatically registered based on what is available in the classpath.
Specifically, a custom extension can be registered by supplying its fully qualified class
name in a file named org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.Extension
within the
/META-INF/services
folder in its enclosing JAR file.
Enabling Automatic Extension Detection
Auto-detection is an advanced feature and is therefore not enabled by default. To enable
it, set the junit.jupiter.extensions.autodetection.enabled
configuration parameter to
true
. This can be supplied as a JVM system property, as a configuration parameter in
the LauncherDiscoveryRequest
that is passed to the Launcher
, or via the JUnit Platform
configuration file (see Configuration Parameters for details).
For example, to enable auto-detection of extensions, you can start your JVM with the following system property.
-Djunit.jupiter.extensions.autodetection.enabled=true
When auto-detection is enabled, extensions discovered via the ServiceLoader
mechanism
will be added to the extension registry after JUnit Jupiter’s global extensions (e.g.,
support for TestInfo
, TestReporter
, etc.).
5.2.4. Extension Inheritance
Registered extensions are inherited within test class hierarchies with top-down semantics. Similarly, extensions registered at the class-level are inherited at the method-level. Furthermore, a specific extension implementation can only be registered once for a given extension context and its parent contexts. Consequently, any attempt to register a duplicate extension implementation will be ignored.
5.3. Conditional Test Execution
ExecutionCondition
defines the Extension
API for programmatic, conditional test
execution.
An ExecutionCondition
is evaluated for each container (e.g., a test class) to
determine if all the tests it contains should be executed based on the supplied
ExtensionContext
. Similarly, an ExecutionCondition
is evaluated for each test to
determine if a given test method should be executed based on the supplied
ExtensionContext
.
When multiple ExecutionCondition
extensions are registered, a container or test is
disabled as soon as one of the conditions returns disabled. Thus, there is no guarantee
that a condition is evaluated because another extension might have already caused a
container or test to be disabled. In other words, the evaluation works like the
short-circuiting boolean OR operator.
See the source code of DisabledCondition
and @Disabled
for concrete examples.
5.3.1. Deactivating Conditions
Sometimes it can be useful to run a test suite without certain conditions being active.
For example, you may wish to run tests even if they are annotated with @Disabled
in
order to see if they are still broken. To do this, provide a pattern for the
junit.jupiter.conditions.deactivate
configuration parameter to specify which
conditions should be deactivated (i.e., not evaluated) for the current test run. The
pattern can be supplied as a JVM system property, as a configuration parameter in the
LauncherDiscoveryRequest
that is passed to the Launcher
, or via the JUnit Platform
configuration file (see Configuration Parameters for details).
For example, to deactivate JUnit’s @Disabled
condition, you can start your JVM with the
following system property.
-Djunit.jupiter.conditions.deactivate=org.junit.*DisabledCondition
Pattern Matching Syntax
Refer to Pattern Matching Syntax for details.
5.4. Test Instance Factories
TestInstanceFactory
defines the API for Extensions
that wish to create test class
instances.
Common use cases include acquiring the test instance from a dependency injection framework or invoking a static factory method to create the test class instance.
If no TestInstanceFactory
is registered, the framework will invoke the sole
constructor for the test class to instantiate it, potentially resolving constructor
arguments via registered ParameterResolver
extensions.
Extensions that implement TestInstanceFactory
can be registered on test interfaces,
top-level test classes, or @Nested
test classes.
Registering multiple extensions that implement |
5.5. Test Instance Post-processing
TestInstancePostProcessor
defines the API for Extensions
that wish to post
process test instances.
Common use cases include injecting dependencies into the test instance, invoking custom initialization methods on the test instance, etc.
For a concrete example, consult the source code for the MockitoExtension
and the
SpringExtension
.
5.6. Test Instance Pre-destroy Callback
TestInstancePreDestroyCallback
defines the API for Extensions
that wish to process
test instances after they have been used in tests and before they are destroyed.
Common use cases include cleaning dependencies that have been injected into the test instance, invoking custom de-initialization methods on the test instance, etc.
5.7. Parameter Resolution
ParameterResolver
defines the Extension
API for dynamically resolving parameters at
runtime.
If a test class constructor, test method, or lifecycle method (see
Test Classes and Methods) declares a parameter, the parameter must be
resolved at runtime by a ParameterResolver
. A ParameterResolver
can either be
built-in (see TestInfoParameterResolver
) or registered by
the user. Generally speaking, parameters may be resolved by name, type,
annotation, or any combination thereof.
If you wish to implement a custom ParameterResolver
that resolves parameters based
solely on the type of the parameter, you may find it convenient to extend the
TypeBasedParameterResolver
which serves as a generic adapter for such use cases.
For concrete examples, consult the source code for CustomTypeParameterResolver
,
CustomAnnotationParameterResolver
, and MapOfListsTypeBasedParameterResolver
.
Due to a bug in the byte code generated by The
|
5.8. Test Result Processing
TestWatcher
defines the API for extensions that wish to process the results of test
method executions. Specifically, a TestWatcher
will be invoked with contextual
information for the following events.
-
testDisabled
: invoked after a disabled test method has been skipped -
testSuccessful
: invoked after a test method has completed successfully -
testAborted
: invoked after a test method has been aborted -
testFailed
: invoked after a test method has failed
In contrast to the definition of "test method" presented in
Test Classes and Methods, in this context test method refers to any
@Test method or @TestTemplate method (for example, a @RepeatedTest or
@ParameterizedTest ).
|
Extensions implementing this interface can be registered at the method level or at the
class level. In the latter case they will be invoked for any contained test method
including those in @Nested
classes.
Any instances of |
5.9. Test Lifecycle Callbacks
The following interfaces define the APIs for extending tests at various points in the
test execution lifecycle. Consult the following sections for examples and the Javadoc for
each of these interfaces in the org.junit.jupiter.api.extension
package for further details.
Implementing Multiple Extension APIs
Extension developers may choose to implement any number of these interfaces
within a single extension. Consult the source code of the SpringExtension for a
concrete example.
|
5.9.1. Before and After Test Execution Callbacks
BeforeTestExecutionCallback
and AfterTestExecutionCallback
define the APIs for
Extensions
that wish to add behavior that will be executed immediately before and
immediately after a test method is executed, respectively. As such, these callbacks are
well suited for timing, tracing, and similar use cases. If you need to implement
callbacks that are invoked around @BeforeEach
and @AfterEach
methods, implement
BeforeEachCallback
and AfterEachCallback
instead.
The following example shows how to use these callbacks to calculate and log the execution
time of a test method. TimingExtension
implements both BeforeTestExecutionCallback
and AfterTestExecutionCallback
in order to time and log the test execution.
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.AfterTestExecutionCallback;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.BeforeTestExecutionCallback;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtensionContext;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtensionContext.Namespace;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtensionContext.Store;
public class TimingExtension implements BeforeTestExecutionCallback, AfterTestExecutionCallback {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(TimingExtension.class.getName());
private static final String START_TIME = "start time";
@Override
public void beforeTestExecution(ExtensionContext context) throws Exception {
getStore(context).put(START_TIME, System.currentTimeMillis());
}
@Override
public void afterTestExecution(ExtensionContext context) throws Exception {
Method testMethod = context.getRequiredTestMethod();
long startTime = getStore(context).remove(START_TIME, long.class);
long duration = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
logger.info(() ->
String.format("Method [%s] took %s ms.", testMethod.getName(), duration));
}
private Store getStore(ExtensionContext context) {
return context.getStore(Namespace.create(getClass(), context.getRequiredTestMethod()));
}
}
Since the TimingExtensionTests
class registers the TimingExtension
via @ExtendWith
,
its tests will have this timing applied when they execute.
@ExtendWith(TimingExtension.class)
class TimingExtensionTests {
@Test
void sleep20ms() throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(20);
}
@Test
void sleep50ms() throws Exception {
Thread.sleep(50);
}
}
The following is an example of the logging produced when TimingExtensionTests
is run.
INFO: Method [sleep20ms] took 24 ms. INFO: Method [sleep50ms] took 53 ms.
5.10. Exception Handling
Exceptions thrown during the test execution may be intercepted and handled accordingly
before propagating further, so that certain actions like error logging or resource releasing
may be defined in specialized Extensions
. JUnit Jupiter offers API for Extensions
that
wish to handle exceptions thrown during @Test
methods via TestExecutionExceptionHandler
and for those thrown during one of test lifecycle methods (@BeforeAll
, @BeforeEach
,
@AfterEach
and @AfterAll
) via LifecycleMethodExecutionExceptionHandler
.
The following example shows an extension which will swallow all instances of IOException
but rethrow any other type of exception.
public class IgnoreIOExceptionExtension implements TestExecutionExceptionHandler {
@Override
public void handleTestExecutionException(ExtensionContext context, Throwable throwable)
throws Throwable {
if (throwable instanceof IOException) {
return;
}
throw throwable;
}
}
Another example shows how to record the state of an application under test exactly at
the point of unexpected exception being thrown during setup and cleanup. Note that unlike
relying on lifecycle callbacks, which may or may not be executed depending on the test
status, this solution guarantees execution immediately after failing @BeforeAll
,
@BeforeEach
, @AfterEach
or @AfterAll
.
class RecordStateOnErrorExtension implements LifecycleMethodExecutionExceptionHandler {
@Override
public void handleBeforeAllMethodExecutionException(ExtensionContext context, Throwable ex)
throws Throwable {
memoryDumpForFurtherInvestigation("Failure recorded during class setup");
throw ex;
}
@Override
public void handleBeforeEachMethodExecutionException(ExtensionContext context, Throwable ex)
throws Throwable {
memoryDumpForFurtherInvestigation("Failure recorded during test setup");
throw ex;
}
@Override
public void handleAfterEachMethodExecutionException(ExtensionContext context, Throwable ex)
throws Throwable {
memoryDumpForFurtherInvestigation("Failure recorded during test cleanup");
throw ex;
}
@Override
public void handleAfterAllMethodExecutionException(ExtensionContext context, Throwable ex)
throws Throwable {
memoryDumpForFurtherInvestigation("Failure recorded during class cleanup");
throw ex;
}
}
Multiple execution exception handlers may be invoked for the same lifecycle method in order of declaration. If one of the handlers swallows the handled exception, subsequent ones will not be executed, and no failure will be propagated to JUnit engine, as if the exception was never thrown. Handlers may also choose to rethrow the exception or throw a different one, potentially wrapping the original.
Extensions implementing LifecycleMethodExecutionExceptionHandler
that wish to handle
exceptions thrown during @BeforeAll
or @AfterAll
need to be registered on a class level,
while handlers for BeforeEach
and AfterEach
may be also registered for individual
test methods.
// Register handlers for @Test, @BeforeEach, @AfterEach as well as @BeforeAll and @AfterAll
@ExtendWith(ThirdExecutedHandler.class)
class MultipleHandlersTestCase {
// Register handlers for @Test, @BeforeEach, @AfterEach only
@ExtendWith(SecondExecutedHandler.class)
@ExtendWith(FirstExecutedHandler.class)
@Test
void testMethod() {
}
}
5.11. Intercepting Invocations
InvocationInterceptor
defines the API for Extensions
that wish to intercept calls to
test code.
The following example shows an extension that executes all test methods in Swing’s Event Dispatch Thread.
public class SwingEdtInterceptor implements InvocationInterceptor {
@Override
public void interceptTestMethod(Invocation<Void> invocation,
ReflectiveInvocationContext<Method> invocationContext,
ExtensionContext extensionContext) throws Throwable {
AtomicReference<Throwable> throwable = new AtomicReference<>();
SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(() -> {
try {
invocation.proceed();
}
catch (Throwable t) {
throwable.set(t);
}
});
Throwable t = throwable.get();
if (t != null) {
throw t;
}
}
}
5.12. Providing Invocation Contexts for Test Templates
A @TestTemplate
method can only be executed when at least one
TestTemplateInvocationContextProvider
is registered. Each such provider is responsible
for providing a Stream
of TestTemplateInvocationContext
instances. Each context may
specify a custom display name and a list of additional extensions that will only be used
for the next invocation of the @TestTemplate
method.
The following example shows how to write a test template as well as how to register and
implement a TestTemplateInvocationContextProvider
.
final List<String> fruits = Arrays.asList("apple", "banana", "lemon");
@TestTemplate
@ExtendWith(MyTestTemplateInvocationContextProvider.class)
void testTemplate(String fruit) {
assertTrue(fruits.contains(fruit));
}
public class MyTestTemplateInvocationContextProvider
implements TestTemplateInvocationContextProvider {
@Override
public boolean supportsTestTemplate(ExtensionContext context) {
return true;
}
@Override
public Stream<TestTemplateInvocationContext> provideTestTemplateInvocationContexts(
ExtensionContext context) {
return Stream.of(invocationContext("apple"), invocationContext("banana"));
}
private TestTemplateInvocationContext invocationContext(String parameter) {
return new TestTemplateInvocationContext() {
@Override
public String getDisplayName(int invocationIndex) {
return parameter;
}
@Override
public List<Extension> getAdditionalExtensions() {
return Collections.singletonList(new ParameterResolver() {
@Override
public boolean supportsParameter(ParameterContext parameterContext,
ExtensionContext extensionContext) {
return parameterContext.getParameter().getType().equals(String.class);
}
@Override
public Object resolveParameter(ParameterContext parameterContext,
ExtensionContext extensionContext) {
return parameter;
}
});
}
};
}
}
In this example, the test template will be invoked twice. The display names of the
invocations will be apple
and banana
as specified by the invocation context. Each
invocation registers a custom ParameterResolver
which is used to resolve the method
parameter. The output when using the ConsoleLauncher
is as follows.
└─ testTemplate(String) ✔ ├─ apple ✔ └─ banana ✔
The TestTemplateInvocationContextProvider
extension API is primarily intended for
implementing different kinds of tests that rely on repetitive invocation of a test-like
method albeit in different contexts — for example, with different parameters, by preparing
the test class instance differently, or multiple times without modifying the context.
Please refer to the implementations of Repeated Tests or
Parameterized Tests which use this extension point to provide their
functionality.
5.13. Keeping State in Extensions
Usually, an extension is instantiated only once. So the question becomes relevant: How do
you keep the state from one invocation of an extension to the next? The
ExtensionContext
API provides a Store
exactly for this purpose. Extensions may put
values into a store for later retrieval. See the
TimingExtension
for an example of
using the Store
with a method-level scope. It is important to remember that values
stored in an ExtensionContext
during test execution will not be available in the
surrounding ExtensionContext
. Since ExtensionContexts
may be nested, the scope of
inner contexts may also be limited. Consult the corresponding Javadoc for details on the
methods available for storing and retrieving values via the Store
.
ExtensionContext.Store.CloseableResource CloseableResource are notified by an invocation of their close()
method in the inverse order they were added in.

5.14. Supported Utilities in Extensions
The junit-platform-commons
artifact exposes a package named
org.junit.platform.commons.support
that contains maintained utility methods for working
with annotations, classes, reflection, and classpath scanning tasks. TestEngine
and
Extension
authors are encouraged to use these supported methods in order to align with
the behavior of the JUnit Platform.
5.14.1. Annotation Support
AnnotationSupport
provides static utility methods that operate on annotated elements
(e.g., packages, annotations, classes, interfaces, constructors, methods, and fields).
These include methods to check whether an element is annotated or meta-annotated with a
particular annotation, to search for specific annotations, and to find annotated methods
and fields in a class or interface. Some of these methods search on implemented
interfaces and within class hierarchies to find annotations. Consult the Javadoc for
AnnotationSupport
for further details.
5.14.2. Class Support
ClassSupport
provides static utility methods for working with classes (i.e., instances
of java.lang.Class
). Consult the Javadoc for ClassSupport
for further details.
5.14.3. Reflection Support
ReflectionSupport
provides static utility methods that augment the standard JDK
reflection and class-loading mechanisms. These include methods to scan the classpath in
search of classes matching specified predicates, to load and create new instances of a
class, and to find and invoke methods. Some of these methods traverse class hierarchies
to locate matching methods. Consult the Javadoc for ReflectionSupport
for further
details.
5.14.4. Modifier Support
ModifierSupport
provides static utility methods for working with member and class
modifiers — for example, to determine if a member is declared as public
, private
,
abstract
, static
, etc. Consult the Javadoc for ModifierSupport
for further
details.
5.15. Relative Execution Order of User Code and Extensions
When executing a test class that contains one or more test methods, a number of extension callbacks are called in addition to the user-supplied test and lifecycle methods.
See also: Test Execution Order |
5.15.1. User and Extension Code
The following diagram illustrates the relative order of user-supplied code and extension code. User-supplied test and lifecycle methods are shown in orange, with callback code implemented by extensions shown in blue. The grey box denotes the execution of a single test method and will be repeated for every test method in the test class.
The following table further explains the sixteen steps in the User code and extension code diagram.
Step | Interface/Annotation | Description |
---|---|---|
1 |
interface |
extension code executed before all tests of the container are executed |
2 |
annotation |
user code executed before all tests of the container are executed |
3 |
interface |
extension code for handling exceptions thrown from |
4 |
interface |
extension code executed before each test is executed |
5 |
annotation |
user code executed before each test is executed |
6 |
interface |
extension code for handling exceptions thrown from |
7 |
interface |
extension code executed immediately before a test is executed |
8 |
annotation |
user code of the actual test method |
9 |
interface |
extension code for handling exceptions thrown during a test |
10 |
interface |
extension code executed immediately after test execution and its corresponding exception handlers |
11 |
annotation |
user code executed after each test is executed |
12 |
interface |
extension code for handling exceptions thrown from |
13 |
interface |
extension code executed after each test is executed |
14 |
annotation |
user code executed after all tests of the container are executed |
15 |
interface |
extension code for handling exceptions thrown from |
16 |
interface |
extension code executed after all tests of the container are executed |
In the simplest case only the actual test method will be executed (step 8); all other steps are optional depending on the presence of user code or extension support for the corresponding lifecycle callback. For further details on the various lifecycle callbacks please consult the respective Javadoc for each annotation and extension.
All invocations of user code methods in the above table can additionally be intercepted
by implementing InvocationInterceptor
.
5.15.2. Wrapping Behavior of Callbacks
JUnit Jupiter always guarantees wrapping behavior for multiple registered extensions
that implement lifecycle callbacks such as BeforeAllCallback
, AfterAllCallback
,
BeforeEachCallback
, AfterEachCallback
, BeforeTestExecutionCallback
, and
AfterTestExecutionCallback
.
That means that, given two extensions Extension1
and Extension2
with Extension1
registered before Extension2
, any "before" callbacks implemented by Extension1
are
guaranteed to execute before any "before" callbacks implemented by Extension2
.
Similarly, given the two same two extensions registered in the same order, any "after"
callbacks implemented by Extension1
are guaranteed to execute after any "after"
callbacks implemented by Extension2
. Extension1
is therefore said to wrap
Extension2
.
JUnit Jupiter also guarantees wrapping behavior within class and interface hierarchies for user-supplied lifecycle methods (see Test Classes and Methods).
-
@BeforeAll
methods are inherited from superclasses as long as they are not hidden or overridden. Furthermore,@BeforeAll
methods from superclasses will be executed before@BeforeAll
methods in subclasses.-
Similarly,
@BeforeAll
methods declared in an interface are inherited as long as they are not hidden or overridden, and@BeforeAll
methods from an interface will be executed before@BeforeAll
methods in the class that implements the interface.
-
-
@AfterAll
methods are inherited from superclasses as long as they are not hidden or overridden. Furthermore,@AfterAll
methods from superclasses will be executed after@AfterAll
methods in subclasses.-
Similarly,
@AfterAll
methods declared in an interface are inherited as long as they are not hidden or overridden, and@AfterAll
methods from an interface will be executed after@AfterAll
methods in the class that implements the interface.
-
-
@BeforeEach
methods are inherited from superclasses as long as they are not overridden. Furthermore,@BeforeEach
methods from superclasses will be executed before@BeforeEach
methods in subclasses.-
Similarly,
@BeforeEach
methods declared as interface default methods are inherited as long as they are not overridden, and@BeforeEach
default methods will be executed before@BeforeEach
methods in the class that implements the interface.
-
-
@AfterEach
methods are inherited from superclasses as long as they are not overridden. Furthermore,@AfterEach
methods from superclasses will be executed after@AfterEach
methods in subclasses.-
Similarly,
@AfterEach
methods declared as interface default methods are inherited as long as they are not overridden, and@AfterEach
default methods will be executed after@AfterEach
methods in the class that implements the interface.
-
The following examples demonstrate this behavior. Please note that the examples do not
actually do anything realistic. Instead, they mimic common scenarios for testing
interactions with the database. All methods imported statically from the Logger
class
log contextual information in order to help us better understand the execution order of
user-supplied callback methods and callback methods in extensions.

the JupiterTestEngine
when the DatabaseTestsDemo
test class is executed.
JUnit Jupiter does not guarantee the execution order of multiple lifecycle methods
that are declared within a single test class or test interface. It may at times appear
that JUnit Jupiter invokes such methods in alphabetical order. However, that is not
precisely true. The ordering is analogous to the ordering for @Test
methods within a
single test class.
Lifecycle methods that are declared within a single test class or test interface will be ordered using an algorithm that is deterministic but intentionally non-obvious. This ensures that subsequent runs of a test suite execute lifecycle methods in the same order, thereby allowing for repeatable builds. |
In addition, JUnit Jupiter does not support wrapping behavior for multiple lifecycle methods declared within a single test class or test interface.
The following example demonstrates this behavior. Specifically, the lifecycle method configuration is broken due to the order in which the locally declared lifecycle methods are executed.
-
Test data is inserted before the database connection has been opened, which results in a failure to connect to the database.
-
The database connection is closed before deleting the test data, which results in a failure to connect to the database.

}

afterEachMethod(getClass().getSimpleName() + ".disconnectFromDatabase()");
}
}
When the BrokenLifecycleMethodConfigDemo
test class is executed, the following is logged.
Extension1.beforeEach() Extension2.beforeEach() @BeforeEach BrokenLifecycleMethodConfigDemo.insertTestDataIntoDatabase() @BeforeEach BrokenLifecycleMethodConfigDemo.connectToDatabase() @Test BrokenLifecycleMethodConfigDemo.testDatabaseFunctionality() @AfterEach BrokenLifecycleMethodConfigDemo.disconnectFromDatabase() @AfterEach BrokenLifecycleMethodConfigDemo.deleteTestDataFromDatabase() Extension2.afterEach() Extension1.afterEach()
The following sequence diagram helps to shed further light on what actually goes on within
the JupiterTestEngine
when the BrokenLifecycleMethodConfigDemo
test class is executed.
Due to the aforementioned behavior, the JUnit Team recommends that developers declare at most one of each type of lifecycle method (see Test Classes and Methods) per test class or test interface unless there are no dependencies between such lifecycle methods. |
6. Advanced Topics
6.1. JUnit Platform Launcher API
One of the prominent goals of JUnit 5 is to make the interface between JUnit and its programmatic clients – build tools and IDEs – more powerful and stable. The purpose is to decouple the internals of discovering and executing tests from all the filtering and configuration that’s necessary from the outside.
JUnit 5 introduces the concept of a Launcher
that can be used to discover, filter, and
execute tests. Moreover, third party test libraries – like Spock, Cucumber, and FitNesse
– can plug into the JUnit Platform’s launching infrastructure by providing a custom
TestEngine
.
The launcher API is in the junit-platform-launcher
module.
An example consumer of the launcher API is the ConsoleLauncher
in the
junit-platform-console
project.
6.1.1. Discovering Tests
Introducing test discovery as a dedicated feature of the platform itself will (hopefully) free IDEs and build tools from most of the difficulties they had to go through to identify test classes and test methods in the past.
Usage Example:
import static org.junit.platform.engine.discovery.ClassNameFilter.includeClassNamePatterns;
import static org.junit.platform.engine.discovery.DiscoverySelectors.selectClass;
import static org.junit.platform.engine.discovery.DiscoverySelectors.selectPackage;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.Launcher;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.LauncherDiscoveryRequest;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.TestExecutionListener;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.TestPlan;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.core.LauncherConfig;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.core.LauncherDiscoveryRequestBuilder;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.core.LauncherFactory;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.listeners.SummaryGeneratingListener;
import org.junit.platform.launcher.listeners.TestExecutionSummary;
import org.junit.platform.reporting.legacy.xml.LegacyXmlReportGeneratingListener;
LauncherDiscoveryRequest request = LauncherDiscoveryRequestBuilder.request()
.selectors(
selectPackage("com.example.mytests"),
selectClass(MyTestClass.class)
)
.filters(
includeClassNamePatterns(".*Tests")
)
.build();
Launcher launcher = LauncherFactory.create();
TestPlan testPlan = launcher.discover(request);
There’s currently the possibility to select classes, methods, and all classes in a package or even search for all tests in the classpath. Discovery takes place across all participating test engines.
The resulting TestPlan
is a hierarchical (and read-only) description of all engines,
classes, and test methods that fit the LauncherDiscoveryRequest
. The client can
traverse the tree, retrieve details about a node, and get a link to the original source
(like class, method, or file position). Every node in the test plan has a unique ID
that can be used to invoke a particular test or group of tests.
Clients can register one or more LauncherDiscoveryListener
implementations to get
insights into events that occur during test discovery via the
LauncherDiscoveryRequestBuilder
. The builder registers a default listener that can be
changed via the junit.platform.discovery.listener.default
configuration parameter. If
the parameter is not set, test discovery will be aborted after the first failure is
encountered.
6.1.2. Executing Tests
To execute tests, clients can use the same LauncherDiscoveryRequest
as in the discovery
phase or create a new request. Test progress and reporting can be achieved by registering
one or more TestExecutionListener
implementations with the Launcher
as in the
following example.
LauncherDiscoveryRequest request = LauncherDiscoveryRequestBuilder.request()
.selectors(
selectPackage("com.example.mytests"),
selectClass(MyTestClass.class)
)
.filters(
includeClassNamePatterns(".*Tests")
)
.build();
Launcher launcher = LauncherFactory.create();
// Register a listener of your choice
SummaryGeneratingListener listener = new SummaryGeneratingListener();
launcher.registerTestExecutionListeners(listener);
launcher.execute(request);
TestExecutionSummary summary = listener.getSummary();
// Do something with the TestExecutionSummary.
There is no return value for the execute()
method, but you can easily use a listener to
aggregate the final results in an object of your own. For examples see the
SummaryGeneratingListener
and LegacyXmlReportGeneratingListener
.
6.1.3. Plugging in your own Test Engine
JUnit currently provides two TestEngine
implementations.
-
junit-jupiter-engine
: The core of JUnit Jupiter. -
junit-vintage-engine
: A thin layer on top of JUnit 4 to allow running vintage tests with the launcher infrastructure.
Third parties may also contribute their own TestEngine
by implementing the interfaces
in the junit-platform-engine module and registering their engine. By default, engine
registration is supported via Java’s java.util.ServiceLoader
mechanism. For example,
the junit-jupiter-engine
module registers its
org.junit.jupiter.engine.JupiterTestEngine
in a file named
org.junit.platform.engine.TestEngine
within the /META-INF/services
in the
junit-jupiter-engine
JAR.
HierarchicalTestEngine is a convenient abstract base implementation (used by
the junit-jupiter-engine ) that only requires implementors to provide the logic for
test discovery. It implements execution of TestDescriptors that implement the Node
interface, including support for parallel execution.
|
The
junit- prefix is reserved for TestEngines from the JUnit TeamThe JUnit Platform
|
6.1.4. Plugging in your own Post-Discovery Filters
In addition to specifying post-discovery filters as part of a LauncherDiscoveryRequest
passed to the Launcher
API, by default custom PostDiscoveryFilter
implementations
will be discovered at runtime via Java’s java.util.ServiceLoader
mechanism and
automatically applied by the Launcher
in addition to those that are part of the request.
For example, an example.CustomTagFilter
class implementing PostDiscoveryFilter
and
declared within the /META-INF/services/org.junit.platform.launcher.PostDiscoveryFilter
file is loaded and applied automatically.
6.1.5. Plugging in your own Test Execution Listener
In addition to the public Launcher
API method for registering test execution
listeners programmatically, by default custom TestExecutionListener
implementations
will be discovered at runtime via Java’s java.util.ServiceLoader
mechanism and
automatically registered with the Launcher
created via the LauncherFactory
. For
example, an example.TestInfoPrinter
class implementing TestExecutionListener
and
declared within the
/META-INF/services/org.junit.platform.launcher.TestExecutionListener
file is loaded and
registered automatically.
6.1.6. Deactivating Test Execution Listeners
Sometimes it can be useful to run a test suite without certain execution listeners being
active. For example, you might have custom a TestExecutionListener
that sends the test
results to an external system for reporting purposes, and while debugging you might not
want these debug results to be reported. To do this, provide a pattern for the
junit.platform.execution.listeners.deactivate
configuration parameter to specify which
execution listeners should be deactivated (i.e. not registered) for the current test run.
Only listeners registered via the In addition, since execution listeners are registered before the test run starts, the
|
Pattern Matching Syntax
Refer to Pattern Matching Syntax for details.
6.1.7. JUnit Platform Reporting
The junit-platform-reporting
artifact contains TestExecutionListener
implementations that generate test reports. These listeners are typically used by IDEs
and build tools. The package org.junit.platform.reporting.legacy.xml
currently contains
the following implementation.
-
LegacyXmlReportGeneratingListener
generates a separate XML report for each root in theTestPlan
. Note that the generated XML format is compatible with the de facto standard for JUnit 4 based test reports that was made popular by the Ant build system. TheLegacyXmlReportGeneratingListener
is used by the Console Launcher as well.
The junit-platform-launcher module also contains TestExecutionListener
implementations that can be used for reporting purposes. See LoggingListener and
SummaryGeneratingListener for details.
|
6.1.8. Configuring the Launcher
If you require fine-grained control over automatic detection and registration of test
engines and test execution listeners, you may create an instance of LauncherConfig
and
supply that to the LauncherFactory.create(LauncherConfig)
method. Typically an instance
of LauncherConfig
is created via the built-in fluent builder API, as demonstrated in
the following example.
LauncherConfig launcherConfig = LauncherConfig.builder()
.enableTestEngineAutoRegistration(false)
.enableTestExecutionListenerAutoRegistration(false)
.addTestEngines(new CustomTestEngine())
.addTestExecutionListeners(new LegacyXmlReportGeneratingListener(reportsDir, out))
.addTestExecutionListeners(new CustomTestExecutionListener())
.build();
Launcher launcher = LauncherFactory.create(launcherConfig);
LauncherDiscoveryRequest request = LauncherDiscoveryRequestBuilder.request()
.selectors(selectPackage("com.example.mytests"))
.build();
launcher.execute(request);
6.2. JUnit Platform Test Kit
The junit-platform-testkit
artifact provides support for executing a test plan on the
JUnit Platform and then verifying the expected results. As of JUnit Platform 1.4, this
support is limited to the execution of a single TestEngine
(see Engine Test Kit).
6.2.1. Engine Test Kit
The org.junit.platform.testkit.engine
package provides support for executing a TestPlan
for a
given TestEngine
running on the JUnit Platform and then accessing the results via a
fluent API to verify the expected results. The key entry point into this API is the
EngineTestKit
which provides static factory methods named engine()
and execute()
.
It is recommended that you select one of the engine()
variants to benefit from the
fluent API for building a LauncherDiscoveryRequest
.
If you prefer to use the LauncherDiscoveryRequestBuilder from the Launcher API
to build your LauncherDiscoveryRequest , you must use one of the execute() variants in
EngineTestKit .
|
The following test class written using JUnit Jupiter will be used in subsequent examples.
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;
import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assumptions.assumeTrue;
import example.util.Calculator;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Disabled;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.MethodOrderer.OrderAnnotation;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Order;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.TestMethodOrder;
@TestMethodOrder(OrderAnnotation.class)
public class ExampleTestCase {
private final Calculator calculator = new Calculator();
@Test
@Disabled("for demonstration purposes")
@Order(1)
void skippedTest() {
// skipped ...
}
@Test
@Order(2)
void succeedingTest() {
assertEquals(42, calculator.multiply(6, 7));
}
@Test
@Order(3)
void abortedTest() {
assumeTrue("abc".contains("Z"), "abc does not contain Z");
// aborted ...
}
@Test
@Order(4)
void failingTest() {
// The following throws an ArithmeticException: "/ by zero"
calculator.divide(1, 0);
}
}
For the sake of brevity, the following sections demonstrate how to test JUnit’s own
JupiterTestEngine
whose unique engine ID is "junit-jupiter"
. If you want to test your
own TestEngine
implementation, you need to use its unique engine ID. Alternatively, you
may test your own TestEngine
by supplying an instance of it to the
EngineTestKit.engine(TestEngine)
static factory method.
6.2.2. Asserting Statistics
One of the most common features of the Test Kit is the ability to assert statistics
against events fired during the execution of a TestPlan
. The following tests demonstrate
how to assert statistics for containers and tests in the JUnit Jupiter TestEngine
.
For details on what statistics are available, consult the Javadoc for EventStatistics
.
import static org.junit.platform.engine.discovery.DiscoverySelectors.selectClass;
import example.ExampleTestCase;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.platform.testkit.engine.EngineTestKit;
class EngineTestKitStatisticsDemo {
@Test
void verifyJupiterContainerStats() {
EngineTestKit
.engine("junit-jupiter") (1)
.selectors(selectClass(ExampleTestCase.class)) (2)
.execute() (3)
.containerEvents() (4)
.assertStatistics(stats -> stats.started(2).succeeded(2)); (5)
}
@Test
void verifyJupiterTestStats() {
EngineTestKit
.engine("junit-jupiter") (1)
.selectors(selectClass(ExampleTestCase.class)) (2)
.execute() (3)
.testEvents() (6)
.assertStatistics(stats ->
stats.skipped(1).started(3).succeeded(1).aborted(1).failed(1)); (7)
}
}
1 | Select the JUnit Jupiter TestEngine . |
2 | Select the ExampleTestCase test class. |
3 | Execute the TestPlan . |
4 | Filter by container events. |
5 | Assert statistics for container events. |
6 | Filter by test events. |
7 | Assert statistics for test events. |
In the verifyJupiterContainerStats() test method, the counts for the started and
succeeded statistics are 2 since the JupiterTestEngine and the
ExampleTestCase class are both considered containers.
|
6.2.3. Asserting Events
If you find that asserting statistics alone is insufficient
for verifying the expected behavior of test execution, you can work directly with the
recorded Event
elements and perform assertions against them.
For example, if you want to verify the reason that the skippedTest()
method in
ExampleTestCase
was skipped, you can do that as
follows.
The For details on what conditions are available for use with AssertJ assertions against
events, consult the Javadoc for |

method in

equal to "/ by zero" . |
Although typically unnecessary, there are times when you need to verify all of the
events fired during the execution of a TestPlan
. The following test demonstrates how to
achieve this via the assertEventsMatchExactly()
method in the EngineTestKit
API.

7. API Evolution
One of the major goals of JUnit 5 is to improve maintainers' capabilities to evolve JUnit despite its being used in many projects. With JUnit 4 a lot of stuff that was originally added as an internal construct only got used by external extension writers and tool builders. That made changing JUnit 4 especially difficult and sometimes impossible.
That’s why JUnit 5 introduces a defined lifecycle for all publicly available interfaces, classes, and methods.
7.1. API Version and Status
Every published artifact has a version number <major>.<minor>.<patch>
, and all publicly
available interfaces, classes, and methods are annotated with @API from the
@API Guardian project. The annotation’s status
attribute can be assigned one of the
following values.
Status | Description |
---|---|
|
Must not be used by any code other than JUnit itself. Might be removed without prior notice. |
|
Should no longer be used; might disappear in the next minor release. |
|
Intended for new, experimental features where we are looking for feedback. |
|
Intended for features that will not be changed in a backwards-
incompatible way for at least the next minor release of the current
major version. If scheduled for removal, it will be demoted to |
|
Intended for features that will not be changed in a backwards-
incompatible way in the current major version ( |
If the @API
annotation is present on a type, it is considered to be applicable for all
public members of that type as well. A member is allowed to declare a different status
value of lower stability.
7.2. Experimental APIs
The following table lists which APIs are currently designated as experimental via
@API(status = EXPERIMENTAL)

of APIs annotated with @API. For example, the tooling support will likely provide a
means to check if JUnit APIs are being used in accordance with @API
annotation
declarations.

10. Appendix
10.1. Reproducible Builds
Starting with version 5.7, JUnit 5 aims for its non-javadoc JARs to be reproducible
Under identical build conditions, such as Java version, repeated builds should provide the same output byte-for-byte.
This means that anyone can reproduce the build conditions of the artifacts on Maven Central/Sonatype and produce the same output artifact locally, confirming that the artifacts in the repositories were actually generated from this source code.
10.2. Dependency Metadata
Artifacts for final releases and milestones are deployed to Maven Central, and snapshot artifacts are deployed to Sonatype’s snapshots repository under /org/junit.
