Interface Arguments


@API(status=STABLE, since="5.7") public interface Arguments
Arguments is an abstraction that provides access to an array of objects to be used for invoking a @ParameterizedTest method.

A Stream of such Arguments will typically be provided by an ArgumentsProvider.

Since:
5.0
See Also:
ParameterizedTest, ArgumentsSource, ArgumentsProvider, ArgumentConverter
API Note:

This interface is specifically designed as a simple holder of arguments of a parameterized test. Therefore, if you end up transforming or filtering the arguments, you should consider using one of the following in intermediate steps:

  • The standard collections
  • Tuples from third-party libraries, e.g., Commons Lang, or javatuples
  • Your own data class

Alternatively, you can use an ArgumentConverter to convert some of the arguments from one type to another.

    • get

      Object[] get()
      Get the arguments used for an invocation of the @ParameterizedTest method.
      Returns:
      the arguments; must not be null
      API Note:
      If you need a type-safe way to access some or all of the arguments, please read the class-level API note.
    • of

      static Arguments of(Object... arguments)
      Factory method for creating an instance of Arguments based on the supplied arguments.
      Parameters:
      arguments - the arguments to be used for an invocation of the test method; must not be null
      Returns:
      an instance of Arguments; never null
      See Also:
      arguments(Object...)
    • arguments

      static Arguments arguments(Object... arguments)
      Factory method for creating an instance of Arguments based on the supplied arguments.

      This method is an alias for of(java.lang.Object...) and is intended to be used when statically imported — for example, via: import static org.junit.jupiter.params.provider.Arguments.arguments;

      Parameters:
      arguments - the arguments to be used for an invocation of the test method; must not be null
      Returns:
      an instance of Arguments; never null
