JUnit: how to avoid "no runnable methods" in test utils classes


java ant junit testing

Annotate your util classes with @Ignore. This will cause JUnit not to try and run them as tests.

java ant junit testing

My specific case has the following scenario. Our tests 

public class VenueResourceContainerTest extends BaseTixContainerTest

all extend 

BaseTixContainerTest

and JUnit was trying to run BaseTixContainerTest. Poor BaseTixContainerTest was just trying to setup the container, setup the client, order some pizza and relax... man.

As mentioned previously, you can annotate the class with 

@Ignore

But that caused JUnit to report that test as skipped (as opposed to completely ignored). 

Tests run: 4, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 1

That kind of irritated me.

So I made BaseTixContainerTest abstract, and now JUnit truly ignores it.

Tests run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

Assuming you're in control of the pattern used to find test classes, I'd suggest changing it to match *Test rather than *Test*. That way TestHelper won't get matched, but FooTest will.
