As we look at how to keep migrating GWT provided user modules to modern best practices, the JUnit runner is a hairy one - it relies on a lot of the practices we discourage, including a great many modules in GWT that we might prefer it not use. It also assumes
As has been discussed on other lists, Google has an internal APT-based JUnit runner that presumably emits some Java and/or JS to enable some JS-based test running tools to iterate through the required tests and notify the user of failing code, including hints as to why it failed, with stack traces, etc. It has been previously discussed that this might be something that could be shared in whole or in part with the open source community, time permitting. Is this still in the cards? Can any aspects of this implementation be discussed ahead of time so we can prepare our own tests for it? For example, does it use JUnit 4, and if so, can it use Rules, or just before/after methods? -- Along similar lines, I did some work last fall to try to get JUnit 5 tests to work in a browser, but stopped shortly after working out how to replace the Engine with one that could in theory hand off control to a browser, and report back when complete. My idea was that if the JVM could dictate which tests were available to run, then JUnit 4 emulation could work, and JUnit 5 wiring would just ask our custom engine to transpile and run those tests, and report back all results in the familiar junit xml, with the expected build tool and IDE integration. This still might be worth pursuing, perhaps in parallel with any work Google already has working and is able to share.
