JUnit test filtering should allow custom filtering, and not test JUnit @Test
annotation on class
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BUILDR-62
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-62
Project: Buildr
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Test frameworks
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Timo Rantalaiho
If I understand correctly, in test_frameworks.rb
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/buildr/trunk/lib/buildr/java/test_frameworks.rb
JUnit tests are collected by taking
1) everything that extends JUnit 3 TestCase
2) every class that is annotated with JUnit 4 @Test
3) every method that is annotated with JUnit 4 @Test
2) is clearly wrong, as @Test only applies to methods, not classes

Also, I found no way to run JDave ( http://www.jdave.org/ ) specs or a custom
suite with the current 1.3 trunk (22 April 2008). In 1.2, this is very easy
with Buildr::Java::JUnit::JUNIT_TESTS_PATTERN filtering by test / spec class
names.
Some kind of an abstraction for filtering the relevant test or spec classes is
important not only for custom test framework integration, but for custom suites
in big projects. Running a lot of tests is typically faster in a suite, and
when you have different sets of tests (unit, integration, acceptance, black-box
against a deployed application, ...) you typically want to specify which set to
run. For example, the continuous integration server might only run tests
against the deployed application a couple of times a day, but unit tests all
the time for fast feedback. Different grouping methods of test frameworks are
framework specific, and rather than making Buildr support framework specific
ways, it could operate on an extra abstraction level.
Filtering by class name has worked well elsewhere (ant, maven, buildr 1.2), so
it would be excellent if it would be included in 1.3 as well.
