introduce a new test type to run junit tests from the current harness
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-918
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-918
Project: Derby
Type: Improvement
Components: Test
Environment: All
Reporter: Andreas Korneliussen
Assigned to: Andreas Korneliussen
It seems to me that for including a new JUnit test into i.e derby-all we need
to make a new java class with a main() method, which parses a command line and
set up the testsuite and run it, just like any java program. Basically we are
running the junit tests as test type "java".
Instead of having to do this for every junit test going into a derby test
suite, I would propose a different strategy.
I propose to introduce a new test type called "junit" (current test types are:
sql,sql2,unit,java,multi,demo - unit is not junit)
Then you can use:
java org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunTest
<TestCaseClassName>.junit
to run a Junit test - instead of:
java org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.harness.RunTest
<AnotherClassWithMainMethod>.java
When starting a test of type junit, the RunTest class may simply use the
junit.textui.TestRunner class, which has a main method which takes a TestCase
class name as parameter. The junit.textui.TestRunner runs the tests defined
by the suite() method of the TestCase class.
I think this strategy will make it easier to integrate new JUnit tests into the
current test suites, since it save you the trouble of creating a java class
with a main method for every test.
