http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39995 Summary: junit per-test-method fork mode Product: Ant Version: 1.7Alpha (nightly) Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Optional Tasks AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently, the junit mode's most granular fork level is per testcase (eg, per class). Having a per test method fork level would help in cases where high levels of isolation are needed. A few use cases: 1. I'm using ant to execute junit tests on students' code to determine part of their grade. Often, a student will fail one test case due to a timeout. However, this failure causes ant to not get a score for any other method in that class. While junit4 has a "timeout" field on the test attribute, java lacks a safe way to forcefully abort a thread. As a result, a junit4 style timeout often causes other test cases to timeout (because the rogue thread is still running). Per method isolation would greatly ease this problem. 2. Sometimes, one wants to know if test cases depend on being executed in a specific order. Per method isolation would help. 3. When debugging "strange" crashes, it often helps to isolate test runs. For example, if there were an out of memory exception in test Y, it's quite possible that test X actually has a leak, but didn't allocate quite enough memory to cause the exception. By running in isolation, it'd be easier to tack this down. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
