Sure you can get strange behaviour in some cases but I think if the Developer of the test knows that his context is per class it should be ok. I am not proposing to change the default as current tests sometimes will rely on running isolated. I rather propose to write new tests with one context per class where possible and of course to rewrite old tests over time.

While you are right that per method will avoid most side effects I think the test time could be the more important argument. Currently the whole camel build takes way tool long and perhaps this is one way to bring the time down.

All tests should run isolated.

If you start to keep the JVM up for each test method you can really
get some strange and subtle side effects with testing.

Hi all,

I am currently debugging a little in the tests for jetty because I got an
error in a test.
While doing so I found out that the camel context or even the spring context
is (re)started for each test method. Wouldn´t it be much more efficient to
do this only per class?
I guess the tests could take less then half the time after this change. What
do you think?

Greetings
