How to filter JUNIT Tests that are called from eclipse by source path
eclipse, java, junit
Solution
You can right-click the source folder, and select Run As> JUnit Test.
This will run the unit tests in this source folder only.
Alternatively, when editing the Run Configuration, you can select
`Run all tests in the selected project, package or source folder:`
Press `search` and select the folder you wish to run the unit tests of.
See "Customizing a Test Configuration" on Writing and Running JUnit tests of the Eclipse Help.
Same page describes how to create a custom Test Suite using the New Test Suite wizard.
Problem
Assuming that I have a set of source folders in an Eclips project: ``` MyProject base/src/impl base/src/test common/src/api common/src/test common/src/junit ``` Note that these are not packages, they are source folders, inside each one there's a package hierarchy, which can be just the same. Let's say if I have a class com.foo.myproject.DoSomething in the base/src/impl folder, I might have a Test called com.foo.myproject.DoSomethingTest in the base/src/Test folder, and maybe com.foo.myproject.DoSomethingUnitTest in another source folder under same package hierarchy. What I need to do, is run all tests that are under certain source folders. Maybe all that are in a junit folder, but none from the test folder. This works fine from Ant with the junit search patterns, for example: ``` <include name="**/src/junit" /> ``` However, I want to be able to have exactly the same run configurations from Eclipse without having to call Ant. Since there are already many projects, packages and thousands of Test Classes, I am looking for a "lazy" way to get this done, that means, without having to change project structures or having to mantain complex test suites. One Approach I have tried is to use the `org.springframework.core.io.support.PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver` used by ClasspathSuite, but looking for resources in classpath always looks at the merged source folders in one single classes location, so I am not able to filter anymore at the level I intend to do it. I am looking for two ways of doing it: ``` 1. Filter using some TestSuite 2. Filter using some JUNIT Runner Plugin in Eclipse (is there any that can do what I need?) ``` Thanks!
