[hibernate-dev] Re: Hibernate test suite

I am just now checking in the reorganization of the Hibernate test suite I have been working on for the last few days. The main piece is the addition of the org.hibernate.junit package in the test source directory. Specifically, tests in the test suite now have two well defined flavors: 1) org.hibernate.junit.UnitTestCase 2) org.hibernate.junit.functional.FunctionalTestCase The vast majority of the Hibernate test suite falls into the later category... Also, a new custom TestSuite subclass was introduced for FunctionalTestCase classes (org.hibernate.junit.functional.FunctionalTestClassTestSuite). FunctionalTestCase classes should use this custom test suite from their suite() method. The main reason for this set up is to allow better sharing of a SessionFactory between TestCase methods. Previously, the org.hibernate.test.TestCase class had this responsibility. The problems being that it did not have visibility into when the "run" completed. So it just left the schema for the last run test hanging around. This new set up makes sure that does not happen, because it is the test suite which is responsible for building/closing the SessionFactory. FunctionalTestCase does build a SessionFactory if one is not injected into it by FunctionalTestClassTestSuite (or some other source). It considers this a "locally managed" SessionFactory which will get closed after the completion of the test method; this is for running a single method in an IDE. Anyway, the test suite should start working again ;)
