[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2086) TS: Tests grouping

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2086?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Honza Brázdil edited comment on AS7-2086 at 7/24/12 8:19 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------- Hierarchical structure of Categories is not possible in surefire. fx: Category hierarchy and tests: {code:java} interface AllTests; interface ATests extends AllTests; interface BTests extends AllTests; interface AaTests extends ATests; @Category(ATests.class) public void ATest(); @Category(AaTests.class) public void AaTest(); @Category(BTests.class) public void BTest(); {code} and surefire groups set to: {code:xml}<groups>eu.janinko.test.category.ATests</groups>{code} runs only test {code}ATest{code} not {code} ATest AaTest {code} as wanted. It is because surefire's GroupMatcher ( http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/surefire/trunk/surefire-grouper/src... ) in it's method enabled( Class<?>... cats ) compares classes according their names. {code:java} String name = cls.getName(); if ( enabledClass != null && enabledClass.getName().equals( name ) ) { {code} JUnit instead of using string comparisons uses Class.isAssignableFrom(Class cls). was (Author: janinko): Hierarchical structure (fx: {code:java} interface AllTests; {code} of Categories is not possible in surefire because surefire's GroupMatcher ( http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/surefire/trunk/surefire-grouper/src... ) in method enabled( Class<?>... cats ) compares classes according their names. JUnit instead of using string comparisons uses Class.isAssignableFrom(Class cls) so it accepts classes according to their hierarchical structure. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
