Create new JUnit test and run with git bisect

Question

If I get a bug report that says "Since this release I cannot longer enter negative values" then I would like to create a JUnit test for this.

@Test
assertCanPutNegative(){}

This testcase I would like to run on the latest 10 commits for example by doing

git bisect start
git bisect bad
git bisect good a4426026a056049504 <- commit known to work

then i would like to run my newly created testcase on all of these commits.

Can I do that easily with git bisect run mvn clean test (because my test will disappear in the bisecting process)?

Can i do something else in the run command to make this work?

Answer 1

You could do it like this:

• create a new branch
• add the test with a new commit
• place the commit with rebase just after the last known working commit
• run git bisect run mvn clean test
