Adding tear down method to junit test suite after loading class dynamically


I load all test dynamically in to a test suite like this:

@RunWith(AllTests.class)
public final class MyTestSuite {
    public static TestSuite suite() {               
        TestSuite suite = new TestSuite();
        for (Test test : findAllTestCasesRuntime()) { // returns a list of JUnit4TestAdapter(Class.forName(fileName))
          suite.addTest(test);
        }    
        return suite;
      }
}

I would like to add a @after method to the testsuite that is run for all tests. Today each test has this method doing the exact same thing. I have tried to subclass testsuite and add an @after method but with no luck.


Solution

  • This is the solution I found: I created a base test class:

    @Ignore
    public class MyTestBase {
        @After
        public void runsAfterEveryTestFromBaseClass() {
            //code
        }   
    }
    

    My actual test class now extends this class so the code in the question now looks like this:

    @RunWith(AllTests.class)
    public final class MyTestSuite extends MyTestBase{
        public static TestSuite suite() {               
            TestSuite suite = new TestSuite();
            for (Test test : findAllTestCasesRuntime()) { // returns a list of JUnit4TestAdapter(Class.forName(fileName))
              suite.addTest(test);
            }    
            return suite;
          }
    }
    

    Now the code in the runsAfterEveryTestFromBaseClass method runs after every test.
