I am trying to invoke a JUnit Test suite using the API. I know that you can suite up test classes using the following:
@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({
Test1.class,
Test2.class, ...
})
But, is there a way to trigger the entire suite using the Java API, using JUnitCore for example?
For example, you can trigger a test by using the following code:
Runner r =
try {
r = new BlockJUnit4ClassRunner(Class.forName(testClass));
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | InitializationError e) {
// handle
}
JUnitCore c = new JUnitCore();
c.run(Request.runner(r));
Update:
From the API, it seems that the Suite class itself is a runner, hence the following code seems to work:
Suite suite = new Suite(klass, new RunnerBuilder() {
... // Implement methods
});
JUnitCore c = new JUnitCore();
c.run(Request.runner(suite));
But I am not sure if this is a recommended approach or if there is any downside to writing the above code.
