[jira] [Commented] (WW-5177) Support testing with JUnit 5

Erica Kane commented on WW-5177:
--------------------------------

As someone with a similar issue, I can get classes that extend `StrutsSpringJUnit4TestCase` to work on JUnit 5 by calling the JUnit 4 `Before` method on it within the JUnit 5 `BeforeEach` method. It's certainly not ideal.

> Hi Team,
>  
> Currently, struts2-junit-plugin supports testing of Spring based struts actions with on JUnit 4 and 3 using {{StrutsSpringTestCase}} and {{StrutsSpringJUnit4TestCase}}. The request is to add support for JUnit 5 with something similar to {{StrutsSpringJUnit5TestCase}}. I understand that we can run JUnit 4 tests using {{junit-vintage-engine}} but in our case we need to combine with other JUnit 5 based extensions - some custom and some already available - Spring, Testcontainers, etc.
>  
> There is no issue in the current issues list to support this. Can I know if there is any plan to support the same? I am happy to make contribution if some one can guide me.
> -----------------------------------
> For POC purposes, I created parallels to {{XWorkJUnit4TestCase}}, {{StrutsJUnit4TestCase}}, and {{StrutsSpringJUnit4TestCase}} with much of the code remaining same. I was able to run tests using Spring's {{ExtendWith}} with a workaround and the workaround needs to be fixed properly.
>  
> Thanks.
