[jira] Updated: (SUREFIRE-424) A class providing JUnit's suite()
method need not itself implement Test. But Surefire ignores the suite if it
doesn't.

Kristian Rosenvold updated SUREFIRE-424:
----------------------------------------
Component/s: JUnit 3.x support
> A class providing JUnit's suite() method need not itself implement Test. But Surefire ignores the suite if it doesn't.
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-424
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-424
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JUnit 3.x support
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Andreas Krüger
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Backlog
>
>
> Often, there is one test method per test case. JUnit allows a test class to be more flexible: It may generate a test suite at test run time, which may contain any number of tests.
> JUnit has traditionally required
> * a {{public static suite()}} method
> * returning {{junit.framework.Test}} (or some type, such as {{TestSuite}}, that can be cast to {{Test}} ).
> In addition to these JUnit requirements, Surefire imposes one more requirement:
> * the class that contains the {{suite()}} method needs to itself implement {{junit.framework.Test}} .
> If that additional requirement is not met, the {{suite()}} method is not called, but silently ignored.
> Surefire should not impose this additional requirement, but call any {{suite()}} method that returns something that can be cast to {{junit.framework.Test}} , in any test class.
