[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (BUILDR-62) JUnit test filtering should allow custom filtering, and not test JUnit @Test annotation on class

One of the biggest strengths of JDave is the fact that it doesn't _need_ any special tools support so I consider dropping this from Buildr 1.3 a serious regression. Especially considering how Buildr doesn't support JDave "natively" I strongly encourage you to merge this patch (or some other version of the patch) as a stop-gap measure so that existing users can upgrade to 1.3.

Furthermore, keep in mind that @RunWith _is not_ specific to JDave at all so you're potentially breaking other working setups as well here.

> 2) every class that is annotated with JUnit 4 @Test
> 3) every method that is annotated with JUnit 4 @Test
> 2) is clearly wrong, as @Test only applies to methods, not classes

> Also, I found no way to run JDave ( http://www.jdave.org/ ) specs or a custom suite with the current 1.3 trunk (22 April 2008). In 1.2, this is very easy with Buildr::Java::JUnit::JUNIT_TESTS_PATTERN filtering by test / spec class names. 
> Some kind of an abstraction for filtering the relevant test or spec classes is important not only for custom test framework integration, but for custom suites in big projects. Running a lot of tests is typically faster in a suite, and when you have different sets of tests (unit, integration, acceptance, black-box against a deployed application, ...) you typically want to specify which set to run. For example, the continuous integration server might only run tests against the deployed application a couple of times a day, but unit tests all the time for fast feedback. Different grouping methods of test frameworks are framework specific, and rather than making Buildr support framework specific ways, it could operate on an extra abstraction level.
> Filtering by class name has worked well elsewhere (ant, maven, buildr 1.2), so it would be excellent if it would be included in 1.3 as well.
