JDT UI/JUnit 5 Plan

Must be fixed:

  • Bug 521242 - Re-running a test should use its unique id - DONE
  • Bug 502563 - APIs to get FQNs and type signatures of method parameter types - JDT Core - (Jay) - WONTFIX
  • Bug 521243 - Find workarounds in place of the above APIs - DONE
  • Use the above APIs/workarounds in JDT UI at all relevant places and check if everything works - open action, xml serializer/parser may need special handling (bug 521243) - DONE
  • Support arrays, parameterized types, type parameters as test parameters (bug 521243) - DONE
  • Bug 518163 - Add support for launching JUnit 5 plug-in tests - PDE - (Vikas) - DONE
  • Bug 521841 - JUnit launch configuration should give error if JRE < 1.8 - DONE
  • Bug 521464 - Re-running a test method shows its parameter types in non-readable form - DONE
  • Check that JUnit compatibility is maintained in Eclipse (should be able to use old junit.runtime bundles with new junit.core/ui bundles) - (Dani) - DONE.
  • Bug 521246 - Add provision to use @Tag filtering - DONE
  • Bug 521854 - Provide UI to add tags to be included or excluded in test run - (Sarika) - DONE
  • Integration of tags UI values with the test runner - DONE
  • Bug 522119 - Add org.apiguardian to JUnit 5 container - DONE
  • Bug 525662 - Display TestReporter entries to stdout - DONE
  • Bug 522732 - JUnit Jupiter @Nested test classes are executed in separate launcher - DONE


Other tasks (must be fixed):

  • Create Marketplace entry for JUnit 5 support - DONE
  • Uploading sources and getting CQs approved for JUnit 5 RC2, RC3 and GA - DONE
  • Adding JUnit 5 RC2, RC3 and GA JARs to Orbit and testing the bundles - DONE
  • Updating prereqs file with JUnit 5 RC2, RC3 and GA JARs to include in U-builds - DONE
  • Update jdtOptions.txt (bug 518185) - DONE
  • Merge BETA_JUNIT5 branch to master - DONE
  • Merge BETA_JUNIT5 branch to R4_7 - DONE


Must be fixed:

  • Bug 521244 - Add test setup and test cases for JUnit 5 work
  • Compatibility with Java 9.
  • Support TestDescriptors with type container_and_test, currently we assume that a test descriptor can be either a test or a container.
  • Do proper testing (also with custom test engines) and fix bugs.
  • Go through release notes and fixed GitHub issues from JUnit 5 M5, M6, RC1, RC2, RC3 to identify issues/support required in Eclipse and fix them - PARTLY DONE (can be taken up if time permits or can be handled via bug reports from users).
  • Bug 525650 - Display of TestReporter entries


Should be fixed:

  • Support selectors and TestSources other than class and method - needs investigation first to check if this can be supported
  • Support for running JUnit 5 tests with JUnit 4 launcher - needs investigation to see if anything is required here


Nice to have (out of scope for Oxygen.1a release):

  • Provide quick assists to migrate from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5:

- To replace JUnit 4 @Test with JUnit 5 @Test
- To replace @Before, @After, @BeforeClass, @AfterClass with the corresponding new annotations
- To replace @Ignore with @Disable
- To remove 'public' access modifiers etc.

  • Needs investigation for other possibilities
