JDT UI/JUnit 5 Plan
Must be fixed:
- Re-running a test should use its unique id - DONE.
-- Try till Sept 1 --
- Bug 502563 - APIs to get FQNs and type signatures of method parameter types - JDT Core (Jay)
- Find workarounds in place of the APIs.
- 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
- Support arrays, parameterized types, type parameters as test parameters
-- // --
- Check that JUnit compatibility is maintained in Eclipse (should be able to use old junit.runtime bundles with new junit.core/ui bundles) and fix issues, if any -- 1 day to check and more to fix if issues are found.
- 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 -- 2 days.
- Add test setup and test cases for JUnit 5 work - 2 days.
- Support TestDescriptors with type container_and_test, currently we assume that a test descriptor can be either a test or a container -- 1 day.
- Do proper testing (also with custom test engines) and fix bugs - 2 days.
- Bug 518163 - Add support for launching JUnit 5 plug-in tests - PDE (Vikas) - ?
Other tasks (must be fixed): (Parallelly ongoing tasks)
- Create Marketplace entry for JUnit 5 support
- Uploading sources and getting CQs approved for JUnit 5 RC2, RC3 and GA
- Adding JUnit 5 RC2, RC3 and GA JARs to Orbit and testing the bundles
- Updating prereqs file with JUnit 5 RC2, RC3 and GA JARs to include in U-builds
- Update jdtOptions.txt (bug 518185)
- Merge BETA_JUNIT5 branch to master and later to R4_7 with correct versions
Should be fixed:
- Add provision to use @Tag filtering in Eclipse - needs investigation first on how this can be supported in Eclipse - 1 week.
- 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
