Hi,
Now that JUnit 5.4.0 is out we have test ordering. I propose the following best practices
for TC-based docker tests:
@UITest
@TestMethodOrder(OrderAnnotation.class)
public class MenuIT
{
@Test
@Order(1)
public void verifyMenuInApplicationsIndex(TestUtils setup)
{
...
}
@Test
@Order(2)
public void verifyMenuCreationInLeftPanelWithCurrentWikiVisibility(TestUtils setup)
{
...
}
@Test
@Order(3)
public void verifyMenuIsAvailableInAdministration(TestUtils setup) throws Exception
{
…
}
Instead of the current:
@Test
public void verifyMenu(TestUtils setup) throws Exception
{
verifyMenuInApplicationsIndex(setup);
verifyMenuCreationInLeftPanelWithCurrentWikiVisibility(setup);
verifyMenuIsAvailableInAdministration(setup);
}
Pros:
* Easier to run each test
* Easier to debug and view recorded video for a specific failing test
* More in sync with JUnit’s practices
* It’s still a scenario and thus doesn’t incur penalty of extra test setup
Cons:
* Starts and stop the VNC docker container for each test. It takes between 1 and 2s to
start the VNC container and the stop (i.e. video recording save) should be the same as
before.
So I think it’s worth it. Out of 3mn, 3-6 more seconds for 3 tests is not too much
(between 2% and 3% more).
WDYT?
Thanks
