FrameworkMethod didn't get the right test

[laaron2008]

• ( ) Bug report. version: junit4-dataprovider 2.6

my test class likes this

my dataprovider likes this

when I run the getProduct case, the method is not getProduct, why?

[aaschmid]

First guess: This is most likely due to the test names which are adjusted for working with data providers. What is the output of method.getName()?

[laaron2008]

it's getDuplicationProductDetail

[aaschmid]

Ok, understood. This is a problem because before we know which test cases are available, we need to execute the dataProvider. The result of the ´dataProvider` is however cached and therefore only called once in order to do not waste time. In your case with the wrong name :-(

Can you try switching the cache off using @DataProvider(cache = false) instead?

[laaron2008]

I tried, but got the same result. I just added the @DataProvider(cache = false) Is there anything else I need to do?

[aaschmid]

No, this should do the trick. The dataProvider method should now be called multiple times, once for each test method referencing it.

Then, I need some more time and try to get a reproducer for the issue.

[aaschmid]

I am sorry @laaron2008 but I cannot reproduce it using cache = false. Here is my reproducer https://github.com/aaschmid/junit-dataprovider--134. Executed the tests from within IntelliJj or ./gradlew -i --no-build-cache clean test --tests "MyTest.getProduct[*0: {}, {}*]" on command line.

[laaron2008]

I changed https://github.com/aaschmid/junit-dataprovider--134, and reproduce the problem. when I run the getProduct case, the method.getName() printed getDuplicationProductDetail

[laaron2008]

I guess the problem is

MyTest extends BaseJunit

[aaschmid]

Even though I would not suggest adding the @RunWith(DataProviderRunner.class) on BaseJunit I cannot reproduce it (see updates on https://github.com/aaschmid/junit-dataprovider--134). What did I do forget?

Reason why I would not inherit from BaseJunit: because e.g. the IDE thinks you can execute it as tests which fails with org.junit.runners.model.InvalidTestClassError: Invalid test class 'BaseJunit' if there are not real test cases in there, e.g. if you run all test cases. And if there are testcases in, they will be executed with every child test class once...

[aaschmid]

Same in IntelliJ

[laaron2008]

I gave up inherit and the case worked, thanks

[aaschmid]

Ack, so I will close the issue. Don't hesitate to re-open it.
