SpringJUnit4ClassRunner

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, I reopen this issue.

We need to have a Tumbler runner that extends SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, in order 
to wire the tests up with spring beans.

As you specified in 
http://code.google.com/p/tumbler-glass/wiki/IntroductionForDevelopers 
(paragraph "Running Tumbler stories together with Spring"), there's a trick 
which should do it.

BUT

It doesn't look good to me. I think (I have to check it, though) that the 
spring context is then loaded before every test method run, which is not always 
good (like in the case of @DirtiesContext).

I believe that a new runner should be created, which subclasses 
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.

Ok. You're right. Dirties don't work.

Implemented (you can check it in the sources if you need it urgently). Will be 
released with the upcoming release.

Great!!

I had a quick look at the code. One question: is the SpringTumblerRunner 
supporting also JUnit annotations?

With SpringJUnit4ClassRunner I am often using @Before @After @BeforeClass and 
@Ignore - the latter is not that useful with @Scenario(pending = false), 
though. I believe these annotations should be supported by SpringTumblerRunner 
as well.

yep, everything should work, including @Before, rules and everything else.
Some specific Spring annotations will not (e.g. @Timed), but most will (like 
DirtiesContext)
