Maven Plugin launching the JUnit Platform

Features

This plugin was presented by Sander Mak at Devoxx 2018: https://youtu.be/l4Dk7EF-oYc?t=2346

Prerequisites

Using this plugin requires at least:

Simple Usage

The following sections describe the default and minimal usage pattern of this plugin.

JUnit Jupiter API

Add test compile dependencies into your project's pom.xml. For example, if you want to write tests using the JUnit Jupiter API, you only need the junit-jupiter artifact:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
    <version>5.10.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Configure the junit-platform-maven-plugin like this in the <build><plugins>-section:

<plugin>
  <groupId>de.sormuras.junit</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit-platform-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.7</version>
  <extensions>true</extensions> <!-- Necessary to execute it in 'test' phase. -->
  <configuration>
    <isolation>NONE</isolation> <!-- Version 1.0.0 defaults to ABSOLUTE. -->
  </configuration>
</plugin>

This minimal configuration uses the extensions facility to:

Pure Maven Plugin Mode

If you want to execute this plugin side-by-side with Surefire you have two options.

Either use the <extensions>true</extensions> as described above and also set the following system property to true: junit.platform.maven.plugin.surefire.keep.executions.

Or omit the <extensions>true</extensions> line (or set it to false) and register this plugin's launch goal manually to the test phase:

<plugin>
  <groupId>de.sormuras.junit</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit-platform-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.7</version>
  <extensions>false</extensions> <!-- Neither install this plugin into `test` phase, nor touch Surefire. -->
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>Launch JUnit Platform</id>
      <phase>test</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>launch</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
      ...
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

JUnit Platform Configuration

The following sections describe how to pass arguments to the JUnit Platform. The parameters described below are similar to those used by the Console Launcher on purpose.

Class Name Patterns

Provide regular expressions to include only classes whose fully qualified names match. To avoid loading classes unnecessarily, the default pattern only includes class names that begin with "Test" or end with "Test" or "Tests".

The configuration below extends the default pattern to include also class names that end with "TestCase":

<configuration>
  <classNamePatterns>
    <pattern>^(Test.*|.+[.$]Test.*|.*Tests?)$</pattern>
    <pattern>.*TestCase</pattern>
  </classNamePatterns>
</configuration>

Tags

Tags or tag expressions to include only tests whose tags match.

https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#running-tests-tag-expressions

<configuration>
  <tags>
    <tag>foo</tag>
    <tag>bar</tag>
  </tags>
</configuration>

Additional Custom Configuration Parameters

https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#running-tests-config-params

<configuration>
  <parameters>
    <junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.enabled>true</junit.jupiter.execution.parallel.enabled>
    <ninety.nine>99</ninety.nine>
  </parameters>
</configuration>

Selectors

https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/api/org/junit/platform/engine/discovery/package-summary.html

<configuration>
  <selectors>
    <classes>
      <class>JupiterTest</class>
      <class>JupiterTests</class>
      <class>TestJupiter</class>
    </classes>
  </selectors>
</configuration>

All supported selectors are listed below:

Plugin Configuration

The following sections describe how to configure the JUnit Platform Maven Plugin.

Dry Run

Dry-run mode discovers tests but does not execute them.

<configuration>
  <dryRun>true|false</dryRun>
</configuration>

Defaults to false.

Global Timeout

Global timeout duration defaults to 300 seconds.

<configuration>
  <timeout>300</timeout>
</configuration>

Execution Progress

Duration between output and error log file sizes during execution (JAVA execution mode only). Defaults to 60 seconds.

<configuration>
  <executionProgress>60</executionProgress>
</configuration>

Log Charset

Charset format for the output and error log files. Defaults to Charset.defaultCharset() for JDK 17 and lower, System.getProperty("native.encoding") for JDK 18 and higher.

<configuration>
  <charset>UTF-8</charset>
</configuration>

Isolation Level

ClassLoader hierarchy configuration.

<configuration>
  <isolation>ABSOLUTE|ALMOST|MERGED|NONE</isolation>
</configuration>

Defaults to NONE.

Isolation: ABSOLUTE

Executor

The JUnit Platform Maven Plugin supports two modes of execution: DIRECT and JAVA.

<configuration>
  <executor>DIRECT|JAVA</executor>
</configuration>

DIRECT is the default execution mode.

Executor: DIRECT

Launch the JUnit Platform Launcher "in-process". Direct execution doesn't support any special options - it inherits all Java-related settings from Maven's Plugin execution "sandbox".

Executor: JAVA

Fork new a JVM calling java via Java's Process API and launch the JUnit Platform Console Launcher.

class JavaOptions {
  /**
   * This is the path to the {@code java} executable.
   *
   * <p>When this parameter is not set or empty, the plugin attempts to load a {@code jdk} toolchain
   * and use it to find the {@code java} executable. If no {@code jdk} toolchain is defined in the
   * project, the {@code java} executable is determined by the current {@code java.home} system
   * property, extended to {@code ${java.home}/bin/java[.exe]}.
   */
  String executable = "";

  /** Passed as {@code -Dfile.encoding=${encoding}, defaults to {@code UTF-8}. */
  String encoding = "UTF-8";

  /** Play nice with calling process. */
  boolean inheritIO = false;

  /** Override <strong>all</strong> Java command line options. */
  List<String> overrideJavaOptions = emptyList();

  /** Override <strong>all</strong> JUnit Platform Console Launcher options. */
  List<String> overrideLauncherOptions = emptyList();

  /** Additional Java command line options prepended to auto-generated options. */
  List<String> additionalOptions = emptyList();

  /** Argument for the {@code --add-modules} options: like {@code ALL-MODULE-PATH,ALL-DEFAULT}. */
  String addModulesArgument = "";
}

Example

<configuration>
  <executor>JAVA</executor>
  <javaOptions>
    <inheritIO>true</inheritIO>
    <additionalOptions>
      <additionalOption>--show-version</additionalOption>
      <additionalOption>--show-module-resolution</additionalOption>
    </additionalOptions>
  </javaOptions>
</configuration>

Plugin Configuration Tweaks

Tweak options to fine-tune test execution.

class Tweaks {
  /** Fail test run if no tests are found. */
  boolean failIfNoTests = true;

  /** Enable execution of Java language's {@code assert} statements. */
  boolean defaultAssertionStatus = true;

  /** Use platform or thread context classloader. */
  boolean platformClassLoader = true;

  /** Move any test engine implementations to the launcher classloader. */
  boolean moveTestEnginesToLauncherClassLoader = true;

  /** Fail if worker is not loaded in isolation. */
  boolean workerIsolationRequired = true;

  /** A missing test output directory and no explicit selector configured: skip execution. */
  boolean skipOnMissingTestOutputDirectory = true;

  /** Force ansi to be disabled for java executions. */
  boolean disableAnsi = false;

  /** List of additional raw (local) test path elements. */
  List<String> additionalTestPathElements = emptyList();

  /** List of additional raw (local) launcher path elements. */
  List<String> additionalLauncherPathElements = emptyList();

  /** List of {@code group:artifact} dependencies to exclude from all path sets. */
  List<String> dependencyExcludes = emptyList();

  /** List of {@code group:artifact:version} dependencies to include in test path set. */
  List<String> additionalTestDependencies = emptyList();

  /** List of {@code group:artifact:version} dependencies to include in launcher path set. */
  List<String> additionalLauncherDependencies = emptyList();
}

Error "No tests found."

If the plugin reports "No tests found." it may be due to:

Possible solutions:

<configuration>
  <tweaks>
    <failIfNoTests>false</failIfNoTests>
  </tweaks>
</configuration>

Modular Testing

https://sormuras.github.io/blog/2018-09-11-testing-in-the-modular-world.html

Modular Test Mode

A test mode is defined by the relation of one main and one test module name.

                          main plain    main module   main module
                             ---            foo           bar
     test plain  ---          C              B             B
     test module foo          M              A             M
     test module bar          M              M             A

Copied from junit-platform-isolator/.../TestMode.java

class TestMode {
  static TestMode of(String main, String test) {
    var mainAbsent = main == null || main.trim().isEmpty();
    var testAbsent = test == null || test.trim().isEmpty();
    if (mainAbsent) {
      if (testAbsent) { // trivial case: no modules declared at all
        return CLASSIC;
      }
      return MODULAR; // only test module is present, no patching involved
    }
    if (testAbsent) { // only main module is present
      return MODULAR_PATCHED_TEST_RUNTIME;
    }
    if (main.equals(test)) { // same module name
      return MODULAR_PATCHED_TEST_COMPILE;
    }
    return MODULAR; // bi-modular testing, no patching involved
  }
}

module-info.test support

This plugin also integrates additional compiler flags specified in a module-info.test file. For example, if your tests need to access types from a module shipping with the JDK (here: java.scripting). Note that each non-comment line represents a single argument that is passed to the compiler as an option.

// Make module visible.
--add-modules
  java.scripting

// Same as "requires java.scripting" in a regular module descriptor.
--add-reads
  greeter.provider=java.scripting

See src/it/modular-world-2-main-module-test-plain for details.
