i am writing my first maven plugin and want to add unit tests for it. i read some about that and it seems that i need to extend AbstractMojoTestCase. But with this i only have JUnit3 style. Is there any way to use Junit4 (i want it mainly because of the "@Rule"s) probably in conjunction with mockito and/or guice (=juckito)?
At first step i need to inject @Parameter. i tried System.setProperty("some.prop", "someValue"); but this isn't working (parameter are null).
thx in advance
I haven't tried this, but I think the following approach would work. (I have used it with another library that had a similar problem.)
Step 1 - create a subclass of AbstractMojoTestCase
I know what you are thinking. This class has the same problem - that it is a JUnit 3.8 class. But that's ok. You aren't going to run it. All you are going to do is make public methods that you need to call. For example:
public org.codehaus.plexus.PlexusContainer getContainer() { return super.getContainer(); } Step 2 - write your JUnit 4 test
Write your Junit 4 test giving it a "helper" instance variable of the class in step 1. Have a @Before and @After method call the helper variable's setUp and tearDown methods.
