JUnit – Ignore Test

JUnit – Ignore Test

Sometimes our code is not ready, but test case written to test. Such a situation that method/code will fail if run. The @Ignore annotation helps in this regards.

JUnit engine will just bypass the method which annotate as ignore.

Below simple example explain how the @ignore works in Junit.

1. TestJUnitMessageUtil.java

public class TestJUnitMessageUtil {

     private String message;

     /**

     * Constructor

     * @param message

     */

     public TestJUnitMessageUtil(String message){

         this.message = message;

     }

     //Print the message

     public String printMessage(){    

          return this.message;

     }

     //Print the modified message

     public String printModifiedMessage(){

          return "Hi " + this.message;

     }

}

2. IgnoreTest.java

import org.junit.Assert;

import org.junit.Ignore;

import org.junit.Test;

import org.junit.runner.JUnitCore;

import org.junit.runner.Result;

import org.junit.runner.notification.Failure;

public class IgnoreTest {

      TestJUnitMessageUtil messageUtil = new TestJUnitMessageUtil("Sanjeeva");

      @Ignore

      @Test

      public void printMessage(){

            Assert.assertEquals("Sanjeeva", messageUtil.printMessage());

      }

     @Test

     public void printModifiedMessage(){

           Assert.assertEquals("Hi Sanjeeva", messageUtil.printModifiedMessage());

     }

     /**

     * @param args

     */

     public static void main(String[] args) {

           Result result = JUnitCore.runClasses(IgnoreTest.class);

           for (Failure failure : result.getFailures()) {

                   System.out.println(failure.toString());

           }

           System.out.println(result.wasSuccessful());

     }

}
