如何指定测试中方法的执行顺序？

Question

I have a .java file called myTest.java and inside of it I have two test methods (in this order created) called:

public void testGrabSubdevicedata(){
     // do something and assert 
}

public void testSubdevice(){
    // do something again and assert
}

For some reason it executes the "testSubdevice()" method first, and so there must be some sort of alphabetical method execution set. How do I turn this off so it executes in the order I placed it it?

EDIT:

This is with Eclipse Jee Neon and Maven plugin.

Answer 1

You can use

import org.junit.FixMethodOrder;

@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
public class WhateverTest {

This will guarantee you that JUnit runs your test in that specific order. There aren't too many such orders; but probably one that fits your needs.

But a word of warning: this is bad practice! Fixing execution order is something that you should only do when you have very good reasons to do so.

Finally: read about java naming style guides. Class names start UpperCase; always; even for tests.
