SpringJUnit4ClassRunner和SpringRunner有什么区别

Question

Whenever I see a blog post related to Spring testing I see either of these classes but do not understand the real difference:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

Answer 1

There is no difference, from the javadoc:

SpringRunner is an alias for the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.

ref: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/4.3.0.RC2_to_4.3.0.RELEASE/Spring%20Framework%204.3.0.RELEASE/org/springframework/test/context/junit4/SpringRunner.html

Answer 2

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) tells JUnit to run using Spring's testing support. SpringRunner is the new name for SpringJUnit4ClassRunner , it's just a bit easier on the eye.

SpringRunner is only available on spring-test 4.3.

SpringRunner class extends SpringJUnit4ClassRunner .

Source code of SpringRunner is

package org.springframework.test.context.junit4;

import org.junit.runners.model.InitializationError;

public final class SpringRunner extends SpringJUnit4ClassRunner {

    public SpringRunner(Class<?> clazz) throws InitializationError {
        super(clazz);
    }

}
