您如何在模块化 Java 项目中组织测试？

Question

I am creating a modular build (using module-info.java) on GitHub , but when adding a module-info.java to the modules that I want modular, no tests can be executed...

How can I achieve this?

I am using the following versions:

• junit.jupiter version 5.3.0 (first take was also unsuccessful with version 5.2.0)
• maven-compiler-plugin version 3.8.0 (first take was also unsuccessful with version 3.7.0)
• maven-surefire-plugin version 2.22.0 (first take was also unsuccessful with version 2.21.0)

A typical error from the failing tests looks like:

java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make com.github.jactor.rises.commons.dto.UserDtoTest() accessible: module jactor.rises.commons does not "opens com.github.jactor.rises.commons.dto" to unnamed module @65e98b1c

Welcome to Testing In The Modular World !

Which kind of tests do you want write?

Extra-module tests : Create a test-only project (no "src/main" directory) and declare a "src/test/java/module-info.java" module descriptor.

In-module tests : As it was from Day 1 you need to "blend in"/merge/shadow your test classes into your main classes or vice versa. Here you have mainly two ways to achieve this:

• "compile modular main sources" and "patch plain test sources" at test-runtime with some additional "JVM options hacking the Module system" to execute tests.
• "compile modular test sources" and "patch modular main sources" at compile-time to execute tests.

There is a (new) option in the Maven Surefire plugin called useModulePath . This option enables to use the traditional Java 8 class path instead of the module path and ignores a module-info.class from the main classes not turning on the Java module mode, ie all class on the calls path can be used.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0-M5</version>
    <configuration>
        <!--  allow to use unnamed modules -->
        <useModulePath>false</useModulePath>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

That way the test sources can be kept as there were in Java 8. Only The main classes have to be modularized.
