断言导致JUnit测试停止

Question

In the class I am testing, there are a few assert statements that check for various conditions.

One of the methods is

GetNames(string id){
    assert(! id.Equals("")); // Causes all junit tests to stop
    ...
}

and there is an assert statement to check if id is not blank.

In my unit tests, I have one test where I pass it a blank string, and a few others. The problem is that when the assert statement gets executed in the class, the JUnit tests stop running after that test case.

How can I change/setup the unit tests so that if there is an assertion failure in the class, the tests do not stop.

I have to enable the assertions in order for the code to run properly since there are cases where variables are incremented in the assertions. Unfortunately, I cannot change any of the code.

I am using the JUnit plugin in eclipse. I do not have any code in the setup and teardown sections.

If you have assert statements in the code being tested, and assertions are enabled , then those statements will be causing an AssertionError to be thrown. You can catch that in your test code and ignore it:

try {
    xxx.GetNames("");
} catch (AssertionError e) {
    // this is expected - ignore it
}
