I am running JUnit tests that test a Spring Boot application. I have a @Before method and an @After one. Then I have a bunch of @Test methods which are the actual tests.
However, my @Before and @After methods execute before and after each test, respectively, instead of executing once before all the tests, and once after all the tests.
Could it be that I'm also using this annotation?
@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
Methods annotated with the @Before annotation are run before each test.
org.junitAnnotating a public void method with @After causes that method to be run after the Test method. All @After methods are guaranteed to run even if a Before or Test method throws an exception.
JUnit provides annotations that help in setup and teardown. It ensures that resources are released, and the test system is in a ready state for next test case.
By default, the beforeAll and afterAll blocks apply to every test in a file.
This is the normal behaviour of @Before and @After. Quoting the documentation of @Before, for example:
Annotating a public void method with
@Beforecauses that method to be run before theTestmethod.
If you want to run a method only once before and after all the tests, you can use @BeforeClass and @AfterClass. Quoting the documentation of @BeforeClass for example:
Annotating a public static void no-arg method with
@BeforeClasscauses it to be run once before any of the test methods in the class.
