Continuing test execution in junit4 even when one of the asserts fails

Question

I have my existing framework built up using Jfunc which provides a facility to continue exection even when one of the asserts in the test case fails. Jfunc uses junit 3.x framework. But now we are migrating to junit4 so I can't use Jfunc anymore and have replaced it with junit 4.10 jar.
Now the problem is since we have extensively used jfunc in our framework, and with junit 4 we want to make our code continue the execution even when one of the asserts fails in a test case.
Does anyone has any suggestion/idea for this, i know in junit the tests needs to be more atomic i.e. one assert per test case but we can't do that in our framework for some reason.

Answer 1

You can do this using an ErrorCollector rule.

To use it, first add the rule as a field in your test class:

public class MyTest {     @Rule     public ErrorCollector collector = new ErrorCollector();      //...tests... } 

Then replace your asserts with calls to collector.checkThat(...).

e.g.

@Test public void myTest() {     collector.checkThat("a", equalTo("b"));     collector.checkThat(1, equalTo(2)); } 

Answer 2

I use the ErrorCollector too but also use assertThat and place them in a try catch block.

import static org.junit.Assert.*; import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;  @Rule public ErrorCollector collector = new ErrorCollector();  @Test public void calculatedValueShouldEqualExpected() {     try {         assertThat(calculatedValue(), is(expected));     } catch (Throwable t) {         collector.addError(t);         // do something     } }
