How can I run all JUnit unit tests except those ending in "IntegrationTest" in my IntelliJ IDEA project using the integrated test runner?

Question

I basically want to run all JUnit unit tests in my IntelliJ IDEA project (excluding JUnit integration tests), using the static suite() method of JUnit. Why use the static suite() method? Because I can then use IntelliJ IDEA's JUnit test runner to run all unit tests in my application (and easily exclude all integration tests by naming convention). The code so far looks like this:

package com.acme;

import junit.framework.Test;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import junit.framework.TestSuite;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;

public class AllUnitTests extends TestCase {

    public static Test suite() {
        List classes = getUnitTestClasses();
        return createTestSuite(classes);
    }

    private static List getUnitTestClasses() {
        List classes = new ArrayList();
        classes.add(CalculatorTest.class);
        return classes;
    }

    private static TestSuite createTestSuite(List allClasses) {
        TestSuite suite = new TestSuite("All Unit Tests");
        for (Iterator i = allClasses.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
            suite.addTestSuite((Class<? extends TestCase>) i.next());
        }
        return suite;
    }

}

The method getUnitTestClasses() should be rewritten to add all project classes extending TestCase, except if the class name ends in "IntegrationTest".

I know I can do this easily in Maven for example, but I need to do it in IntelliJ IDEA so I can use the integrated test runner - I like the green bar :)

Answer 1

How about putting each major group of junit tests into their own root package. I use this package structure in my project:

test.
  quick.
    com.acme
  slow.
    com.acme

Without any coding, you can set up IntelliJ to run all tests, just the quick ones or just the slow ones.
