Before stepping into the TDD cycle, I like to sketch out the tests that need to be implemented - i.e. write empty test methods with speaking names.
Unfortunately I have not found a way to "paint them yellow" - mark them as pending for JUnit. I can make them either fail or pass. Now I am letting them fail by throwing an Exception
, but I'd rather use an equivalent of pending
from rspec.
Is there such an option in JUnit or an "adjacent" library?
When tests are run at the command line with SBT, pending lines are printed in a yellow(ish) color. Marking tests as pending helps support the TDD style, and it's a convenient way of saying, “I need to write this test and implement the code behind it, but I haven't gotten there yet.”
A JUnit test is a method contained in a class which is only used for testing. This is called a Test class. To mark a method as a test method, annotate it with the @Test annotation. This method executes the code under test.
If you want to ignore a test method, use @Ignore along with @Test annotation. If you want to ignore all the tests of class, use @Ignore annotation at the class level.
You press the 'Stop JUnit test run' wanting to halt the execution immediately. And it doesn't! Then you must go to the Debug view (why that name? i'm not debugging, i'm running) and 'Terminate' it from there.
You can use @Ignore
to ignore the test,
or this library to introduce the @PendingImplementation
annotation:

I don't think there are other ways to achieve this..
