@API(status=STABLE,
     since="1.11")
public class UniqueIdTrackingListener
extends Object
implements TestExecutionListener

UniqueIdTrackingListener is a TestExecutionListener that tracks the unique IDs of all tests that were executed during the execution of the TestPlan and generates a file containing the unique IDs once execution of the TestPlan has finished.

Tests are tracked regardless of their TestExecutionResult or whether they were skipped, and the unique IDs are written to an output file, one ID per line, encoding using UTF-8.

The output file can be used to execute the same set of tests again without having to query the user configuration for the test plan and without having to perform test discovery again. This can be useful for test environments such as within a native image — for example, a GraalVM native image — in order to rerun the exact same tests from a standard JVM test run within a native image.

Configuration and Defaults

The OUTPUT_DIR is the directory in which this listener generates the output file. The exact path of the generated file is OUTPUT_DIR/OUTPUT_FILE_PREFIX-<random number>.txt, where <random number> is a pseudo-random number. The inclusion of a random number in the file name ensures that multiple concurrently executing test plans do not overwrite each other's results.

The value of the OUTPUT_FILE_PREFIX defaults to DEFAULT_OUTPUT_FILE_PREFIX, but a custom prefix can be set via the OUTPUT_FILE_PREFIX_PROPERTY_NAME configuration property.

The OUTPUT_DIR can be set to a custom directory via the OUTPUT_DIR_PROPERTY_NAME configuration property. Otherwise the following algorithm is used to select a default output directory.

• If the current working directory of the Java process contains a file named pom.xml, the output directory will be ./target, following the conventions of Maven.
• If the current working directory of the Java process contains a file with the extension .gradle or .gradle.kts, the output directory will be ./build, following the conventions of Gradle.
• Otherwise, the current working directory of the Java process will be used as the output directory.

For example, in a project using Gradle as the build tool, the file generated by this listener would be ./build/junit-platform-unique-ids-<random number>.txt by default.

Configuration properties can be set via JVM system properties, via a junit-platform.properties file in the root of the classpath, or as JUnit Platform configuration parameters.

LISTENER_ENABLED_PROPERTY_NAME

public static final String LISTENER_ENABLED_PROPERTY_NAME

Property name used to enable the UniqueIdTrackingListener: "junit.platform.listeners.uid.tracking.enabled"

The UniqueIdTrackingListener is registered automatically via Java's ServiceLoader mechanism but disabled by default.

Set the value of this property to true to enable this listener.

Method Details

testPlanExecutionStarted

public void testPlanExecutionStarted(TestPlan testPlan)

Description copied from interface: TestExecutionListener

Called when the execution of the TestPlan has started, before any test has been executed.

Called from the same thread as TestExecutionListener.testPlanExecutionFinished(TestPlan).

Specified by:

testPlanExecutionStarted in interface TestExecutionListener

Parameters:

testPlan - describes the tree of tests about to be executed

executionSkipped

public void executionSkipped(TestIdentifier testIdentifier,
 String reason)

Description copied from interface: TestExecutionListener

Called when the execution of a leaf or subtree of the TestPlan has been skipped.

The TestIdentifier may represent a test or a container. In the case of a container, no listener methods will be called for any of its descendants.

A skipped test or subtree of tests will never be reported as started or finished.

Specified by:

executionSkipped in interface TestExecutionListener

Parameters:

testIdentifier - the identifier of the skipped test or container

reason - a human-readable message describing why the execution has been skipped

executionFinished

public void executionFinished(TestIdentifier testIdentifier,
 TestExecutionResult testExecutionResult)

Description copied from interface: TestExecutionListener

Called when the execution of a leaf or subtree of the TestPlan has finished, regardless of the outcome.

The TestIdentifier may represent a test or a container.

This method will only be called if the test or container has not been skipped.

This method will be called for a container TestIdentifier after all of its children have been skipped or have finished.

The TestExecutionResult describes the result of the execution for the supplied TestIdentifier. The result does not include or aggregate the results of its children. For example, a container with a failing test will be reported as SUCCESSFUL even if one or more of its children are reported as FAILED.

Specified by:

executionFinished in interface TestExecutionListener

Parameters:

testIdentifier - the identifier of the finished test or container

testExecutionResult - the (unaggregated) result of the execution for the supplied TestIdentifier

See Also:

• TestExecutionResult

testPlanExecutionFinished

public void testPlanExecutionFinished(TestPlan testPlan)

Description copied from interface: TestExecutionListener

Called when the execution of the TestPlan has finished, after all tests have been executed.

Called from the same thread as TestExecutionListener.testPlanExecutionStarted(TestPlan).

Specified by:

testPlanExecutionFinished in interface TestExecutionListener

Parameters:

testPlan - describes the tree of tests that have been executed
