  • Method Details

    • name

      String name()
      A human-friendly name of the test framework that this object represents.

    • fingerprints

      Fingerprint[] fingerprints()
      An array of Fingerprints that specify how to identify test classes during discovery.

    • runner

      Runner runner(String[] args, String[] remoteArgs, ClassLoader testClassLoader)
      Initiates a run.

      If a client invokes this method before a previously initiated run has completed, the test framework may throw IllegalStateExceptionto indicate it cannot perform the two runs concurrently.

      Parameters:
      args - the test-framework-specific arguments for the new run
      remoteArgs - the test-framework-specific remote arguments for the run in a forked JVM
      testClassLoader - a class loader to use when loading test classes during the run
      Returns:
      a Runner representing the newly started run.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if the test framework is unable to initiate a run because it is already performing a previously initiated run that has not yet completed.
