xtend-junit

This project shows how Xtend's Active Annotations can be used to enhance tooling for a specific framework. It solves most of the things that I did not like about Junit 4. Most of these issues will be fixed in the new Junit Lambda project, so I won't put much more work into this one.

See the examples or read on for more details.

@Junit

This annotation automates common JUnit patterns. It also adds compile-time validation and convenience methods for more readable tests.

• a method is automatically annotated with @Test if it is
  • public
  • non-static
  • not annotated with @Theory or @DataPoint
• Test methods are automatically void
• a compile error is raised if a test method declares parameters
• org.junit.Assert.* is statically imported
• you can use x => 3 instead of assertEquals(3, x)
• expected exceptions can be declared using a lambda expression like IllegalArgumentException.isThrownBy[Integer.parseInt("Foo")]
• fields annotated with @Rule are automatically public
• a compile error is raised if a @Rule has any other visibility or is declared static
• fields/methods annotated with @DataPoint are automatically public und static
• if a test is annotated with @Theory, the test class will get the @RunWith(Theories) annotation
• if there are @Theory(s), org.junit.Assume.* is statically imported
• @Theory parameters are flagged with an error if there are not matching @DataPoints

@Hamcrest

• you can use "Foo" => startsWith("F")instead of assertThat("Foo", startsWith("F"))
• org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers or org.hamcrest.Matchers is statically imported, depending on which is on the classpath
• an ErrorCollector is added as an extension field, so you can softly assert using checkThat(expected, Matcher))

@AutoSuite

Collects all tests in a package (and optionally all subpackages) and creates a Suite from them. Especially useful if you want to group your tests using Categories instead of writing @SuiteClasses manually. This is basically like using ClassPathSuite, but statically generated, so you will have quick test startup times.
