junit:forkMode=“once"的影响；关于测试正确性 [英] junit: impact of forkMode="once" on test correctness
问题描述
我想减少构建(使用 ant)运行测试所花费的时间.目前我正在使用默认的 forkMode，它 fork 一个新的每个测试类上的 vm (perTest).
I'd like to reduce the time which our build (using ant) takes for running the tests.
Currently I am using the default forkMode, which forks a new vm on each test class (perTest).
我正在考虑切换到 forkMode="once" 但我不确定这是否会以某种方式结合测试，并且可能会给我误报和/或误报运行我的测试后出现阴性结果.
I am thinking about to switch to forkMode="once" but I am unsure if this will couple the tests somehow and maybe give me false positive and/or false negatives results after running my tests.
问题:
每个测试用例是否会获得一个新的 ClassLoader，从而使之前运行的所有静态引用都不再可访问/可见?
Will each test case get a new ClassLoader so that all static references from previous runs are not accessible/visible anymore?
是否有其他因素导致测试依赖/测试方法的耦合可能会改变行为(除了我不使用的本机库加载)
Are there other things which lead to test dependency/coupling of test methods which may change the behavior (beside native library loading which I am not using)
更新
根据当前的答案，当使用 forkMode 时，junit 似乎总是在每个 vm/fork 的所有测试用例之间共享一个类加载器.(所以 forkMode="once" 确实意味着所有测试都有一个类加载器)
According to the current answers it seems that junit is always sharing a single classloader between all test cases per vm/fork when using forkMode. (so forkMode="once" indeed means there's one classloader for all tests)
这有很多优点(更快的测试，并且可能由于静态耦合而导致测试失败)但也有一些缺点(静态耦合只有在使用共享类加载器时才有效 -> 误报)
This has many advantages (faster tests and may cause tests to fail because of static coupling) but also some disadvantages (static coupling which will only work if a shared classloader is used -> false positive)
推荐答案
- 测试运行程序将有效地为您的所有测试创建一个套件并运行它们 - 因此只涉及一个类加载器.
- 是的，这意味着静态数据将在测试之间共享，这有时会很方便，但会迫使您减少子句之间的静态耦合，这是一件好事.
- 通常没有任何显式 GC，但您可以自己做.
通常在一个 VM 中运行所有测试是一件好事.它迫使您查看静态耦合并且速度更快.至关重要的是，这也是您的 IDE 运行它们的方式，而这确实是运行测试的方式 - 尽可能接近编译时的频率.
Generally running all your tests in one VM is a good thing. It forces you to look at static coupling and is a lot quicker. Crucially, it's also the way that your IDE will be running them, and that really is the way that tests should be run - as close as possible to as often as you compile.
