SetUp/TearDown methods in sahi tests using junit framework

Question

Is it possible to place the setup/teardown methods using JUnit framework in a single class (which would be my baseclass) so on test runs they methods are always called first/last? it would be in a similar way to which nunit tests can be structured

currently the only way I can get my tests to kick off is if I have the setup/teardown methods within the same class as my tests are (which is something I wan't to avoid, to keep my test classes tidy)

example I would hope to set up;

public class baseclass
{
    @Before
    public void setUp
    {}

    @After
    public void tearDown
    {}
}

public class tests
{
    @Test
    public void test1
    {
        // test content here
    }
}

Answer 1

Run this test and see the sequence of events

class Test1 {
    @Before
    public void setUp1() {
        System.out.println("setUp1");
    }
}

public class Test2 extends Test1 {
    @Before
    public void setUp2() {
        System.out.println("setUp2");
    }

    @Test
    public void test() {
        System.out.println("test");
    }

}

Answer 2

Yes, as long as your test class extend your baseclass.
For instance:

• Suite

  @RunWith(Suite.class)
  @SuiteClasses(Tests.class)
  public class AllTests {
  
  }
  

• BaseClass

  public class BaseClass {
  
      @BeforeClass 
      public static void beforeAll() { 
      }
  
      @Before
      public void setUp() { 
      }
  
      @After
      public void tearDown {
      }
  
      @AfterClass 
      public static void afterAll() { 
      }
  }
  

• Tests

  public class Test extends BaseClass {
  
      @Test
      public void test1() {
      }
  
      @Test
      public void test2() {
      }
  
  }
