Good news Everyone!™ The number one testing framework in the Java ecosystem has moved a major step forward: JUnit 5 final is available since yesterday and brings lots of major improvements for the way you implement your test cases!

And of course, TestEE.fi offers JUnit 5 integration since day one! And of course, it’s just as easy to functional test your Java-EE applications with TestEE.fi as it was with JUnit 4.

Dependency management

Just make sure you’re using the testeefi-junit5-all dependency instead of the JUnit 4 version in your Maven dependencies:

<dependencies>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>fi.testee</groupId>
		<artifactId>testeefi-junit5-all</artifactId>
		<version>0.6.1</version>
		<scope>test</scope>
	</dependency>
	
	<!-- TestEE.fi uses slf4j, so add logback as logging implementation -->
	<dependency>
		<groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
		<artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
		<version>1.1.7</version>
		<scope>test</scope>
	</dependency>
</dependencies>

In Gradle your dependencies would look like this:

dependencies {
	testCompile 'fi.testee:testeefi-junit5-all:0.6.1'
	testCompile 'ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.1.7'
}

Writing a TestEE.fi extended test with JUnit 5

The JUnit 4 integration leveraged the concept of Runners where you could specify a custom Runner implementation using the @RunWith annotation. JUnit 5 abandons the concept of Runners and instead offers the option to add multiple Extensions to your test class using the @ExtendWith annotation.

So, remembering the minimal introductory example from Part 1, we can accomplish the same now by simply using the TestEE.fi extension:

@ExtendWith(TestEEfi.class)
public class MyTest {
	@Mock
	private ExternalSystemBean externalSystem;
	@Inject
	private FacadeBean facadeToTest;
	
	@Test
	public void runTest() {
		// Your test code
	}
}

Conclusion

Using TestEE.fi with JUnit 5 is just as easy as it was with JUnit 4. Whether you are migrating an existing project to the new JUnit version (which does not come for free!) or setup a new Jave-EE project using the latest iteration of Java’s most famous test execution framework, TestEE.fi is ready it.
