Eclipse: bind some key for all unit tests

Question

Hi! I'm practice TDD and run my tests very often. Eclipse has nice command to run last launched configuration. But when I in some unit test, Eclipse run only test for current unit test. I want run all my unit tests instead. Yes, i can use mouse to run command that run all junit test, but, repeat. I'm run tests very often.

Answer 1

Maybe Infinitest is what you need.

Answer 2

There is also Junit Max. It is not free but very cheap. It will run all your tests every time you save a file and indicate if the tests were successful in the right bottom corner of eclipse.

If a tests fails the line where it fails is marked as an error so you can keep working with the source files and don't have to wait for your tests and have your workflow interrupted.

Answer 3

To run all unit tests in a project, package or source root, select the item in the package explorer and hit Shift+Alt+X then T (or right click->Run As-> JUnit test).

To get the focus on the package explorer, hit Ctrl+F7 to bring up the "Next View" menu, hit it repeatedly to cycle through the list or hit up and down arrow then enter to select the view.

Once you've run it once, F11 can be set to run the last launched if you tweak the debug preferences (the default is to run for the current selection).

Answer 4

You need to change eclipse's run mode. By default, it will try to run whatever is selected or being edited. You want to it always run the "last thing executed".

Go to Window->Preferences->Run/Debug->Launching Choose "Always Launch the Previous Application"

Then you can define a TestSuite with all of your test cases and run it, or run all test cases for the project. Once run, you can just keep re-running with F11 or control-F11.
