Running Junit 3 style of coding with junit-4.8.1.jar is feasible?

monika_b — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:29:19 GMT

I need to integrate activiti in existing web application. My Project already has junit-4.8.1.jar included (with which I am not able to get 'JUnit 4 style of coding' working properly(using ActivitiRule etc)). Though I am able to run 'Junit 3 style of coding' (extending ActivitiTestCase) working good

Just to point from user guide that led me to this confusion:
http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#apiUnitTesting
"In the JUnit 3 style, the org.activiti.engine.test.ActivitiTestCase must be extended. "
"To get the same functionality when using the JUnit 4 style of writing unit tests, the org.activiti.engine.test.ActivitiRule Rule must be used."

And I am trying to use Junit 3 style with junit-4.8.1.jar to avoid more testing work if i upgrade existing application to junit-4.11.jar.

Yes, that works without problems.

As a matter of fact, all Activiti internal tests are still Junit 3 style. There is no impact whatsoever on using 3 or 4 style.

Thanks Jbarrez.
I would be using Junit 3 style of junit coding itself.
