Can I control JUnit timeout?

Question

Suppose I have a JUnit unit test, which has two parts, and I don’t want to separate them into separate @Test methods. Suppose also that I want a timeout parameter for a test.

How can I change / intercept / control a timeout approval error message to indicate which part of the test has been crossed out?

Here's an attempt that doesn't work:

 @Test(timeout = 1000) public void test() { try { // part one of the test } catch (Throwable e) { Assert.fail("Part one failed"); } try { // part two of the test } catch (Throwable e) { Assert.fail("Part two failed"); } } 

Answer 1

Just by reading the documentation, no. A timeout automatically fails the test. This does not throw an exception - it makes a test runner. You might be able to write your own test runner, but you will still have trouble figuring out where he failed. I would suggest structuring your test in different ways. Perhaps you have your own timer that just failed the test.

The JUnit timeout function is pretty limited, as you know. For synchronization tests that require a bit more features, I used awaitility . You can use "named wait" to configure the message:

 with().pollInterval(ONE_HUNDERED_MILLISECONDS) .and().with().pollDelay(20, MILLISECONDS) .await("customer registration").until( costumerStatus(), equalTo(REGISTERED) );
