Does JUnit 5 support test method execution in alphabetical order or any similar functionality?

Question

JUnit 4 has @FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING) to support test execution in alphabetical order.

Is there any similar functionality introduced in latest JUnit 5 or any other way to achieve this?

I went through some of the similar issue but could not find any solution. So posting this question again to check for a solution.

Thanks

Answer 1

I know I'm late but JUnit5 is capable of that.

import org.junit.jupiter.api.MethodOrderer;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.TestMethodOrder;
        
@TestMethodOrder(MethodOrderer.MethodName.class)
public class TestClass{
   //..
}

This Annotation is sorting by the actual method name, not the Displayname.

Answer 2

Finally, this is now possible.
@TestMethodOrder is avaliable at snapshot version. (5.4)

@TestMethodOrder(OrderAnnotation.class)
class OrderedTestsDemo {

    @Test
    @Order(1)
    void nullValues() {
        // perform assertions against null values
    }

    @Test
    @Order(2)
    void emptyValues() {
        // perform assertions against empty values
    }

    @Test
    @Order(3)
    void validValues() {
        // perform assertions against valid values
    }

}

Answer 3

JUnit issue is still open https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/issues/13 So, right now there is no such possibility.

Answer 4

Unfortunately at the moment there is currently no mechanism in JUnit5 for ordering the execution of tests.
