Multiple runwith for a junit test class

Question

Does any one know how to tackle this.

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@RunWith(Parametrized.class)

@ContextConfiguration("/META-INF/blah-spring-test.xml")
public class BlahTest
..

so i want to have a spring nature test and at the same time want to have it parameterized to avoid code duplication ...

I would suggest this is not exactly a duplicate as the runners are different. — John B, Dec 01 '14 at 20:53

You can't use two runners as it noted in the commented post. You should use the Parameterized runner as use Spring's TestContextManager to load the Spring context.

@Before 
public void before() throws Exception {
  new TestContextManager(getClass()).prepareTestInstance(this);
}

As of Spring Framework 4.2, JUnit-based integration tests can now be executed with JUnit rules instead of the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. This allows Spring-based integration tests to be run with alternative runners like JUnit’s Parameterized or third-party runners such as the MockitoJUnitRunner. See more details on spring doc.

Building upon John B's answer using TestContextManager, one can also call beforeTestMethod() and afterTestMethod() on it to better simulate SpringJUnit4ClassRunner's behaviour (for instance loading database with @Sql).

These methods require a Method parameter, so one can for instance take advantage of JUnit4's TestName rule to get the current test method's name and then retrieving it by reflection.

private static TestContextManager springTestContext
  = new TestContextManager(BlahTest.class);

@Rule
public TestName testName = new TestName();

@Before
public void before() throws Exception {
  springTestContext.prepareTestInstance(this);
  springTestContext.beforeTestMethod(this,
    getClass().getMethod(testName.getMethodName()));
}

@After
public void after() throws Exception {
  springTestContext.afterTestMethod(this,
    getClass().getMethod(testName.getMethodName()), null);
}
