Description Thom Hehl

Build Identifier: 

I sometimes have a junit test that fails every once in a while. I need to be able to run it multiple times to re-create the issue, then again when I'm done to make sure it is working properly.

I would like to have a feature added so that I can run a junit test some number of times, like 50.

Reproducible: Always

I think JUnit Theories/Assumptions, introduced with JUnit 4.4  might be something that helps you solve your problem within the framework itself (See http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/ReleaseNotes4.4.html).

I think this would be a much cleaner solution here.

What do you think?

No, because, in my circumstance, the test should NEVER fail. The failure indicates some criteria that I don't have nailed down and need to fix, but I can't recreate consistently.

Then, once I've fixed it, it's hard to be certain it is fixed.
