Example code for reproducing IAnnotationTransformer2 bug, Issue #787
The bug exists in v6.8.21 (jdk1.6) and v6.9.6 (jdk1.7)
To reproduce the bug, just run mvn test
The bug manifests as follows:
When a custom annotation is applied to @Test methods, and the default annotation values are transformed by an implementation of IAnnotationTransfermer2, the first method appearing in the test class will lose the transformed annotation and revert to the default annotation values. Test configuration ordering does not appear to have an impact. Only the actual order of methods in the class.
In BasicTest if you run as is you will see the following test output containing the default annotations for aTest:
aTest: default_aTestS1
aTest: default_aTestS2
bTest: xform_bTestS1
bTest: xform_bTestS2
bTest: xform_bTestS3
bTest: xform_bTestS4
If you un-comment the first method preTest you will instead see the transformed annotations for aTest
aTest: xform_aTestS1
aTest: xform_aTestS2
aTest: xform_aTestS3
aTest: xform_aTestS4
bTest: xform_bTestS1
bTest: xform_bTestS2
bTest: xform_bTestS3
bTest: xform_bTestS4
The first test in the class always reverts to the default annotation, subsequent methods do not revert, and as expected, execute with the transformed annotation values.
The pom contains commented elements to switch between 6.8.21 using java1.6, and 6.9.6 using java1.7.
