pass arguments to junit from command prompt through ant - junit

I am executing a Junit test case that takes user inputs.
Junit is executed through ANT, but the script abruptly exits stating
java.lang.NumberFormatException: null
is it possible to pass dynamic input this way?

You could probably use Java System Properties for this. But I think that your unit test should not be dependent of any user input. It should executes all the time the same to ensure your code is working.

GitHub Actions -- mark intentionally failed runs as success

Say I have CI tests running via GitHub actions. The program I test has a module that checks whether its input parameters are valid. Hence, I run a test where I intentionally provide improper input parameters, so the program catches this and exits with an error (exit 1).
Problem: I want GitHub Actions to mark this test as success. I am aware of continue-on-error: true for a run. Still, this will mark any failed run as success, no matter whether my program exits intentionally with an error due to improper input parameters (as described above), or because there is a bug in my code which then should actually return a failed CI test. So far I am manually inspecting the Actions logs but there must be an automated way to catch this.
Any ideas?

JUnit Eclipse View

I am running Junit tests using Eclipse Luna. I have implemented #Test method. I loop within the #Test method for multiple records and use Assert.assertEquals for Non-XML messages and XMLAssert.assertXMLEqual for XML messages.
The problem is, when I run the Junit with single or multiple test cases, I do not get the proper result in the Junit View. It always shows "Runs: 1/1" and does not show the correct count of runs. Even the failures and success are not shown correctly. Am I missing something here?
If you only have a single #Test method, there is only one thing running, so the Runs: 1/1 is correct. If you want to have more show up, make each assertion in its own test.

Modify surefire custom reporting console logging

At our organization we are following this DSL model Domain specific language and stuff where users can write tests from a spreadsheet and the underlying java code understands and executes those instructions.
Now here is the problem.
We have a single test method in our class which uses a data provider, reads all the test methods from the file and executes the instructions.
Naturally, when surefire executes and prints results it says:
Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
Is there a way to manipulate this in TestNG such that each custom test metod from excel can be picked up by the system as a legitimate test method when the overall suite executes.
I actually made the group migrate from Junit to TestNG and they are questioning if the DataProvider feature can handle that and i have no response for it :(
So essentially we want to break bindings between java methods by using external data providers but at the same time preserve the number of test methods executed as provided in an excel spreadsheet.
If you can give me any direction it would be most helpful to me.
Attaching my spreadsheet here.
My java file has only 1 test method:
#test
RunSuite(){
// Read each test method from file, i want the build server to recognize them someway as a individual test methods
}

jenkins not failling when junit beforeclass setup method failing

when #beforeclass executes assertion failure , it is not causing test result to fail in jenkins. how can I change this to failure.
You need to add a post build step to check the junit test results. We use "Publish JUnit test result report" and add the location where the results output (xml files) are stored.

Observable Command and Unit tests with Rx RTM

I have ported my code to the RTM version of both WinRT and Rx. I use ReactiveUI in my ViewModels. Before porting the code my unit tests were running without problem but now I got a strange behavior.
Here the test:
var sut = new MyViewModel();
myViewModel.MyCommand.Execute(null) //ReactiveAsyncCommand
Assert.AreEqaul(0, sut.Collection.Count)
If I debug the test step by step, the assertion is not failing, but using the test runner it's failing...
The Collection asserted is modified by a method subscribing to the command:
MyCommand.RegisterAsyncTask(_ => DoWork())
.ObserveOn(SynchronizationContext.Current)
.Subscribe(MethodModifyingCollection);
The code was working before moving it to the RTM. I tried also to remove the ObserveOn and add an await Task.Delay() before the Assert without success.
Steven's got the rightish answer, but there are a few RxUI specific things missing. This is definitely related to scheduling in a test runner, but the reason is that the WinRT version of ReactiveUI can't detect properly whether it's in a test runner at the moment.
The dumb workaround for now is to set this at the top of all your tests:
RxApp.DeferredScheduler = Scheduler.CurrentThread;
Do not use the TestScheduler for every test, it's overkill and actually isn't compatible with certain kinds of testing. TestScheduler is good for tests where you're simulating time passing.
Your problem is that MSTest unit tests have a default SynchronizationContext. So ObserveOn and ReactiveAsyncCommand will marshal to the thread pool instead of to the WPF context. This causes a race condition.
Your first and best option is the Rx TestScheduler.
Another option is to await some completion signal (and ensure your test method is async Task, not async void).
Otherwise, if you just need a SynchronizationContext, you can use AsyncContext from my AsyncEx library to execute the tests within your own SynchronizationContext.
Finally, if you have any code that directly uses Dispatcher instead of SynchronizationContext, you can use WpfContext from the Async CTP download.
