Fail on no tests found? about specnaz HOT 3 CLOSED

👍 I also run into this issue -- I copy pasted my test code in the describes while experimenting with the library, but then was seeing that no tests run on the output, which was a bit confusing.

I've done some research on this topic, and what I found is that the behavior is different between JUnit and TestNG.

The following code:

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.junit.runners.JUnit4;

@RunWith(JUnit4.class)
public class ExampleTest {
}

fails a build with a "no runnable methods" error - the BlockJUnit4ClassRunner validates whether a class has any test methods (see code here).

However, this code:

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

@Test
public class ExampleTest {
}

works completely fine in TestNG, and does not cause the build to fail.

I think the Specnaz integrations should behave similarly to the framework their integrating with - so, my instinct is to fail the build in the JUnit Runner if no tests were found, but ignore it in the TestNG Factory.

Thoughts on this approach?
