This is a project I wrote for myself to facilitate migrating a good number of tests to JUnit 5 syntax. Feel free to use it/enhance it/etc if you find it useful.

Pre-reqs

Before starting out, the program assumes you have:

• Updated your Maven POM/Groovy build file/whatever to reference the new JUnit 5 jars
• Migrated off JUnit 3.8. This program assumes you are on JUnit 4. JUnit 3.8 code will continue to work in JUnit 5. (as will JUnit 4 code.) But the goal of this program is to migrate JUnit 4 syntax to JUnit 5 syntax.

Running the program

Pass the absolute path of the directory containing your tests (ex /my/dir/src/test/java) when running class jb.Updater. The program outputs the name of each file as it goes through them. It runs quickly. Under a few seconds for two thousand files.

Side effects

This program updates every class and reformats your code. This is a side effect of using Java Parser. If you have a standard coding format, you can always reapply it after running. Regardless, make sure to commit your code before running the program so this commit only has the refactoring to JUnit 5.

Other notes

• The program can be run multiple times. That way you can rollback the classes that require manual intervention and commit the others. Then later when you re-run, it will only update the remaining classes.
