Get Name of Currently Executing Test in Junit 4

Get name of currently executing test in JUnit 4

JUnit 4.7 added this feature it seems using TestName-Rule. Looks like this will get you the method name:

import org.junit.Rule;

public class NameRuleTest {
    @Rule public TestName name = new TestName();

    @Test public void testA() {
        assertEquals("testA", name.getMethodName());
    }

    @Test public void testB() {
        assertEquals("testB", name.getMethodName());
    }
}

Get currently executing @Test method in @Before in JUnit 4

try TestName rule

public class TestCaseExample {
  @Rule
  public TestName testName = new TestName();

  @Before
  public void setUp() {
    Method m = TestCaseExample.class.getMethod(testName.getMethodName());       
    ...
  }
  ...

JUnit 4: how to get test name inside a Rule?

If you just need a @Rule with the test name, don't reinvet the wheel, just use the built-in TestName @Rule.

If you're trying to build your own rule that adds some logic to it, consider extending it. If that isn't an option either, you could just copy it's implementation.

To answer the question in the comment, like any other TestRule, ExternalResouce also has an apply(Statement, Description) method. You can add functionality to it by overriding it, just make sure you call the super method so you don't break the ExternalResource functionality:

public class MyRule extends ExternalResource {
    private String testName;

    @Override
    public Statement apply(Statement base, Description description) {
        // Store the test name
        testName = description.getMethodName();
        return super.apply(base, description);
    }

    public void before() {
        // Use it in the before method
        System.out.println("Test name is " + testName);
    }
}

How to obtain test case name in JUnit 4 at runtime?

OK. I've found another approach [somewhere on the Internet](http://www.nabble.com/What-happened-to-getName()--td23456371.html):

    @RunWith(Interceptors.class) 
    public class NameTest { 
            @Interceptor public TestName name = new TestName(); 

            @Test public void funnyName() { 
                    assertEquals("funnyName", name.getMethodName()); 
            } 
    } 

junit 4.10: how to get the name of the tests class while running tests

Just use

this.getClass().getName()

or

this.getClass().getSimpleName()

Depending if you want the full name with package or just the simple class name.
