Eclipse Junit plug-in

[Simon Good]

When I try to run a TestCase from within Eclipse it runs the setup() method for every test method within that TestCase. I'm sure this isn't the right behaviour, the setup method is causing a failure but only because it's being executed more than once.

Any ideas why this is? Presumably it's a config issue in Eclipse.

Nope. That's how JUnit is supposed to work. Every test method will have setup() called before it is run and tearDown() called after it completes.

Check out the classes TestSuite and TestSetup. A test suite will invoke the method oneTimeSetup() before the first test and the method oneTimeTearDown() after the last test. The methods Setup() and TearDown() will run before and after every test.

Simon,
Moving to testing since this is junit and not eclipse specifically.
