Status Quo

Except for Spring's legacy JUnit 3.8 based testing framework which is still used internally within the spring-orm module, the Spring test suite was completely migrated to the JUnit 4 programming model in conjunction with #18091.

The reason the legacy testing framework is still based on JUnit 3.8 is that AbstractJpaTests uses a ShadowingClassLoader to load and execute the test in a different class loader.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve the same results without introducing a custom JUnit Runner.

Possible Solutions

  1. Introduce a custom Runner that reproduces the behavior in AbstractJpaTests.
  2. Migrate the concrete subclasses of AbstractJpaTests to JUnit 4 without the use of a ShadowingClassLoader.

Deliverables

  1. Remove AbstractJpaTests along with the remainder of the legacy JUnit 3.8 based testing framework in the spring-orm module.
  2. Revise all concrete subclasses of AbstractJpaTests accordingly.

Affects: 4.2 GA

Currently planned for 5.0 where we'll raise to a JPA 2.1 baseline and have to redo the JPA tests in any case, potentially even dropping the OpenJPA tests completely (due to OpenJPA's inactivity towards JPA 2.1).
