Method Detail

shuffledBy

public static Ordering shuffledBy(Random random)

Creates an Ordering that shuffles the items using the given Random instance.

definedBy

public static Ordering definedBy(Class<? extends Ordering.Factory> factoryClass,
                                 Description annotatedTestClass)
                          throws InvalidOrderingException

Creates an Ordering from the given factory class. The class must have a public no-arg constructor.

Parameters:

factoryClass - class to use to create the ordering

annotatedTestClass - test class that is annotated with OrderWith.

Throws:

InvalidOrderingException - if the instance could not be created

definedBy

public static Ordering definedBy(Ordering.Factory factory,
                                 Description annotatedTestClass)
                          throws InvalidOrderingException

Creates an Ordering from the given factory.

Parameters:

factory - factory to use to create the ordering

annotatedTestClass - test class that is annotated with OrderWith.

Throws:

InvalidOrderingException - if the instance could not be created

apply

public void apply(Object target)
           throws InvalidOrderingException

Order the tests in target using this ordering.

Throws:

InvalidOrderingException - if ordering does something invalid (like remove or add children)

orderItems

protected abstract List<Description> orderItems(Collection<Description> descriptions)

Implemented by sub-classes to order the descriptions.

Returns:

descriptions in order
