Continuing test execution in junit4 even when one of the asserts fails

I have my existing framework built up using Jfunc which provides a facility to continue exection even when one of the asserts in the test case fails. Jfunc uses junit 3.x framework. But now we are migrating to junit4 so I can't use Jfunc anymore and have replaced it with junit 4.10 jar.
Now the problem is since we have extensively used jfunc in our framework, and with junit 4 we want to make our code continue the execution even when one of the asserts fails in a test case.
Does anyone has any suggestion/idea for this, i know in junit the tests needs to be more atomic i.e. one assert per test case but we can't do that in our framework for some reason.


Solution 1:

You can do this using an ErrorCollector rule.

To use it, first add the rule as a field in your test class:

public class MyTest {
    @Rule
    public ErrorCollector collector = new ErrorCollector();

    //...tests...
}

Then replace your asserts with calls to collector.checkThat(...).

e.g.

@Test
public void myTest() {
    collector.checkThat("a", equalTo("b"));
    collector.checkThat(1, equalTo(2));
}

Solution 2:

I use the ErrorCollector too but also use assertThat and place them in a try catch block.

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.*;

@Rule
public ErrorCollector collector = new ErrorCollector();

@Test
public void calculatedValueShouldEqualExpected() {
    try {
        assertThat(calculatedValue(), is(expected));
    } catch (Throwable t) {
        collector.addError(t);
        // do something
    }
}
