Description Marian Petras 2006-06-28 16:03:23 UTC

Several users have asked about how to change the templates from which the test
method skeletons are generated. The current implementation does not allow it -
the test method skeleton is generated programatically. To change it, the users
would have to modify the module source code.

Change it - allow the users to customize the generated test method skeletons.

Comment 1 Marian Petras 2006-06-28 16:06:10 UTC

To people interested in this feature:

   Please describe/specify the skeletons you want to be generated.
   The more examples you provide, the better support for customizations of code
   can be developed. I do not have any idea of how you want the skeletons
   to be generated - the more ideas you provide, the more capable/general
   support for this feature can be developed.

Comment 2 Alexei Mokeev 2010-05-05 07:45:51 UTC

No input since 2006, seems nobody interested in it.

Whoops! Wrong bug... Was cleaning up some old bugs and closed this one by mistake. It is still valid. - jacob

Comment 7 ngewecke 2013-09-02 22:57:43 UTC

As you were asking for descriptions and I just came upon this here is what I would want

The Templates allow for the commenting of the Before and After methods but do not allow for a custom comment on the "generated" unit tests. I would like the ability to modify the default output of the comments for a generated test from:

/**
 * Test of getFooMethod, of class Foo
 */

Template:

/**
 * Test of ${method}, of class ${name}
 */

to something like:

/**
 * Test of {@link Foo#getFooMethod(package.Foo)}
 */

Template:

/**
 * Test of {@link ${name}#${method}(${package})}
 */
  

The test method name could be an option for revision too although that could be significantly harder to implement.
