Annotation Type DefaultLocale

@Target({METHOD,TYPE}) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Inherited @ExtendWith(org.junitpioneer.jupiter.DefaultLocaleExtension.class) public @interface DefaultLocale
@DefaultLocale is a JUnit Jupiter extension to change the value returned by Locale.getDefault() for a test execution.

The Locale to set as the default locale can be configured in several ways:

If a language tag is set, none of the other fields must be set. Otherwise an ExtensionConfigurationException will be thrown. Specifying a country() but no language(), or a variant() but no country() and language() will also cause an ExtensionConfigurationException. After the annotated element has been executed, the default Locale will be restored to its original value.

@DefaultLocale can be used on the method and on the class level. It is inherited from higher-level containers, but can only be used once per method or class. If a class is annotated, the configured Locale will be the default Locale for all tests inside that class. Any method level configurations will override the class level default Locale.

During parallel test execution, all tests annotated with DefaultLocale, ReadsDefaultLocale, and WritesDefaultLocale are scheduled in a way that guarantees correctness under mutation of shared global state.

For more details and examples, see the documentation on @DefaultLocale and @DefaultTimeZone.
