Interface Arguments

All Known Implementing Classes:
Arguments.ArgumentSet
@API(status=STABLE, since="5.7") public interface Arguments
Arguments is an abstraction that provides access to an array of objects to be used for invoking a @ParameterizedTest method.

A Stream of such Arguments will typically be provided by an ArgumentsProvider.

Since:
5.0

API Note:

This interface is specifically designed as a simple holder of arguments of a parameterized test. Therefore, if you end up transforming or filtering the arguments, you should consider using one of the following in intermediate steps:

  • The standard collections
  • Tuples from third-party libraries, e.g., Commons Lang, or javatuples
  • Your own data class

Alternatively, you can use an ArgumentConverter to convert some of the arguments from one type to another.

    static Arguments
    of(Object... arguments)
    Factory method for creating an instance of Arguments based on the supplied arguments.

  • Method Details

    • get

      Object[] get()
      Get the arguments used for an invocation of the @ParameterizedTest method.
      Returns:
      the arguments; never null
      API Note:
      If you need a type-safe way to access some or all of the arguments, please read the class-level API note.

    • of

      static Arguments of(Object... arguments)
      Factory method for creating an instance of Arguments based on the supplied arguments.
      Parameters:
      arguments - the arguments to be used for an invocation of the test method; must not be null
      Returns:
      an instance of Arguments; never null

    • arguments

      static Arguments arguments(Object... arguments)
      Factory method for creating an instance of Arguments based on the supplied arguments.

      This method is an alias for of(java.lang.Object...) and is intended to be used when statically imported — for example, via: import static org.junit.jupiter.params.provider.Arguments.arguments;

      Parameters:
      arguments - the arguments to be used for an invocation of the test method; must not be null
      Returns:
      an instance of Arguments; never null

    • argumentSet

      @API(status=EXPERIMENTAL, since="5.11") static Arguments.ArgumentSet argumentSet(String name, Object... arguments)
      Factory method for creating an Arguments.ArgumentSet based on the supplied name and arguments.

      Favor this method over Arguments.of(...) and arguments(...) when you wish to assign a name to the entire set of arguments.

      This method is well suited to be used as a static import — for example, via: import static org.junit.jupiter.params.provider.Arguments.argumentSet;.

      Parameters:
      name - the name of the argument set; must not be null or blank
      arguments - the arguments to be used for an invocation of the test method; must not be null
      Returns:
      an ArgumentSet; never null
