build a skip or disable feature for individual tests

[loran-steinberger]

Motivation

As a user of blockhound, I would like to implement a test which I know will break and commit to my repo.
To prevent this test from breaking my build pipeline, a skip feature would prevent it from being run.

Desired solution

a utility function or annotation that marks tests as skipped by test runner

Hi @loran-steinberger ,

regarding this old issue ...
why not using a BlockHound integration plugin that would allow your test to block without breaking the test ?

Something like this:

package com.example;

public class MyTest {
    static {
        BlockHound.install(b -> {
            b.allowBlockingCallsInside("com.example.MyTest", "block");
        });
    }

    void block() throws InterruptedException {
        Thread.sleep(100);
    }

    @Test
    void testBlockHound2() throws ExecutionException, InterruptedException, TimeoutException {
        Mono.delay(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
                .doOnNext(it -> {
                    try {
                        block(); // this method can block, because we have allowed it to do so
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                })
                .block();
    }
}

@loran-steinberger ,

I'm closing this one, because as said previously, BlockHound integration plugins can be used in order to avoid a blocking test to fail.
Of course, feel free to reopen if needed !
thanks.
