Pattern: JUnit - public property

Issue: -

Description

Checks for public properties defined on JUnit test classes. There is typically no need to expose a public property (with public getter and setter methods) on a test class.

This rule sets the default value of the applyToClassNames property to only match class names ending in 'Test', 'Tests' or 'TestCase'.

Property	Description	Default Value
ignorePropertyNames	Specifies one or more (comma-separated) property names that should be ignored (i.e., that should not cause a rule violation). The names may optionally contain wildcards (*,?).	null

Example of violations:

import org.junit.Test
class SomeTestCase {
    static String id    // violation
    def helper          // violation
    String name         // violation

    @Test
    void testMe() { }
}
