Run Current Junit Test in GWTTestCase - gwt

Question

I have a JUnit test that I run on one class, but I recently wrote an emulated version for GWT. Since the specification is the same, I would like to use the same test case, but I want it to run in the GWT environment, which would typically be accomplished by extending GWTTestCase.
I really want to avoid any copy/paste nonsense, because there are likely to be added tests in the future, which I should not be burdened with copying later.
How can I import/inherit my standard unit test to be run as either a regular test case or a GWT test case?

Answer 1

I have found the solution to this problem.
If you extend the original test with GWTTestCase, you can override getModuleName to return null. This tells GWTTestCase to run as a normal pure java test (no translation at all).
You can then extend this test case with one that overrides getModuleName to return a module name, and the same tests will be run with translation.
Basically:
public class RegularTest extends GWTTestCase {
#Override
public String getModuleName() { return null; }
public void testIt() {...}
}
...and the GWT version...
public class GwtTest extends RegularTest {
#Override
public String getModuleName() { return "some.module"; }
}
The downside to this is that it forces you to use JUnit3 style tests, which I find a little annoying, but it beats the alternative.

I think there is no easy way .. But you can extract an interface of your junit test, gwt test case and junit test case implements this interface. You can create a third class for implementation, all test call methods of gwt test case and junit test are delegated to this implementation class.
public interface IRegularTest {
public void testSomething();
public void testSomething2();
}
public class RegularTestImpl implements IRegularTest {
public void testSomething(){
// actual test code
}
public void testSomething2(){
// actual test code
}
}
public class RegularTest extends TestCase implements IRegularTest {
IRegularTest impl = new RegularTestImpl();
public void testSomething(){
impl.testSomething
}
public void testSomething2(){
}
}
public class GwtTest extends TestCase implements IRegularTest {
IRegularTest impl = new RegularTestImpl();
public void testSomething(){
impl.testSomething
}
public void testSomething2(){
}
}
