java - Can I avoid running junit tests twice in eclipse when using a TestSuite?

Question

I need to do some per-suite initialisation (starting a web-server). It is working fine except that when I run all tests in my project in eclipse my tests run twice. My test suite looks a bit like this:

@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({
   SubtestOne.class,
   SubtestTwo.class
})
public class TestSuite
{
   [...]
}

public class SubtestOne
{
   @Test public void testOne() { [...] }
}

public class SubtestTwo
{
   @Test public void testTwo() { [...] }
}

When I run all test in project in eclipse this causes the junit plugin to run the tests twice like this:

• SubtestOne
• SubtestTwo
• TestSuite
  • SubtestOne
  • SubtestTwo

Is it possible to make "run all test in project" not run the sub-tests twice? I want my sub tests to be only ever run as part of the suite.

Answer 1

No, the test class will always be started directly and then through the "link" in the suite. This is as expected.

One workaround might to set in the run configuration to only run tests from the package which contains your suites. Open the run configuration and select Run all tests in the selected project, package or source folder then click Search... and select the package.
