IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 build 114.98

Monday, February 13th, 2012

This time, we also have a reason for releasing a new EAP build so soon after the previous one. And no, it’s not that we screwed something up. And what it is? You’ll find out tomorrow!

For now, feel free to grab the new build and check out the release notes.

Testing Tip: Run Test Method from Abstract Test Class

Monday, February 13th, 2012

Sometimes you have an abstract test class with test methods where the inheritors set up different environment. As it is impossible to run an abstract class you had to enumerate inheritors manually, choose corresponding methods and run these methods one by one.

Now (since IntelliJ IDEA 11.1) it is possible to run tests right from the abstract base class and simply choose inheritors from the popup.

This works for JUnit and for TestNG tests.
