Prior to this commit, there was no declarative mechanism for a custom
TestExecutionListener to be registered as a default
TestExecutionListener.
This commit introduces support for discovering default
TestExecutionListener implementations via the SpringFactoriesLoader
mechanism. Specifically, the spring-test module declares all core
default TestExecutionListeners under the
org.springframework.test.context.TestExecutionListener key in its
META-INF/spring.factories properties file, and third-party frameworks
and developers can contribute to the list of default
TestExecutionListeners in the same manner.
- AbstractTestContextBootstrapper uses the SpringFactoriesLoader to
look up the class names of all registered default
TestExecutionListeners and sorts the instantiated listeners using
AnnotationAwareOrderComparator.
- DefaultTestContextBootstrapper and WebTestContextBootstrapper now
rely on the SpringFactoriesLoader mechanism for finding default
TestExecutionListeners instead of hard coding fully qualified class
names.
- To ensure that default TestExecutionListeners are registered in the
correct order, each can implement Ordered or declare @Order.
- AbstractTestExecutionListener and all default TestExecutionListeners
provided by Spring now implement Ordered with appropriate values.
- Introduced "copy constructors" in MergedContextConfiguration and
WebMergedContextConfiguration
- SpringFactoriesLoader now uses AnnotationAwareOrderComparator
instead of OrderComparator.
