= Repeated Tests

JUnit Jupiter provides the ability to repeat a test a specified number of times by
annotating a method with `@RepeatedTest` and specifying the total number of repetitions
desired. Each invocation of a repeated test behaves like the execution of a regular
`@Test` method with full support for the same lifecycle callbacks and extensions.

The following example demonstrates how to declare a test named `repeatedTest()` that
will be automatically repeated 10 times.

[source,java]
----
@RepeatedTest(10)
void repeatedTest() {
	// ...
}
----

Since JUnit Jupiter 5.10, `@RepeatedTest` can be configured with a failure threshold which
signifies the number of failures after which remaining repetitions will be automatically
skipped. Set the `failureThreshold` attribute to a positive number less than the total
number of repetitions in order to skip the invocations of remaining repetitions after the
specified number of failures has been encountered.

For example, if you are using `@RepeatedTest` to repeatedly invoke a test that you suspect
to be _flaky_, a single failure is sufficient to demonstrate that the test is flaky, and
there is no need to invoke the remaining repetitions. To support that specific use case,
set `failureThreshold = 1`. You can alternatively set the threshold to a number greater
than 1 depending on your use case.

By default, the `failureThreshold` attribute is set to `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, signaling that
no failure threshold will be applied, which effectively means that the specified number of
repetitions will be invoked regardless of whether any repetitions fail.

WARNING: If the repetitions of a `@RepeatedTest` method are executed in parallel, no
guarantees can be made regarding the failure threshold. It is therefore recommended that a
`@RepeatedTest` method be annotated with `@Execution(SAME_THREAD)` when parallel execution
is configured. See xref:writing-tests/parallel-execution.adoc[] for further details.

In addition to specifying the number of repetitions and failure threshold, a custom
display name can be configured for each repetition via the `name` attribute of the
`@RepeatedTest` annotation. Furthermore, the display name can be a pattern composed of a
combination of static text and dynamic placeholders. The following placeholders are
currently supported.

- `+{displayName}+`: display name of the `@RepeatedTest` method
- `+{currentRepetition}+`: the current repetition count
- `+{totalRepetitions}+`: the total number of repetitions

The default display name for a given repetition is generated based on the following
pattern: `"repetition +{currentRepetition}+ of +{totalRepetitions}+"`.Thus, the display
names for individual repetitions of the previous `repeatedTest()` example would be:
`repetition 1 of 10`, `repetition 2 of 10`, etc.If you would like the display name of
the `@RepeatedTest` method included in the name of each repetition, you can define your
own custom pattern or use the predefined `RepeatedTest.LONG_DISPLAY_NAME` pattern.The
latter is equal to `"+{displayName}+ :: repetition +{currentRepetition}+ of
+{totalRepetitions}+"` which results in display names for individual repetitions like
`repeatedTest() :: repetition 1 of 10`, `repeatedTest() :: repetition 2 of 10`, etc.

In order to retrieve information about the current repetition, the total number of
repetitions, the number of repetitions that have failed, and the failure threshold, a
developer can choose to have an instance of `{RepetitionInfo}` injected into a
`@RepeatedTest`, `@BeforeEach`, or `@AfterEach` method.

== Repeated Test Examples

The `RepeatedTestsDemo` class at the end of this section demonstrates several examples of
repeated tests.

The `repeatedTest()` method is identical to the example from the previous section; whereas,
`repeatedTestWithRepetitionInfo()` demonstrates how to have an instance of
`RepetitionInfo` injected into a test to access the total number of repetitions for the
current repeated test.

`repeatedTestWithFailureThreshold()` demonstrates how to set a failure threshold and
simulates an unexpected failure for every second repetition.The resulting behavior can be
viewed in the `ConsoleLauncher` output at the end of this section.

The next two methods demonstrate how to include a custom `@DisplayName` for the
`@RepeatedTest` method in the display name of each repetition. `customDisplayName()`
combines a custom display name with a custom pattern and then uses `TestInfo` to verify
the format of the generated display name. `Repeat!` is the `+{displayName}+` which comes
from the `@DisplayName` declaration, and `1/1` comes from
`+{currentRepetition}+/+{totalRepetitions}+`.In contrast,
`customDisplayNameWithLongPattern()` uses the aforementioned predefined
`RepeatedTest.LONG_DISPLAY_NAME` pattern.

`repeatedTestInGerman()` demonstrates the ability to translate display names of repeated
tests into foreign languages -- in this case German, resulting in names for individual
repetitions such as: `Wiederholung 1 von 5`, `Wiederholung 2 von 5`, etc.

Since the `beforeEach()` method is annotated with `@BeforeEach` it will get executed
before each repetition of each repeated test. By having the `TestInfo` and
`RepetitionInfo` injected into the method, we see that it's possible to obtain
information about the currently executing repeated test. Executing `RepeatedTestsDemo`
with the `INFO` log level enabled results in the following output.
