@After
annotated or tearDown()
method won't be called.
This can leave the test environment partially initialized, which can adversely affect other tests.
Instead, initialization of test cases should be done in a setUp()
or @Before
annotated method.
Bad example:
public class ImportantTest {
private File file;
public ImportantTest() throws IOException {
file = File.createTempFile("xyz", ".tmp");
}
// ... tests go here
}
