Closes #88.

Straightforward migration - all tests (except gestalt-android-testbed's androidTest/local-unit-test files, left on JUnit4/androidx.test since that's a separate ecosystem and the module isn't even in the default build) now run on JUnit 6.1.3 (Platform + Jupiter + Vintage all unified under one version as of JUnit 6).

  • org.junit.Test/Before/BeforeClass/AfterClass/Assert -> Jupiter equivalents across every test file.
  • @Test(expected = X.class) (14 call sites) -> assertThrows.
  • The one @Rule ExpectedException (DependencyResolutionTest) -> assertThrows.
  • The one @RunWith(Parameterized.class) (FileExtensionPathMatcherTest) -> @ParameterizedTest + @MethodSource.
  • Two stray junit.framework.TestCase (JUnit3-via-the-old-junit4-jar) static imports replaced with Jupiter's Assertions.
  • useJUnit() -> useJUnitPlatform() in the shared test task config; version catalog now declares junit-jupiter-api/engine/params + junit-platform-launcher instead of junit:junit:4.12.
  • Two false starts caught before landing: a blind rename briefly clobbered this codebase's own unrelated @Before/@After domain annotations (event-receiver test fixtures, same simple name as JUnit's) - reverted those back. And BeanContextInModuleTest compared two arrays with assertEquals instead of assertArrayEquals - passed under JUnit4, failed under Jupiter; fixed to the array-aware assertion, which is what the test actually meant.
  • Also carried over the (still-open, fix(test): stop ModuleEnvironmentWatcherTest racing WatchService delivery #173) WatchService-polling fix for ModuleEnvironmentWatcherTest, so this branch's own CI isn't red for an unrelated pre-existing flake.

Regenerated every affected gradle.lockfile.

Test plan:

  • ./gradlew build succeeds (excluding the pre-existing, unrelated SecurityManager UnsupportedOperationException failures in SandboxTest/PermissiveSandboxTest/EmbeddedLibraryTest - those reproduce identically on unmigrated develop on this JDK, since System.setSecurityManager is now disabled by default; not something this PR touches or introduces)
  • animalsnifferMain passes on every module

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Migrated the automated test suite from JUnit 4 to the modern JUnit Jupiter platform.
    • Improved exception testing and parameterized test coverage.
    • Made asset-change checks more reliable by waiting for asynchronous updates before asserting results.
  • Chores
    • Updated test configuration and locked testing components across modules.

Walkthrough

The project migrates its Gradle test execution and module test suites from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5. Tests now use Jupiter annotations, assertions, lifecycle APIs, parameterized tests, and explicit exception assertions.

Changes

JUnit 5 migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build and dependency foundation
build-logic/..., settings.gradle.kts
The shared test task uses useJUnitPlatform(). The version catalog replaces JUnit 4 with JUnit Jupiter and Platform aliases.
Asset core test migration
gestalt-asset-core/...
Asset core dependencies and locks use JUnit 5. Tests update imports and exception handling. The watcher test adds bounded polling through awaitChange.
Dependency injection test migration
gestalt-di/...
Dependency injection tests update assertions and lifecycle annotations. Rule-based exception checks use assertThrows.
Entity system test migration
gestalt-entity-system/..., gestalt-es-perf/...
Entity system and performance test dependencies, locks, imports, assertions, and setup annotations migrate to JUnit 5.
Module test migration
gestalt-module/...
Module tests migrate lifecycle and assertion APIs. Expected exceptions use explicit assertThrows calls.
Utility test migration
gestalt-util/...
Utility tests migrate to Jupiter. The parameterized matcher test uses @ParameterizedTest with a Stream<Arguments>.
Java injection test dependencies
gestalt-inject-java/...
The module uses Jupiter dependencies, and Byte Buddy is restricted to test classpaths.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ce04

The migration removes the shared JUnit 4 catalog alias while two Android build files still reference libs.junit; when Android projects are enabled, Gradle configuration fails before tests run. The issue is conditional and outside the default build, but those builds are not merge-ready until the alias is restored or the consumers are updated.

Poem

A rabbit hops through Jupiter’s light
Old JUnit locks fade from sight
Assertions bloom, exceptions behave
Test platforms march in a wave
The build now runs each suite just right

Fixed: restored the junit (JUnit 4) catalog alias in settings.gradle.kts — it's still needed by gestalt-android and gestalt-android-testbed, which weren't part of this migration. This was also the Jenkins failure (gestalt-android/build.gradle:54, evaluated on CI where the Android SDK is present). Amended into the original commit and force-pushed.

gestalt-android has no test sources; drop its unused JUnit4 dependency.
gestalt-android-testbed's local unit test (src/test) now runs on the
JUnit Platform via AGP's testOptions.unitTests.all.useJUnitPlatform().
androidTest stays on JUnit4 - AndroidJUnitRunner doesn't support Jupiter.

The junit (JUnit4) catalog alias is now unused; removed.

Also migrated the Android modules' local unit tests: gestalt-android had no test sources (dropped its unused JUnit4 dep), gestalt-android-testbed's src/test unit test now runs on the JUnit Platform via AGP's testOptions.unitTests.all.useJUnitPlatform(). androidTest (instrumented, on-device) stays on JUnit4 since AndroidJUnitRunner doesn't support Jupiter. The junit catalog alias is now fully unused and removed.

Also rebased onto latest develop to pick up the commons-vfs2 removal and resolve the resulting lockfile conflicts.
