JUnit Threads still running after test ends

[Zeki Karaca]

Hi all,

I need some advice/help. I have a test suite as follows:

public class AllTests extends TestCase {

    public static Test suite() {
    	TestSuite suite = new TestSuite("AllTests");
        
        // Add one entry for each formula test class
        suite.addTestSuite(TestOne.class);

        return suite;
    }
    
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        junit.textui.TestRunner.run(suite());
    }
}

A test abstraction class:

public class TestAbstraction extends SeleneseTestCase {
       public void login(String username, String password) throws Exception {
		selenium.open("/login.jsp");
		selenium.type("j_username", username);
		selenium.type("j_password", password);
		selenium.click("//input[@name='login']");
		selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
	}

        //more methods

}

A test as follows:

public class TestOne extends TestAbstraction {    

	public void setUp() throws Exception {
            setUp(BASE_URL, BROWSER);
	}

	public void test() throws Exception {
		login(LOGIN_NAME, LOGIN_PASSWORD);

               //extra stuff
        }
}

When i test this by running the test suite, a few threads are started in eclipse. After my test ends, these thread are still running. When i want to test again, again a few threads are started and this keeps going on and slows down the whole system everytime i try to test. Why are these threads not stopped? Should i use tearDown() to do this manually somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.

You need to stop your Selenium.

And where would i do that? In a tearDown() method? If so, where? I have 3 different classes, as seen above (all extend TestCase (in)directly).

I am using Selenium RC with Java. Part of my code is here:

	public void setUp() throws Exception {
		System.out.println("starting");
		selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost",
	            4444,
	            "*iexplore",
	            "http://127.0.0.1:8080/");

		selenium.start();
		System.out.println(selenium);
	}
	public void tearDown() throws Exception {
		System.out.println("stopping");
		selenium.close();
		selenium.stop();
		if(selenium == null) {
			System.out.println("dead");
			System.out.println(selenium);
		}else{
			System.out.println("alive");
			System.out.println(selenium);
		}
	}
    

The selenium session is not killed! Selenium.stop() is not working? See generated output:

starting
com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium@1abc7b9
stopping
alive
com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium@1abc7b9

As i told before, some of the threads that are started are still running. What am i doing wrong?
