Incorrect order of print statements when using `@Suite` and `@BeforeSuite` with IntelliJ IDEA

[wind57]

I'm using junit-bom:

<dependencyManagement>
		<dependencies>
			<dependency>
				<groupId>org.junit</groupId>
				<artifactId>junit-bom</artifactId>
				<version>5.11.1</version>
				<type>pom</type>
				<scope>import</scope>
			</dependency>
		</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

And I have two simple classes:

@Suite
@SelectClasses(TestClass.class)
public class MySuite {

	public static int x = 0;

	@BeforeSuite
	static void beforeSuite() {
		x = 42;
		System.out.println("before suite");
	}

	@AfterSuite
	static void afterSuite() {
		System.out.println("after suite");
	}

}

and

public class TestClass {

	@Test
	void test() {
		System.out.println("testing : " + MySuite.x);
	}

}

If run MySuite from IntelliJ (latest version available: Build #IU-241.19072.14, built on August 8, 2024), I get such an output:

testing : 42
before suite
after suite

While logically everything is correct, the order of the output is not: before suite should come before testing: 42.

The interesting part is that if I run the package where this MySuite resides, the output is now in the correct order.

Is this expected?

Thank you.

Hi @wind57,

Congratulations on raising your first issue for JUnit 5! 👍

When I run your example in Eclipse IDE, I get the following output on the console.

before suite
testing : 42
after suite

And since you also see testing : 42 instead of testing : 0 in IntelliJ, I assume that the different console output you see is perhaps related to how IntelliJ handles/redirects System.out.

In light of that, I am closing this issue, but feel free to raise an issue directly in the IntelliJ IDEA issue tracker.

Cheers,

Sam
