Running a single JUnit test in Eclipse

Question

If I have a test suite with multiple tests, when I try to run a single unit test, either from the context menu of the code editor, or from the JUnit view, it seems to insist

Answer 1

I'll add to the others by including a highly productive keyboard only way that allows you to debug a single unit test (method).

Move your cursor to the method name by using either

• Ctrl+Shift+Up or
• Ctrl+Shift+Down or
• Ctrl+o then type the name of the method

Once your cursor is on the method name (or right before it):

• Alt+Shift+D -> T (Debug)
• Alt+Shift+X -> T (Run)

After you run the test you can go back to where your cursor was by doing:

Alt+Back

You almost get REPL like behavior by:

Ctrl+Shift+Up and Alt+Shift+X -> T and Alt+Back

You can also quickly set a breakpoint:

Ctrl+Shift+B
