junitparameter exception method should have no parameter

Question

By using JUnitParameter for testing a methode I have an exception. My code is similar to lot of example on JUnitParameter:

    private Object parametersForTe         


        

Answer 1

This error may show up when your test method(having @Test annotation) have any arguments

For anyone else who came here because of the same error they are seeing but not with JUitParameter.

I hit this same error, in my code.

The error was because for a method with argument, I had accidentally added a @Test tag. (Added it when I was testing just that method and then forgot to remove it). Silly me. Worked fine when I removed the @Test. If you want the @Test, then the method shouldn't have any arguments

@Test
void assertResult(String result) {
    Assert.assertTrue(!"403".equals(result) && !"404".equals(result) && !"400".equals(result));
    Assert.assertNotNull(result);
}
