How to autowire field in static @BeforeClass?

Question

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public void ITest {
    @Autowired
    private EntityRepository dao;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void init() {
        da         


        

Answer 1

With Junit 5 you can do this (@BeforeAll instead of @BeforeClass)

public void ITest {
    @Autowired
    private EntityRepository dao;

    @BeforeAll
    public static void init(@Autowired EntityRepository dao) {
        dao.save(initialEntity); //possible now as autowired function parameter is used
    }
}

By leaving the field it means it can be used in other tests
