## org.junit.runners
Class ParentRunner<T>

    java.lang.Object
      org.junit.runner.Runner
          org.junit.runners.ParentRunner<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Describable, Filterable, Sortable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  BlockJUnit4ClassRunner, Suite

    public abstract class ParentRunner<T>

extends Runner
implements Filterable, Sortable

Provides most of the functionality specific to a Runner that implements a "parent node" in the test tree, with children defined by objects of some data type `T`. (For `BlockJUnit4ClassRunner`, `T` is `Method` . For `Suite`, `T` is `Class`.) Subclasses must implement finding the children of the node, describing each child, and running each child. ParentRunner will filter and sort children, handle `@BeforeClass` and `@AfterClass` methods, create a composite `Description`, and run children sequentially.

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `ParentRunner(java.lang.Class<?> testClass)` Constructs a new `ParentRunner` that will run `@TestClass`

Method Summary
`protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement` | `childrenInvoker(RunNotifier notifier)` Returns a `Statement`: Call `runChild(Object, RunNotifier)` on each object returned by `getChildren()` (subject to any imposed filter and sort)
`protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement` | `classBlock(RunNotifier notifier)` Constructs a `Statement` to run all of the tests in the test class.
`protected void` | `collectInitializationErrors(java.util.List<java.lang.Throwable> errors)` Adds to `errors` a throwable for each problem noted with the test class (available from `getTestClass()`).
`protected abstract Description` | `describeChild(T child)` Returns a `Description` for `child`, which can be assumed to be an element of the list returned by `getChildren()`
`void` | `filter(Filter filter)` Remove tests that don't pass the parameter `filter`.
`protected abstract java.util.List<T>` | `getChildren()` Returns a list of objects that define the children of this Runner.
`Description` | `getDescription()`
`protected java.lang.String` | `getName()` Returns a name used to describe this Runner
`protected org.junit.runners.model.TestClass` | `getTestClass()` Returns a `TestClass` object wrapping the class to be executed.
`void` | `run(RunNotifier notifier)` Run the tests for this runner.
`protected abstract void` | `runChild(T child, RunNotifier notifier)` Runs the test corresponding to `child`, which can be assumed to be an element of the list returned by `getChildren()`.
`void` | `sort(Sorter sorter)` Sorts the tests using `sorter`
`protected void` | `validatePublicVoidNoArgMethods(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> annotation, boolean isStatic, java.util.List<java.lang.Throwable> errors)` Adds to `errors` if any method in this class is annotated with `annotation`, but: is not public, or takes parameters, or returns something other than void, or is static (given `isStatic is false`), or is not static (given `isStatic is true`).
`protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement` | `withAfterClasses(org.junit.runners.model.Statement statement)` Returns a `Statement`: run all non-overridden `@AfterClass` methods on this class and superclasses before executing `statement`; all AfterClass methods are always executed: exceptions thrown by previous steps are combined, if necessary, with exceptions from AfterClass methods into a `MultipleFailureException`.
`protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement` | `withBeforeClasses(org.junit.runners.model.Statement statement)` Returns a `Statement`: run all non-overridden `@BeforeClass` methods on this class and superclasses before executing `statement`; if any throws an Exception, stop execution and pass the exception on.

Constructor Detail

### ParentRunner

    protected ParentRunner(java.lang.Class<?> testClass)
                    throws org.junit.runners.model.InitializationError

  Constructs a new `ParentRunner` that will run `@TestClass`

  Throws:
    `org.junit.runners.model.InitializationError`

Method Detail

### getChildren

    protected abstract java.util.List<T> getChildren()

  Returns a list of objects that define the children of this Runner.

### describeChild

    protected abstract Description describeChild(T child)

  Returns a `Description` for `child`, which can be assumed to be an element of the list returned by `getChildren()`

### runChild

    protected abstract void runChild(T child,
                                     RunNotifier notifier)

  Runs the test corresponding to `child`, which can be assumed to be an element of the list returned by `getChildren()`. Subclasses are responsible for making sure that relevant test events are reported through `notifier`

### collectInitializationErrors

    protected void collectInitializationErrors(java.util.List<java.lang.Throwable> errors)

  Adds to `errors` a throwable for each problem noted with the test class (available from `getTestClass()`). Default implementation adds an error for each method annotated with `@BeforeClass` or `@AfterClass` that is not `public static void` with no arguments.

### validatePublicVoidNoArgMethods

    protected void validatePublicVoidNoArgMethods(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> annotation,
                                                  boolean isStatic,
                                                  java.util.List<java.lang.Throwable> errors)

  Adds to `errors` if any method in this class is annotated with `annotation`, but:
  - is not public, or
  - takes parameters, or
  - returns something other than void, or
  - is static (given `isStatic is false`), or
  - is not static (given `isStatic is true`).

### classBlock

    protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement classBlock(RunNotifier notifier)

  Constructs a `Statement` to run all of the tests in the test class. Override to add pre-/post-processing. Here is an outline of the implementation:
  - Call `runChild(Object, RunNotifier)` on each object returned by `getChildren()` (subject to any imposed filter and sort).
  - ALWAYS run all non-overridden `@BeforeClass` methods on this class and superclasses before the previous step; if any throws an Exception, stop execution and pass the exception on.
  - ALWAYS run all non-overridden `@AfterClass` methods on this class and superclasses before any of the previous steps; all AfterClass methods are always executed: exceptions thrown by previous steps are combined, if necessary, with exceptions from AfterClass methods into a `MultipleFailureException`.

  Parameters:
    `notifier` -
  Returns:
    `Statement`

### withBeforeClasses

    protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement withBeforeClasses(org.junit.runners.model.Statement statement)

  Returns a `Statement`: run all non-overridden `@BeforeClass` methods on this class and superclasses before executing `statement`; if any throws an Exception, stop execution and pass the exception on.

### withAfterClasses

    protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement withAfterClasses(org.junit.runners.model.Statement statement)

  Returns a `Statement`: run all non-overridden `@AfterClass` methods on this class and superclasses before executing `statement`; all AfterClass methods are always executed: exceptions thrown by previous steps are combined, if necessary, with exceptions from AfterClass methods into a `MultipleFailureException`.

### childrenInvoker

    protected org.junit.runners.model.Statement childrenInvoker(RunNotifier notifier)

  Returns a `Statement`: Call `runChild(Object, RunNotifier)` on each object returned by `getChildren()` (subject to any imposed filter and sort)

### getName

    protected java.lang.String getName()

  Returns a name used to describe this Runner

### getTestClass

    protected final org.junit.runners.model.TestClass getTestClass()

  Returns a `TestClass` object wrapping the class to be executed.

### getDescription

    public Description getDescription()

  Specified by:
    `getDescription` in interface `Describable`
  Specified by:
    `getDescription` in class `Runner`
  Returns:
    a `Description` showing the tests to be run by the receiver

### run

    public void run(RunNotifier notifier)

  Description copied from class: `Runner`
  Run the tests for this runner.

  Specified by:
    `run` in class `Runner`
  Parameters:

### filter

    public void filter(Filter filter)
                throws NoTestsRemainException

  Description copied from interface: `Filterable`
  Remove tests that don't pass the parameter `filter`.

  Specified by:
    `filter` in interface `Filterable`
  Parameters:
    `filter` - the `Filter` to apply
  Throws:
    `NoTestsRemainException` - if all tests are filtered out

### sort
