JUnit Dependencie

In order to test our entities, we must include JUnit in our project's dependencies.

Testing our entities will ensure that we have properly configured our JPA environment (in the persistence.xml) and annotated our entity classes correctly.

1. First things first, we need to include testing dependencies in our build.gradle file.

ext {
  hibernateVersion = "5.4.32.Final"
  mySqlConnectorVersion = "8.0.27"
  junit5Version = "5.8.2"
}

// define project specific dependencies
dependencies {
  implementation "mysql:mysql-connector-java:$mySqlConnectorVersion"
  implementation "log4j:log4j:1.2.17"
  implementation "org.hibernate:hibernate-core:$hibernateVersion"
  implementation "org.hibernate:hibernate-c3p0:$hibernateVersion"
  
  testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter:$junit5Version")
}

• Since this dependency is used only in testing, we add it to our dependencies with the testImplementation configuration.

• Now we tell Gradle to use JUnit when its test task is run - add this after the dependencies block:

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

1. Make sure you save your build.gradle before you run a Gradle refresh. Our project is now set up for creating JUnit tests.
