Junit5 never hitting #BeforeAll inside #Suite class

Currently going through the process of upgrading from Junit4 to Junit5 and running into a bit of a hurdle with something that used to work in Junit4.
Wondering if there is a way to access the #BeforeAll/#AfterAll (formerly #BeforeClass/#AfterClass) within a class which is also a #Suite
Example:
#Suite
#SelectClasses({
SquareService.class,
TriangleService.class
})
public class ShapeTestSuite {
#BeforeAll
public void beforeAll() {
Log.info("Shape Test Suite Start!");
}
#AfterAll
public void afterAll() {
Log.info("Shape Test Suite End!");
}
}
I've tried adding an extension to this class/suite, but that also does not seem to work. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

#BeforeAll and #AfterAll runs before any execution of #Test, #TestFactory, etc.
So if you create one them you will see that your code will be run correctly.

#BeforeAll and #AfterAll are annotations from Jupiter, which is one (of many) JUnit 5 engines. #Suite, however, is independent and can run tests and test suites combined from any JUnit 5 engine. That’s why you cannot use a before-all method in a suite class.

Junit set up once for whole integration tests(all test classes)

I have some own components, which I start before my Java application. It takes about 30 seconds to start this. In my integration tests, I start my components before the class and all test cases run. My question is, is it possible to run my components not before the test class, but rather before the whole test?
kind regards,

If you use JUnit suites you can use a #BeforeClass to execute a method before the entire suite runs and an #AfterClass after the entire suite runs:
#RunWith(Suite.class)
#SuiteClasses(
{
//list your test classes here
}
)
public class IntegrationSuite{
#BeforeClass
public static void setupSuite(){
//do your initialization here
}
#AfterClass
public static void tearDownSuite(){
//...if needed
}
}

Use the #BeforeClass annotation.
Please note that the annotated method has to be static.
#BeforeClass
public static void oneTimeInit() {
System.out.println("It runs only once for all tests in this class.");
}

If you are using maven you could use the maven-failsafe-plugin. It has a pre-integration-test goal intended for test setup. For an example take a look at Maven Failsafe Plugin: how to use the pre- and post-integration-test phases

JUnit: Is there any difference between running a Suite, and running tests individually?

I am having a problem, one test class seems to be interfering with the other in my test suite.
I have a suite, which executes two classes, one is called MergeTestSuite.java (which is another Suite), and the other is called RecordTest.java.
RecordTest extends one class already tested by MergeTestSuite.java
I created another suite as follows:
#RunWith(Suite.class)
#Suite.SuiteClasses( {
MergeTestSuite.class,
RecordTest.class
})
public class CoreTestSuite {
#BeforeClass
public static void install() throws Throwable {
RegistryUtils.cleanupResources();
}
}
Both MergeTestSuite.class and RecordTest.class run fine individually. If I run CoreTestSuite, the second test will fail, unless I remove MergeTestSuite.class from the list.

A Junit TestSuite provides extra features for multiple tests. For instance, you can control the order in which the tests run and you can also combine multiple test suites into another suite. I think this older doc from Junit 3.1.8 describes it best.

How do I make a junit white list of tests to run

I'm working on writing unit tests for a class that I'm developing. Another developer is developing other tests for the same class for methods that he's developing. So our tests find themselves in the same JUnit test class.
So what I wanted to do was to set up a test suite to run just my tests while I'm developing as a temporary measure. I created a Category for my tests and have marked them as such. I then created a class to be my test suite. I told it to include tests that belong to this category. When I run it, it still runs everything. There are a lot of tests, so it would be tedious to mark all the tests I don't want ran with #Ignore. Is there a way to say, run only the tests in a category but none else?

You can write a wrapper test class which method calls the main test class (only your method), then run Junit tests on the wrapper class.
public class MainTestClass {
#Test
public void yourFirstTest() {
...
}
#Test
public void yourSecondTest() {
...
}
#Test
public void otherFirstTest() {
...
}
}
public class WrapperTestClass {
#Test
public void yourFirstTest() {
new MainTestClass().yourFirstTest();
}
#Test
public void yourSecondTest() {
new MainTestClass().yourSecondTest();
}
}

I think you can implement your own 'org.junit.runner.RunWith' and then annotate your test class to use it as necessary.
#RunWith(MyRunnerClass.class)
Note: The correct solution here is in the above comments regarding code branches etc.

#BeforeClass runs multiple times for the same class in eclipse

I am writing some junit tests in eclipse and I need to do some time consuming setup before the tests. Appeared that #BeforeClass should be the way to do this. I currently tested this on a class that has 2 #Test functions.
When I right click on a class in eclipse and chose "Run As" -> "JUnit Test" I can see that the #BeforeClass is executed before both functions.
I even tried to change #BeforeClass to #Before and stored in a boolean whether we had already executed this function, but it seems that eclipse created two class objects from the same class, one for each test to run so that did not help either.
So what should I do to have a setup function run only one time even if I have many tests ? Or am I just using eclipse incorrectly when trying to run the tests ?
The setup is something like this:
public class SuperClass {
#BeforeClass
public void { // do timeconsuming setup }
}
public class TestClass extends SuperClass {
#Test
public void test1() { // perform first test }
#Test
public void test2() { // perform second test }
}

Making static the method annotated with BeforeClass may be the solution:
#BeforeClass
public static void

#BeforeClass methods should be static in order to be executed only once.
