Extension
- Functional Interface:
- This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
@FunctionalInterface @API(status=EXPERIMENTAL, since="5.3") public interface TestInstanceFactory extends ExtensionTestInstanceFactorydefines the API forExtensionsthat wish to create test instances.Common use cases include creating test instances with special construction requirements or acquiring the test instance from a dependency injection framework.
Extensions that implement
TestInstanceFactorymust be registered at the class level.Warning
Only one
TestInstanceFactoryis allowed to be registered for any given test class. Registering multiple factories for any single test class will result in an exception being thrown for all tests in that class, in any subclass, and in any nested class. Note that anyTestInstanceFactoryregistered in a superclass or enclosing class (i.e., in the case of a@Nestedtest class) is inherited. It is therefore the user's responsibility to ensure that only a singleTestInstanceFactoryis registered for any specific test class.Constructor Requirements
Consult the documentation in
Extensionfor details on constructor requirements.

ExtensionContextsupplied to aTestInstanceFactorywill always return an emptyOptionalvalue fromgetTestInstance()since the test instance cannot exist before it has been created by aTestInstanceFactoryor the framework itself.- Parameters:
factoryContext- the context for the test class to be instantiated; nevernullextensionContext- the current extension context; nevernull- Returns:
