Error added: 2009-12-21T06:37:18Z
Some Junit tests prefixed with @Test would not run, and when individually selected they would give the error: Unrooted Tests, caused by InitializationError0. After doing \'mvn clean install\' the tests were OK.
I had the same problem. I am using 3.8 and I have built a framework to run common tests on objects in our project where TestCase is rooted in the heirarchy. One TestCase happens to be implementing an interface and has to override the equals and hashCode methods (for various OO reasons) and the equals method was checking for the wrong instanceof: i.e., my test class is called Foo extends ProjectBaseTest extends TestCast and the equals method of Foo was checking to see if the instance was Bar. In summary, the equals method was alway\'s returning false. I corrected the implementation of the equals method and Unrooted Tests no longer exists.
