The instruction itself

as written by the author

Goal: Migrate JUnit 5 parameterized tests using @MethodSource/@CsvSource/@ValueSource to @TableTest with minimal churn and passing tests.

Process (do in this order):

1) Locate targets via Grep (no agent subprocess). Search for: "@ParameterizedTest", "@MethodSource", "@CsvSource", "@ValueSource".

2) Read all matching files up front (parallel is OK).

3) Convert eligible tests to @TableTest.

4) Write each modified file once in full using Write (no incremental per-test edits).

5) Run module tests once and verify "BUILD SUCCESSFUL". If failed, inspect JUnit XML report.

Import: import org.tabletest.junit.TableTest;

JDK 8 rules:

  • No text blocks.
  • @TableTest must use String[] annotation array syntax:
  @TableTest({
   "a | b",
   "1 | 2"
  })

Table formatting rules (mandatory):

  • Always include a header row (parameter names).
  • Always add a "scenario" column; using common sense for naming; scenario is NOT a method parameter.
  • Use '|' as delimiter.
  • Align columns with spaces so pipes line up vertically.
  • Prefer single quotes for strings requiring quotes (e.g., 'a|b', '[]', '{}', ' ').
  • Use value sets ({a, b, c}) instead of matrix-style repetition when only one dimension varies across otherwise-identical rows.

Conversions:

A) @CsvSource

  • Remove @ParameterizedTest and @CsvSource.
  • If delimiter is '|': rows map directly to @TableTest.
  • If delimiter is ',' (default): replace ',' with '|' in rows.

B) @ValueSource

  • Keep single-parameter tests on @ValueSource (and @NullSource when null cases are needed).
  • Otherwise convert to @TableTest with header from parameter name.
  • Each value becomes one row.
  • Add "scenario" column using common sense for name.

C) @MethodSource (convert only if values are representable as strings)

  • Convert when argument values are primitives, strings, enums, booleans, nulls, and simple collection literals supported by TableTest:
  • Array: [a, b, ...]
  • List: [a, b, ...]
  • Set: {a, b, ...}
  • Map: [k: v, ...]
  • @TableTest and @MethodSource may be combined on the same @ParameterizedTest when most cases are tabular but a few cases require programmatic setup.
  • In combined mode, keep table-friendly cases in @TableTest, and put only non-tabular/complex cases in @MethodSource.
  • If @TableTest is not viable for the test at all, use @MethodSource only.
  • For @MethodSource, name the arguments method <testMethodName>Arguments (camelCase, e.g. testMethodArguments) and return Stream<Arguments> using Stream.of(...) and arguments(...) with static import.
  • Blank cell = null (non-primitive).
  • '' = empty string.
  • For String params that start with '[' or '{', quote to avoid collection parsing (prefer '[]'/'{}').

D) @TypeConverter

  • Use @TypeConverter for symbolic constants used by migrated table rows (e.g. Long.MAX_VALUE, DDSpanId.MAX).
  • Prefer explicit one-case-one-return mappings.
  • Prefer shared converter utilities (e.g. in utils/test-utils) when reuse across modules is likely.

Scenario handling:

  • If MethodSource includes a leading description string OR @ParameterizedTest(name=...) uses {0}, convert that to a scenario column and remove that parameter from method signature.

Cleanup:

  • Delete now-unused @MethodSource provider methods and unused imports.

Mixed eligibility:

  • Prefer combining @TableTest + @MethodSource on one @ParameterizedTest when only some cases are complex.

Do NOT convert when:

  • Most rows require complex builders/mocks.

Test command (exact):

./gradlew :path:to:module:test --rerun-tasks 2>&1 | tail -20

  • If BUILD FAILED: cat path/to/module/build/test-results/test/TEST-*.xml
