# Vertx unit

Asynchronous polyglot unit testing.

## Introduction

Vertx Unit is designed for writing asynchronous unit tests with a polyglot API and running these tests in the JVM. Vertx Unit Api borrows from existing test frameworks like JUnit or QUnit and follows the Vert.x practices.

As a consequence Vertx Unit is the natural choice for testing Vert.x applications.

To use vert.x unit, add the following dependency to the dependencies section of your build descriptor:

- Maven (in your `pom.xml`):

    <dependency>
     <groupId>io.vertx</groupId>
     <artifactId>vertx-unit</artifactId>
     <version>3.9.11</version>
     <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

- Gradle (in your `build.gradle` file):

    testCompile ${io.vertx}:${vertx-unit}:3.9.11

Vert.x unit can be used in different ways and run anywhere your code runs, it is just a matter of reporting the results the right way, this example shows the bare minimum test suite:

    def suite = TestSuite.create("the_test_suite")
    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      def s = "value"
      context.assertEquals("value", s)
    })
    suite.run()

The `run` method will execute the suite and go through all the tests of the suite. The suite can fail or pass, this does not matter if the outer world is not aware of the test result.

    def suite = TestSuite.create("the_test_suite")
    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      def s = "value"
      context.assertEquals("value", s)
    })
    suite.run([
      reporters:[
        [
          to:"console"
        ]
      ]
    ])

When executed, the test suite now reports to the console the steps of the test suite:

    Begin test suite the_test_suite
    Begin test my_test
    Passed my_test
    End test suite the_test_suite , run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0

The `reporters` option configures the reporters used by the suite runner for reporting the execution of the tests, see the Reporting section for more info.

## Writing a test suite

A test suite is a named collection of test case, a test case is a straight callback to execute. The suite can have lifecycle callbacks to execute before and/or after the test cases or the test suite that are used for initializing or disposing services used by the test suite.

    def suite = TestSuite.create("the_test_suite")
    suite.test("my_test_case_1", { context ->
      // Test 1
    })
    suite.test("my_test_case_2", { context ->
      // Test 2
    })
    suite.test("my_test_case_3", { context ->
      // Test 3
    })

The API is fluent and therefore the test cases can be chained:

    def suite = TestSuite.create("the_test_suite")
    suite.test("my_test_case_1", { context ->
      // Test 1
    }).test("my_test_case_2", { context ->
      // Test 2
    }).test("my_test_case_3", { context ->
      // Test 3
    })

The test cases declaration order is not guaranteed, so test cases should not rely on the execution of another test case to run. Such practice is considered as a bad one.

Vertx Unit provides before and after callbacks for doing global setup or cleanup:

    def suite = TestSuite.create("the_test_suite")
    suite.before({ context ->
      // Test suite setup
    }).test("my_test_case_1", { context ->
      // Test 1
    }).test("my_test_case_2", { context ->
      // Test 2
    }).test("my_test_case_3", { context ->
      // Test 3
    }).after({ context ->
      // Test suite cleanup
    })

The declaration order of the method does not matter, the example declares the before callback before the test cases and after callback after the test cases but it could be anywhere, as long as it is done before running the test suite.

The before callback is executed before any tests, when it fails, the test suite execution will stop and the failure is reported. The after callback is the last callback executed by the testsuite, unless the before callback reporter a failure.

Likewise, Vertx Unit provides the beforeEach and afterEach callback that do the same but are executed for each test case:

    def suite = TestSuite.create("the_test_suite")
    suite.beforeEach({ context ->
      // Test case setup
    }).test("my_test_case_1", { context ->
      // Test 1
    }).test("my_test_case_2", { context ->
      // Test 2
    }).test("my_test_case_3", { context ->
      // Test 3
    }).afterEach({ context ->
      // Test case cleanup
    })

The beforeEach callback is executed before each test case, when it fails, the test case is not executed and the failure is reported. The afterEach callback is the executed just after the test case callback, unless the beforeEach callback reported a failure.

## Asserting

Vertx Unit provides the `TestContext` object for doing assertions in test cases. The context object provides the usual methods when dealing with assertions.

### assertEquals

Assert two objects are equals, works for basic types or json types.

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      context.assertEquals(10, callbackCount)
    })

There is also an overloaded version for providing a message:

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      context.assertEquals(10, callbackCount, "Should have been 10 instead of ${callbackCount}")
    })

Usually each assertion provides an overloaded version.

### assertNotEquals

The counter part of assertEquals.

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      context.assertNotEquals(10, callbackCount)
    })

### assertNull

Assert an object is null, works for basic types or json types.

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      context.assertNull(null)
    })

### assertNotNull

The counter part of assertNull.

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      context.assertNotNull("not null!")
    })

### assertInRange

The `assertInRange` targets real numbers.

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->

      // Assert that 0.1 is equals to 0.2 +/- 0.5

      context.assertInRange(0.1d, 0.2d, 0.5d)
    })

### assertTrue and assertFalse

Asserts the value of a boolean expression.

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      context.assertTrue(var)
      context.assertFalse(value > 10)
    })

### Failing

Last but not least, test provides a fail method that will throw an assertion error:

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      context.fail("That should never happen")
      // Following statements won't be executed
    })

The failure can either be a string as seen previously or an error. The error object depends on the target language, for Java or Groovy it can be any class extending Throwable- , for JavaScript it is an _error, for Ruby it is an Exception.

### Using third-party assertion framework

It is also possible to use any other assertion framework, like the popular hamcrest and assertj. The recommended way to go is to use `verify` and perform the assertions within the supplied Handler. This way, asynchronous testing termination will be correctly handled.

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      context.verify({ v ->
        // Using here Assert from junit, could be assertj, hamcrest or any other
        // Even manually throwing an AssertionError.
        org.junit.Assert.assertNotNull("not null!")
        org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(10, callbackCount)
      })
    })

## Asynchronous testing

The previous examples supposed that test cases were terminated after their respective callbacks, this is the default behavior of a test case callback. Often it is desirable to terminate the test after the test case callback, for instance:

The Async object asynchronously completes the test case

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      def async = context.async()
      eventBus.consumer("the-address", { msg ->
        // (2)
        async.complete()
      })
      // (1)
    })

1. The callback exits but the test case is not terminated

2. The event callback from the bus terminates the test

Creating an `Async` object with the `async` method marks the executed test case as non terminated. The test case terminates when the `complete` method is invoked.

Note | When the `complete` callback is not invoked, the test case fails after a certain timeout.

Several `Async` objects can be created during the same test case, all of them must be completed to terminate the test.

Several Async objects provide coordination

    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->

      def async1 = context.async()
      def client = vertx.createHttpClient()
      def req = client.get(8080, "localhost", "/")
      req.exceptionHandler({ err ->
        context.fail(err.getMessage())
      })
      req.handler({ resp ->
        context.assertEquals(200, resp.statusCode())
        async1.complete()
      })
      req.end()

      def async2 = context.async()
      vertx.eventBus().consumer("the-address", { msg ->
        async2.complete()
      })
    })

Async objects can also be used in before or after callbacks, it can be very convenient in a before callback to implement a setup that depends on one or several asynchronous results:

Async starts an http server before test cases

    suite.before({ context ->
      def async = context.async()
      def server = vertx.createHttpServer()
      server.requestHandler(requestHandler)
      server.listen(8080, { ar ->
        context.assertTrue(ar.succeeded())
        async.complete()
      })
    })

It is possible to wait until the completion of a specific `Async`, similar to Java’s count-down latch:

Wait for completion

    def async = context.async()
    def server = vertx.createHttpServer()
    server.requestHandler(requestHandler)
    server.listen(8080, { ar ->
      context.assertTrue(ar.succeeded())
      async.complete()
    })

    // Wait until completion
    async.awaitSuccess()

    // Do something else

Warning | this should not be executed from the event loop!

Async can also be created with an initial count value, it completes when the count-down reaches zero using `countDown`:

Wait until the complete count-down reaches zero

    def async = context.async(2)
    def server = vertx.createHttpServer()
    server.requestHandler(requestHandler)
    server.listen(8080, { ar ->
      context.assertTrue(ar.succeeded())
      async.countDown()
    })

    vertx.setTimer(1000, { id ->
      async.complete()
    })

    // Wait until completion of the timer and the http request
    async.awaitSuccess()

    // Do something else

Calling `complete()` on an async completes the async as usual, it actually sets the value to `0`.

## Asynchronous assertions

`TestContext` provides useful methods that provides powerful constructs for async testing:

The `asyncAssertSuccess` method returns an {@literal Handler<AsyncResult<T>>} instance that acts like `Async`, resolving the `Async` on success and failing the test on failure with the failure cause.

    Async async = context.async();
    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        async.complete();
      } else {
        context.fail(ar.cause());
      }
    });

    // Can be replaced by

    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", context.asyncAssertSuccess());

The `asyncAssertSuccess` method returns an {@literal Handler<AsyncResult<T>>} instance that acts like `Async`, invoking the delegating {@literal Handler<T>} on success and failing the test on failure with the failure cause.

    AtomicBoolean started = new AtomicBoolean();
    Async async = context.async();
    vertx.deployVerticle(new AbstractVerticle() {
      public void start() throws Exception {
        started.set(true);
      }
    }, ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        context.assertTrue(started.get());
        async.complete();
      } else {
        context.fail(ar.cause());
      }
    });

    // Can be replaced by

    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", context.asyncAssertSuccess(id -> {
      context.assertTrue(started.get());
    }));

The async is completed when the `Handler` exits, unless new asyncs were created during the invocation, which can be handy to chain asynchronous behaviors:

    Async async = context.async();
    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", ar1 -> {
      if (ar1.succeeded()) {
        vertx.deployVerticle("my.otherverticle", ar2 -> {
          if (ar2.succeeded()) {
            async.complete();
          } else {
            context.fail(ar2.cause());
          }
        });
      } else {
        context.fail(ar1.cause());
      }
    });

    // Can be replaced by

    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", context.asyncAssertSuccess(id ->
            vertx.deployVerticle("my_otherverticle", context.asyncAssertSuccess())
    ));

The `asyncAssertFailure` method returns an {@literal Handler<AsyncResult<T>>} instance that acts like `Async`, resolving the `Async` on failure and failing the test on success.

    Async async = context.async();
    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        context.fail();
      } else {
        async.complete();
      }
    });

    // Can be replaced by

    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", context.asyncAssertFailure());

The `asyncAssertFailure` method returns an {@literal Handler<AsyncResult<T>>} instance that acts like `Async`, invoking the delegating {@literal Handler<Throwable>} on failure and failing the test on success.

    Async async = context.async();
    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        context.fail();
      } else {
        context.assertTrue(ar.cause() instanceof IllegalArgumentException);
        async.complete();
      }
    });

    // Can be replaced by

    vertx.deployVerticle("my.verticle", context.asyncAssertFailure(cause -> {
      context.assertTrue(cause instanceof IllegalArgumentException);
    }));

The async is completed when the `Handler` exits, unless new asyncs were created during the invocation.

## Repeating test

When a test fails randomly or not often, for instance a race condition, it is convenient to run the same test multiple times to increase the failure likelihood of the test.

Repeating a test

    TestSuite.create("my_suite").test("my_test", 1000, { context ->
      // This will be executed 1000 times
    })

When declared, beforeEach and afterEach callbacks will be executed as many times as the test is executed.

Note | test repetition are executed sequentially

## Sharing objects

The `TestContext` has `get`/`put`/`remove` operations for sharing state between callbacks.

Any object added during the before callback is available in any other callbacks. Each test case will operate on a copy of the shared state, so updates will only be visible for a test case.

Sharing state between callbacks

    TestSuite.create("my_suite").before({ context ->

      // host is available for all test cases
      context.put("host", "localhost")

    }).beforeEach({ context ->

      // Generate a random port for each test
      def port = helper.randomPort()

      // Get host
      def host = context.get("host")

      // Setup server
      def async = context.async()
      def server = vertx.createHttpServer()
      server.requestHandler({ req ->
        req.response().setStatusCode(200).end()
      })
      server.listen(port, host, { ar ->
        context.assertTrue(ar.succeeded())
        context.put("port", port)
        async.complete()
      })

    }).test("my_test", { context ->

      // Get the shared state
      def port = context.get("port")
      def host = context.get("host")

      // Do request
      def client = vertx.createHttpClient()
      def req = client.get(port, host, "/resource")
      def async = context.async()
      req.handler({ resp ->
        context.assertEquals(200, resp.statusCode())
        async.complete()
      })
      req.end()
    })

Warning | sharing any object is only supported in Java, other languages can share only basic or json types. Other objects should be shared using the features of that language.

## Running

When a test suite is created, it won’t be executed until the `run` method is called.

Running a test suite

    suite.run()

The test suite can also be run with a specified `Vertx` instance:

Provides a Vertx instance to run the test suite

    suite.run(vertx)

When running with a `Vertx` instance, the test suite is executed using the Vertx event loop, see the Event loop section for more details.

A test suite can be run with the Vert.x Command Line Interface with the `vertx test` command:

Running a test suite with the Vert.x CLI

    > vertx test the_test_suite.js
    Begin test suite the_test_suite
    Succeeded in deploying verticle
    Begin test my_test_case
    Passed my_test_case
    End test suite my_suite , run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0

Such test suite just need to be executed via the `run` command, the `vertx test` command takes care of configuring reporting, timeout, etc…​, pretty much like in this example:

    def suite = TestSuite.create("the_test_suite")
    suite.test("my_test_case", { context ->
      def s = "value"
      context.assertEquals("value", s)
    })
    suite.run()

The `vertx test` command extends the `vertx run` command. The exit behavior of the JVM is changed the JVM exits when the test suite is executed and a return value is provided indicating the tests success (0) or failure (1).

Note | several test suites can executed in the same verticle, Vert.x Unit waits until completion of all suite executed.

### Test suite completion

No assumptions can be made about when the test suite will be completed, and if some code needs to be executed after the test suite, it should either be in the test suite after callback or as callback of the `Completion`:

Test suite execution callback

    def completion = suite.run(vertx)

    // Simple completion callback
    completion.handler({ ar ->
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        println("Test suite passed!")
      } else {
        println("Test suite failed:")
        ar.cause().printStackTrace()
      }
    })

The `Completion` object provides also a `resolve` method that takes a `Promise` object, this `Promise` will be notified of the test suite execution:

Resolving the start Promise with the test suite

    def completion = suite.run()

    // When the suite completes, the promise is resolved
    completion.resolve(startPromise)

This allow to easily create a test verticle whose deployment is the test suite execution, allowing the code that deploys it to be easily aware of the success or failure.

The completion object can also be used like a latch to block until the test suite completes. This should be used when the thread running the test suite is not the same than the current thread:

Blocking until the test suite completes

    def completion = suite.run()

    // Wait until the test suite completes
    completion.await()

The `await` throws an exception when the thread is interrupted or a timeout is fired.

The `awaitSuccess` is a variation that throws an exception when the test suite fails.

Blocking until the test suite succeeds

    def completion = suite.run()

    // Wait until the test suite succeeds otherwise throw an exception
    completion.awaitSuccess()

### Time out

Each test case of a test suite must execute before a certain timeout is reached. The default timeout is of 2 minutes, it can be changed using test options:

Setting the test suite timeout

    def options = [
      timeout:10000
    ]

    // Run with a 10 seconds time out
    suite.run(options)

### Event loop

Vertx Unit execution is a list of tasks to execute, the execution of each task is driven by the completion of the previous task. These tasks should leverage Vert.x event loop when possible but that depends on the current execution context (i.e the test suite is executed in a `main` or embedded in a `Verticle`) and wether or not a `Vertx` instance is configured.

The `setUseEventLoop` configures the usage of the event loop:

Table 1. Event loop usage
| useEventLoop:null | useEventLoop:true | useEventLoop:false
--- | --- | --- | ---
`Vertx` instance | use vertx event loop | use vertx event loop | force no event loop
in a `Verticle` | use current event loop | use current event loop | force no event loop
in a main | use no event loop | raise an error | use no event loop

The default `useEventLoop` value is `null`, that means that it will uses an event loop when possible and fallback to no event loop when no one is available.

## Reporting

Reporting is an important piece of a test suite, Vertx Unit can be configured to run with different kind of reporters.

By default no reporter is configured, when running a test suite, test options can be provided to configure one or several:

Using the console reporter and as a junit xml file

    // Report to console
    def consoleReport = [
      to:"console"
    ]

    // Report junit files to the current directory
    def junitReport = [
      to:"file:.",
      format:"junit"
    ]

    suite.run([
      reporters:[
        consoleReport,
        junitReport
      ]
    ])

### Console reporting

Reports to the JVM `System.out` and `System.err`:

to

  console

format

  simple or junit

### File reporting

Reports to a file, a `Vertx` instance must be provided:

to

  file `:` dir name

format

  simple or junit

example

  `file:.`

The file reporter will create files in the configured directory, the files will be named after the test suite name executed and the format (i.e simple creates txt files and junit creates xml files).

### Log reporting

Reports to a logger, a `Vertx` instance must be provided:

to

  log `:` logger name

example

  `log:mylogger`

### Event bus reporting

Reports events to the event bus, a `Vertx` instance must be provided:

to

  bus `:` event bus address

example

  `bus:the-address`

It allow to decouple the execution of the test suite from the reporting.

The messages sent over the event bus can be collected by the `EventBusCollector` and achieve custom reporting:

    def collector = EventBusCollector.create(vertx, [
      reporters:[
        [
          to:"file:report.xml",
          format:"junit"
        ]
      ]
    ])

    collector.register("the-address")

## Vertx integration

By default, assertions and failures must be done on the `TestContext` and throwing an assertion error works only when called by Vert.x Unit:

    suite.test("my_test_case", { ctx ->

      // The failure will be reported by Vert.x Unit
      throw new java.lang.RuntimeException("it failed!")
    })

In a regular Vert.x callback, the failure will be ignored:

    suite.test("test-server", { testContext ->
      def server = vertx.createHttpServer().requestHandler({ req ->
        if (req.path() == "/somepath") {
          throw new java.lang.AssertionError("Wrong path!")
        }
        req.response().end()
      })
    })

Since Vert.x 3.3, a global exception handler can be set to report the event loop uncaught exceptions:

    suite.before({ testContext ->

      // Report uncaught exceptions as Vert.x Unit failures
      vertx.exceptionHandler(testContext.exceptionHandler())
    })

    suite.test("test-server", { testContext ->
      def server = vertx.createHttpServer().requestHandler({ req ->
        if (req.path() == "/somepath") {
          throw new java.lang.AssertionError("Wrong path!")
        }
        req.response().end()
      })
    })

The exception handler is set during the before phase, the `TestContext` is shared between each before, test and after phase. So the exception handler obtained during the before phase is correct.

## Junit integration

Although Vertx Unit is polyglot and not based on JUnit, it is possible to run a Vertx Unit test suite or a test case from JUnit, allowing you to integrate your tests with JUnit and your build system or IDE.

Run a Java class as a JUnit test suite

    @RunWith(VertxUnitRunner.class)
    public class JUnitTestSuite {
      @Test
      public void testSomething(TestContext context) {
        context.assertFalse(false);
      }
    }

The `VertxUnitRunner` uses the junit annotations for introspecting the class and create a test suite after the class. The methods should declare a `TestContext` argument, if they don’t it is fine too. However the `TestContext` is the only way to retrieve the associated Vertx instance of perform asynchronous tests.

The JUnit integration is also available for the Groovy language with the `io.vertx.groovy.ext.unit.junit.VertxUnitRunner` runner.

### Running a test on a Vert.x context

By default the thread invoking the test methods is the JUnit thread. The `RunTestOnContext` JUnit rule can be used to alter this behavior for running these test methods with a Vert.x event loop thread.

Thus there must be some care when state is shared between test methods and Vert.x handlers as they won’t be on the same thread, e.g incrementing a counter in a Vert.x handler and asserting the counter in the test method. One way to solve this is to use proper synchronization, another is to execute test methods on a Vert.x context that will be propagated to the created handlers.

For this purpose the `RunTestOnContext` rule needs a `Vertx` instance. Such instance can be provided, otherwise the rule will manage an instance under the hood. Such instance can be retrieved when the test is running, making this rule a way to manage a `Vertx` instance as well.

Run a Java class as a JUnit test suite

    @RunWith(VertxUnitRunner.class)
    public class RunOnContextJUnitTestSuite {

      @Rule
      public RunTestOnContext rule = new RunTestOnContext();

      @Test
      public void testSomething(TestContext context) {
        // Use the underlying vertx instance
        Vertx vertx = rule.vertx();
      }
    }

The rule can be annotated by {@literal @Rule} or {@literal @ClassRule}, the former manages a Vert.x instance per test, the later a single Vert.x for the test methods of the class.

Warning | keep in mind that you cannot block the event loop when using this rule. Usage of classes like `CountDownLatch` or similar classes must be done with care.

### Timeout

The Vert.x Unit 2 minutes timeout can be overriden with the `timeout` member of the `@Test` annotation:

Configure the timeout at the test level

    public class JunitTestWithTimeout {

      @Test(timeout = 1000l)
      public void testSomething(TestContext context) {
        //...
      }

    }

For a more global configuration, the `Timeout` rule can be used:

Configure the timeout at the class level

    @RunWith(VertxUnitRunner.class)
    public class TimeoutTestSuite {

      @Rule
      public Timeout rule = Timeout.seconds(1);

      @Test
      public void testSomething(TestContext context) {
        //...
      }
    }

Note | the `@Test` timeout overrides the the `Timeout` rule.

### Parameterized tests

JUnit provides useful `Parameterized` tests, Vert.x Unit tests can be ran with this particular runner thanks to the `VertxUnitRunnerWithParametersFactory`:

Running a Vert.x Unit parameterized test

    @RunWith(Parameterized.class)
    @Parameterized.UseParametersRunnerFactory(VertxUnitRunnerWithParametersFactory.class)
    public class SimpleParameterizedTest {

      @Parameterized.Parameters
      public static Iterable<Integer> data() {
        return Arrays.asList(0, 1, 2);
      }

      public SimpleParameterizedTest(int value) {
        //...
      }

      @Test
      public void testSomething(TestContext context) {
        // Execute test with the current value
      }
    }

Parameterized tests can also be done in Groovy with the `io.vertx.groovy.ext.unit.junit.VertxUnitRunnerWithParametersFactory`.

### Repeating a test

When a test fails randomly or not often, for instance a race condition, it is convenient to run the same test multiple times to increase the likelihood failure of the test.

With JUnit a test has to be annotated with `@Repeat` to be repeated. The test must also define the `RepeatRule` among its rules.

Repeating a test with JUnit

    @RunWith(VertxUnitRunner.class)
    public class RepeatingTest {

      @Rule
      public RepeatRule rule = new RepeatRule();

      @Repeat(1000)
      @Test
      public void testSomething(TestContext context) {
        // This will be executed 1000 times
      }
    }

When declared, before and after life cycle will be executed as many times as the test is executed.

Note | test repetition are executed sequentially

### Using with other assertion libraries

Vert.x Unit usability has been greatly improved in Vert.x 3.3. You can now write tests using Hamcrest, AssertJ, Rest Assured, or any assertion library you want. This is made possible by the global exception handler described in Vertx integration.

You can find Java examples of using Vert.x Unit with Hamcrest and AssertJ in the vertx-examples project.

## Java language integration

### Test suite integration

The Java language provides classes and it is possible to create test suites directly from Java classes with the following mapping rules:

The `testSuiteObject` argument methods are inspected and the public, non static methods with `TestContext` parameter are retained and mapped to a Vertx Unit test suite via the method name:

- `before` : before callback

- `after` : after callback

- `beforeEach` : beforeEach callback

- `afterEach` : afterEach callback

- when the name starts with test : test case callback named after the method name

Test suite written using a Java class

    public class MyTestSuite {

      public void testSomething(TestContext context) {
        context.assertFalse(false);
      }
    }

This class can be turned into a Vertx test suite easily:

Create a test suite from a Java object

    TestSuite suite = TestSuite.create(new MyTestSuite());
