I think I was clear that assumptions are not silent; here's an example of
assumptions from Ant build log
Testsuite: org.apache.tools.ant.util.JavaEnvUtilsTest
Tests run: 6, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 3, Time elapsed: 0,01 sec
Testcase:
java10IsDetectedProperly(org.apache.tools.ant.util.JavaEnvUtilsTest):SKIPPED:
got: <false>, expected: is <true>
Testcase:
testGetExecutableWindows(org.apache.tools.ant.util.JavaEnvUtilsTest):SKIPPED:
Test only runs on windows
Testcase:
testGetExecutableNetware(org.apache.tools.ant.util.JavaEnvUtilsTest):SKIPPED:
Test only runs on netware
The first SKIPPED line is emitted by a messageless assumption
assumeTrue("10".equals(System.getProperty("java.specification.version")));
Now, I don't see a point why a system property "ant.home" should be treated
differently from a system property "java.specification.version". An
assumption should inform you that the test won't run unless the property is
set, and that's what you wanted: a notification that you can (and must) do
something to run the test.
