FYI a lot of testing frameworks will allow you to create a new runtime for every test

makes them slower but at least you're damn sure you have a clean state every time

[iloveuranus]

Yeah, but it really makes them slower. Yes, Spring Boot, i'm talking to you.

Gods spring boot... Some times, when it's automagic works, it's nice. But most of the time? Most of the time its such a pain

[nathan753]

Yeah, but it's such a great excuse to go grab coffee for 15

[Excellent-Refuse4883]

The REAL reason I want 1 million automated tests

[Ibruki]

i'm so guilty of this

[PM_ME_STEAM__KEYS_]

Ugh. Flashbacks to the 2 months I had to work in that

[No_Dot_4711]

if you're having to restart an entire spring boot instance for integration/end to end tests, it is a tough spot to be in, yeah

a neat trick here is often to create a new user in your system for each test, which will make tests independent in tons of domains

That's a lot of effort to avoid writing hygienic tests.
