Inherited tests not supported

[GeraldNDA]

Codelens appears for the abstract test class even though it cannot be run directly (IntelliJ redirects you to the classes that inherit from the abstract class instead ...)

Codelens does not appear on the classes that inherit from the abstract test class

Sidebar only runs tests in abstract class resulting in InstantiationException because it's abstract.

I'm not sure if that would fix the issue for this project because the child class isn't annotated with `@RunWith` or `@Nested` ....

After thinking about this, the Java Test Runner seems to have access to the class tree because it is able to build the explorer tree. It'd be useful to instead mark up this tree with whether or not this class has tests through the tree (and whether or not it can be run if it's abstract). Not sure if this is possible to translate codewise. If you want, I can look deeper in the code w/ some help

Thank you for the suggestion @GeraldNDA.

Yes, since the Test Runner is an extension of the Java Language Server, it has the knowledge of the classes actually. It would be great if you are willing to help. Any contributions are welcome!

Same issue here. A class "B" that inherits tests from class "A" cannot be executed, neither from explorer java projects view, nor from testing view. How are we supposed to run those tests now? Any hint or workaround? In eclipse this wasnt a problem at all.

Btw. our test framework is TestNG.

@benzman81 Thanks for reporting.

There will be some problem for TestNG in such cases. JUnit should be fine.
