How to autowire field in static @BeforeClass?

Question

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public void ITest {
    @Autowired
    private EntityRepository dao;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void init() {
        da         


        

Answer 1

One workaround that I have been using to get this working is to use @Before with a flag to skip it being executed for each testcase

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
public class BaseTest {

@Autowired
private Service1 service1;

@Autowired
private Service2 service2;

private static boolean dataLoaded = false;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {

    if (!dataLoaded) {
        service1.something();
        service2.somethingElse();
        dataLoaded = true;
    }
  }
}
