junit4 - JUnit behaviour with static final variable of usual Java class -

assuming, want use predefined static final list instance(s) holder of "configuration" test. list, use static {} block values added instances:

public class config{         ... public static final list<object[]> config = new arraylist<>(); static{ //object[] pairs her`e config.add(new object[] { ... whatever}); config.add(new object[] { ... whatever}); config.add(new object[] { ... whatever}); } } ... //then test class: @runwith(parameterized.class) public class generaltemplate{  ...      @parameters(name = "{index}: source: {0} target: {1}")     public static collection<object[]> config() {         return config.config;     } } 

i use instances in junit test class. guess, because of definitions + annotations test runs mistake "no tests have been found"?

i think @test annotation missing templates. compiler complaining "no tests have been found" in not able find test methods junit 4 @test annotation in test class defination.
