Is there a way to have a

beforeTest

in an init block in a base class? I need to drop and create the database contents before each test in the spec's base class so I don't have to do that in each spec... but I'm getting the warning:

Calling non-final function beforeTest in constructor

...? Should I just ignore that?

I would create an extension instead, and register it wherever you mean to use the base class

The base class has other things there...

Overriding the function is not a nice option for you?

I tried overriding the function, i dont think it worked from the base class... and test factories dont work well with the intellij plugin (at least last time i tried them...)
