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

[dave08]

The base class has other things there...

[dave08]

An extension doesn't give me all the utility functions and objects I need for db tests

[LeoColman]

Overriding the function is not a nice option for you?

[LeoColman]

Maybe using test factories and separate them from your hierarchy is an idea

[dave08]

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...)
