Does JUnit 3 have something analogous to @Ignore

I'm forced to use JUnit 3. If I were using JUnit 4, I would occasionally use @Ignore since several of my tests take a bit of time.

Is there anything analogous in JUnit 4? Commenting out tests is sloppy, and changing the name (from testXxx()) could lead to forgotten tests. @Ignore is great, because it always reminds you which tests were not run.

Does anyone have a best practice for running some of a test classes methods in JUnit 3?

In order to conditionally ignore tests in Robotium / JUnit 3, I override runTest() like

@Override
protected void runTest() throws Throwable {
    // Do nothing if the precondition does not hold.
    if (precondition) {
        super.runTest();
    }
}

Tests which are ignored this way will show up as "Success" in Eclipse, but as there is no "Ignored" state with JUnit 3, this is the best I was able to get.

you can prepend the method with failing, so all methods like failingtest***() will be ignored during the junit run.

I don't know any other solution apart from commenting out tests or renaming them. I would go for the renaming option and use my own convention. For example all of them will start with ignoreXXX(). Then you can do one find/replace with your editor and you are ready.
