TestExecutionListener is not listening at all

I have custom TestExecutionListener:

public class CustomExecutionListener extends AbstractTestExecutionListener {
    @Override
    public void beforeTestMethod(TestContext testContext) throws Exception { 
        // some code ...
    }

    @Override
    public void afterTestMethod(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
        // some code ...
    }
}

In my test class I configure it as follows:

@TestExecutionListeners({
    DirtiesContextTestExecutionListener.class,
    DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class,
    CustomExecutionListener.class
})
class MyTestClass {

    private static ApplicationContext appContext;

    @BeforeAll
    static void init() {
        appContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        // register some configs for context here
    }

    @Test
    void test() {
    }
}

And CustomExecutionListener doesn't work - in debugger I even don't go there. I suppose that may be problem in the way I create ApplicationContext: may be TestContext encapsulates not my appContext? (I don't properly understand how TestContext is creating. May be someone could explain?) But even then it should at least go to the beforeTestMethod in lestener? Or not?

And second question: if it really encapsulates not my appContext how I can fix that? I. e. set my appContext to testContext.getApplicationContext()? I need to be able to extract beans from my appContext like testContext.getApplicationContext().getBean(...).

For starters, the TestExecutionListener is only supported if you are using the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF).

Since you are using JUnit Jupiter (a.k.a., JUnit 5), you need to annotate your test class with @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class) or alternatively with @SpringJUnitConfig or @SpringJUnitWebConfig.

Also, you should not create your ApplicationContext programmatically. Rather, you let the TCF do that for you -- for example, by specifying declaratively which configuration classes to use via @ContextConfiguration, @SpringJUnitConfig, or @SpringJUnitWebConfig.

In general, I recommend you read the Testing chapter of the Spring Reference Manual, and if that doesn't help enough you can certainly find tutorials for "integration testing with Spring" online.

Did you try @Before which is not required static methods??

private static ApplicationContext appContext;

@Before
public void init() {
    if(appContext == null) {
        appContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        // register some configs for context here
     }
}
