How to run @BeforeClass method before each @Test

When I run my @Tests manualy, one by one - everything is fine. But when I run them all together - I`ve got an error. So how can I run @BeforeClass before each @Test. I cant use @Before becorse in my @BeforeClass I do some work in testing class constructor.

Testing class constructor:

public HttpUtils() {
    this.httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault();
}

Before class:

@BeforeClass
public static void init() throws IOException {
    mockStatic(HttpClients.class);
    final CloseableHttpClient closeableHttpClient = createMock(CloseableHttpClient.class);
    when(HttpClients.createDefault()).thenReturn(closeableHttpClient);
}

If I run all test. On second test Ive got HttpClient not like mock, but like real object, and lately have error coz of it.

If you want to execute any method before each test class you should go for @Before annotation. By using @BeforeClass annotation you only call that method once in the test class.

Use @Before instead of @BeforeClass to execute before every test

@Before
public static void init() throws IOException {

with @Before causes that method to be run before the Test method. The @Before methods of superclasses will be run before those of the current class.
