Enum Lifespan

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Lifespan>

    @API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
         since="1.2.4")
    public enum Lifespan
    extends java.lang.Enum<Lifespan>
    Define how long a resource, e.g. the value in a Store with the same identifier, will live:
    • For the whole test run
    • For the currently running property
    • For the currently running try
    Any hook or collection of hooks can use this enum to allow the specification of the lifespan of resources from which it is abstracting.

        public static Lifespan[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (Lifespan c : Lifespan.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static Lifespan valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
