Conditional annotations beyond test method/class

[lubomsky]

I use JUnit as a runner for tests written in playwright.
For debugging purposes I want to do something only when some condition is met, for example some property is true.

Naturally I went with:

@BeforeAll
@EnabledIf("someCondition")
fun `do something once`() {
 // some setup
}


@BeforeEach
@EnabledIf("someCondition")
fun `do something every time`() {
 // something to do
}

private fun someCondition() = true

but this is not working - as expected after reading the javadoc.

Is it possible to add such a functionality?
Or maybe there is a different way to handle that?

What would be the benefit of doing this rather can using a regular if statement?

@BeforeAll
fun `do something once`() {
  if (someCondition()) {
    // some setup
  }
}


@BeforeEach
fun `do something every time`() {
  if (someCondition()) {
    // something to do
  }
}

private fun someCondition() = true
