Invalid @DirtiesContext 'mode' configuration
Reports incorrect 'mode' configuration in the @DirtiesContext annotation.
Example:
@ContextConfiguration
@DirtiesContext(methodMode = MethodMode.AFTER_METHOD, // Setting the method mode on an annotated test class has no meaning. For class-level control, use classMode instead.
hierarchyMode = DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode.CURRENT_LEVEL) // hierarchyMode should be used when the context is configured as part of a hierarchy via @ContextHierarchy
public class MyTest {
@DirtiesContext(classMode = DirtiesContext.ClassMode.AFTER_CLASS, // Setting the class mode on an annotated test method has no meaning. For method-level control use methodMode instead..
hierarchyMode = DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode.CURRENT_LEVEL) // hierarchyMode should be used when the context is configured as part of a hierarchy via @ContextHierarchy
public void testFoo() {...}
}
