[FIXED] Junit Testwatcher skipped/ignored test

Issue

I created a TestWatcher which should do something when a TestCase fails, succeededor is skipped.

The Methods succeededand failed are fired, but neither

@Override
protected void skipped(AssumptionViolatedException e, Description description) {
    System.out.println("Skipped: " + description);
    e.printStackTrace();
}

nor

@Override
protected void skipped(org.junit.internal.AssumptionViolatedException e, Description description)
{
    System.out.println("Skippedinternal: " + description);
    e.printStackTrace();
}

are fired.

Why aren't those two called when a testis ignored or is this the wrong way to react to an ignored test and if that's the case how can i accomplish that?

Solution

The skipped event in TestWatcher (http://junit.org/junit4/javadoc/4.12/org/junit/rules/TestWatcher.html) is triggered only in case the test is skipped due to failed assumption (http://junit.sourceforge.net/javadoc/org/junit/Assume.html).
