Replace SQLRepositoryTestCase with CoreFeature

Usually it's just a matter of adding: @RunWith(FeaturesRunner.class) @Features( { TransactionalFeature.class, CoreFeature.class } ) @RepositoryConfig(cleanup = Granularity.METHOD) And injecting the session: @Inject protected CoreSession session; And getting rid of the setUp/tearDown if they only do standard stuff. If setUp does some deployBundle / deployContrib, you'll have to turn them into @Deploy / @LocalDeploy, like: @Deploy( { "org.nuxeo.runtime.management", "org.nuxeo.ecm.core.management", "org.nuxeo.ecm.core.management.test" } ) @LocalDeploy( { "org.nuxeo.ecm.core.test.tests:test-CoreExtensions.xml", "org.nuxeo.ecm.core.test.tests:test-security-policy-contrib.xml" } ) If you have one test method that needs to do specific deploys, the pattern is: @Inject protected RuntimeHarness harness; @Test public void test() throws Exception { harness.deployContrib("org.nuxeo.ecm.core.test.tests", "test-PostCommitListeners.xml"); ... harness.undeployContrib("org.nuxeo.ecm.core.test.tests", "test-PostCommitListeners.xml"); } Please make sure that you always have TransactionalFeature in your Features, it's how Nuxeo actually runs and non-transactional stuff usually has problems with inter-session visibility.
