## [Java] Class GroovyRunnerRegistry

- org.apache.groovy.plugin.GroovyRunnerRegistry

- All Implemented Interfaces and Traits:
    Map, Iterable

      public class GroovyRunnerRegistry
      extends Object

  Registry of services that implement the GroovyRunner interface.

  This registry makes use of the ServiceLoader facility. The preferred method for registering new GroovyRunner providers is to place them in a provider-configuration file in the resource directory `META-INF/services`. The preferred method for accessing the registered runners is by making use of the `Iterable` interface using an enhanced for-loop.

  For compatibility with previous versions, this registry implements the Map interface. All `null` keys and values will be ignored and no exception thrown, except where noted.

  By default the registry contains runners that are capable of running `JUnit 3` and `JUnit 4` test classes if those libraries are available to the class loader.

  Since:
    2.5.0

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public void clear()

      Clears all registered runners from the registry and resets the registry so that it contains only the default set of runners.

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public boolean containsKey(Object key)

      Returns `true` if a runner was registered with the specified key.

      Parameters:
        `key` - for the registered runner
      Returns:
        `true` if a runner was registered with given key

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public boolean containsValue(Object runner)

      Returns `true` if registry contains the given runner instance.

      Parameters:
        `runner` - instance of a GroovyRunner
      Returns:
        `true` if the given runner is registered

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public Set<Entry<String, GroovyRunner>> entrySet()

      Returns a set of entries for registered runners. This is a snapshot of the registry and any subsequent registry changes will not be reflected in the set.

      Returns:
        an unmodifiable set of registered runner entries

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public GroovyRunner get(Object key)

      Returns the registered runner for the specified key.

      Parameters:
        `key` - used to lookup the runner
      Returns:
        the runner registered with the given key

    - #### public static GroovyRunnerRegistry getInstance()

      Returns a reference to the one and only registry instance.

      Returns:
        registry instance

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public boolean isEmpty()

      Returns `true` if the registry contains no runners, else `false`.

      Returns:
        `true` if no runners are registered

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public Iterator<GroovyRunner> iterator()

      Returns an iterator for all runners that are registered. The returned iterator is a snapshot of the registry at the time the iterator is created. This iterator does not support removal.

      Returns:
        iterator for all registered runners

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public Set<String> keySet()

      Set of all keys associated with registered runners. This is a snapshot of the registry and any subsequent registry changes will not be reflected in the set.

      Returns:
        an unmodifiable set of keys for registered runners

    - #### public void load(ClassLoader classLoader)

      Loads GroovyRunner instances using the ServiceLoader facility.

      Parameters:
        `classLoader` - used to locate provider-configuration files and classes

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public GroovyRunner put(String key, GroovyRunner runner)

      Registers a runner with the specified key.

      Parameters:
        `key` - to associate with the runner
        `runner` - the runner to register
      Returns:
        the previously registered runner for the given key, if no runner was previously registered for the key then `null`

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprOverride public void putAll(Map<? extends String, ? extends GroovyRunner> m)
