Ant + JUnit integration problem

[jeff wisgo]

I am able to run JUnit tests through a simple batch file as below:

z:
cd \ED\Rov\WEB-INF\classes
java -classpath /ED/Rov/WEB-INF/classes;/ED/Rov/WEB-INF/lib/junit.jar;
/ED/Rov/WEB-INF/lib/DDConnectionBroker.jar;
/ED/Rov/WEB-INF/lib/postgresql.jar rov/test/AllTest

However, when I have the following block in my ANT build.xml file, I get a strange error:

<target depends="init" description="Run All unit tests" name = "unittest">
       <junit printsummary="withOutAndErr" fork="yes" haltonfailure="no" showoutput="yes">
 
         <classpath>
            <pathelement location="WEB-INF/classes"/>
            <pathelement location="WEB-INF/lib/comm.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="WEB-INF/lib/junit.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="WEB-INF/lib/pgjdbc2.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="WEB-INF/lib/postgresql.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="WEB-INF/lib/servlet.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar"/>
            <pathelement location="WEB-INF/lib/xmlParserAPIs.jar"/>
</classpath>         

        <formatter type="plain" usefile="false"/>
 
         <test name="rov.test.AllTest">  
 
       </junit>
    </target>

The error is:

Testsuite: rov.test.AllTest
Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 0 sec

Caused an ERROR
Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTestRunner can not access a member of class rov.test.AllTest with modifiers "public static" at sun.reflect.Reflection.ensureMemberAccess(Reflection.java:57)

I can't figure out whats wrong with my ANT file, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

you should be fixed in line of

public static type someVariable ; to

public type someVariable




And for more information to solve this problem, please post your code.

Notice that the junit task doesn't run the main method of your class, but is searching for a suite method instead, as far as I know.

Here is my code:

 

package roverlook.test;
 
import rov.*;
 
import junit.framework.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
 

class AllTest {
  
  public static void main (String[] args) {
    junit.textui.TestRunner.run (suite());
  }
  
  public static Test suite ( ) {
    TestSuite suite = new TestSuite("All JUnit Tests");
       
    suite.addTest(DBConnectionFactoryTest.suite());
    suite.addTest(DBQueryTest.suite());    
 
    return suite;
  }
  
}

Try making your AllTests class extend junit.framework.TestCase

[Ilja Preuss]

Try making your AllTests class public! The TestRunner is in a different package, after all. (No need to extend TestCase, I'd suspect.)

[jeff wisgo]

The problem was I needed to add public to the class declaration.

public Class AllTest {
