Junit and ant

[pradeep selvaraj]

I want to integrate JUnit into my ant. This is my dir structure.

home
-src (all my source files)
-lib (contains junit and other jar files)
-test (all my test files)
-dist (where all the class files are placed by ant)

This is what i had done, but i get a big error saying that it cannot recognise <Junit> tag itself(i think it has something to do with classpath).

 
        <property name="src" value="${basedir}/src"/>
<property name="dist" value="${basedir}/dist"/>
<property name="lib" value="${basedir}/lib"/>
<property name="test" value="${basedir}/test"/>
 
<path id="classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib}">
    <include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<pathelement location="${dist}"/>
</path> 
 
        <target name="test" depends="compile" description="Runs all JUnit tests.">
<echo>Unit testing with JUnit</echo>
<mkdir dir="${docs}/test-report"/>
<junit printsummary="yes" fork="yes" haltonfailure="no"  showoutput="yes" dir="${dist}">
    <formatter type = "plain" usefile = "true"/>
<classpath refid="classpath" />
<batchtest fork = "yes">
<fileset dir = "${dist}">
<include name = "**/*Suite.class"/>
</fileset>
</batchtest>
</junit>
<echo>JUnit test report generated to docs/test-reports/JUnitReport.txt</echo>
</target>

I am not sure where i go wrong. Please help.

thanks
serish

If 'junit' is not known it sounds like you need to downloas and install (ie drop in the ant/lib dir) the optional junit tasks. I'm not exactly sure, but it should be included in the downloads from www.junit.org
