Junit testing with using Ant build.xml getting failed everything?

[Prabhat Ranjan]

Hi All,

I am using junit test cases and building the project using ant build but i tried a lot its getting failed. don't know why ?

I have reset the classpth and junit lib as well but its again not working anyways.

Build.xml file is below:

<project name="test" default="dist" basedir=".">  
    <description>  
        simple example build file  
    </description>  
  <!-- set global properties for this build -->  
  <property name="src" location="src"/>  
  <property name="build" location="build"/>  
  <property name="dist"  location="dist"/>  
	
	
<path id="test.classpath">    
   <fileset dir="C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.5.0/lib">    
    <include name="junit*.jar" />    
   </fileset>    
   <pathelement path="${java.class.path}" />   
 </path>    


  <target name="init">  
    <!-- Create the time stamp -->  
    <tstamp/>  
    <!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile -->  
    <mkdir dir="${build}"/>  
  </target>  
  
  <target name="compile" depends="init"  
        description="compile the source " >  
    <!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${build} -->  
    <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/>  
  </target>  
  
  <target name="dist" depends="compile"  
        description="generate the distribution" >  
    <!-- Create the distribution directory -->  
    <mkdir dir="${dist}/lib"/>  
  	
  
    <!-- Put everything in ${build} into the MyProject-${DSTAMP}.jar file -->  
    <jar jarfile="${dist}/lib/test-${DSTAMP}.jar" basedir="${build}"/>  
  </target>  
  
  <target name="clean"  
        description="clean up" >  
    <!-- Delete the ${build} and ${dist} directory trees -->  
    <delete dir="${build}"/>  
    <delete dir="${dist}"/>  
  </target>  
</project>  

Below is the error i am getting in build console":

Buildfile: C:\Users\Prabhat\workspace\testLog4j\myBuild.xml
init:

    [javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\Users\Prabhat\workspace\testLog4j\build

    [javac] import junit.framework.TestCase;

    [javac] 2 errors

BUILD FAILED
C:\Users\Prabhat\workspace\testLog4j\myBuild.xml:29: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Total time: 1 second

I have already put the junit-3.8.2.jar file in java/lib dir.


I have used very simple jubit code top test uisng Ant build. As below .and if i remove the junit file or junit code from ant build my build.xml file runs successfully without any issue.

import junit.framework.TestCase;


 class myJunit extends TestCase
 {
	 myJunit () 
	{
		super ();
	}
	
	public void testSimpleTest(int a) {
	      int answer = a;
	  //    assertEquals((1+1), answer); 
	      
	}
	
	public static void main(String args[]){
		
		myJunit mine = new myJunit();
	mine.testSimpleTest(2);
		
	}
	
	
}

Still its not picking and some other issue i don't know. Tried to look in google but not found the proper root cause and how to fix this issue.

Please suggest some one your thought.

Issus is resolved now..
I have tried to serach form internet and the actual probelm was classpath junit.jar file name was missing in javac/compile target.

I got the solution.

Below code is working fine now and perfect.

<project name="test" default="dist" basedir=".">     
    <description>     
        simple example build file     
    </description>     
  <!-- set global properties for this build -->     
  <property name="src" location="src"/>     
  <property name="build" location="build"/>     
  <property name="dist"  location="dist"/>     
   
	<path id="build.classpath">
	    <fileset dir="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_21\lib">
	      <include name="**/*.jar" />
	    </fileset>
	  </path>

	<target name="init">     
    <!-- Create the time stamp -->     
    <tstamp/>     
    <!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile -->     
    <mkdir dir="${build}"/>     
  </target>     
     
  <target name="compile" depends="init"     
        description="compile the source " >     
    <!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${build} -->     
    <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}" classpathref="build.classpath"/>     
  </target>     
     
  <target name="dist" depends="compile"     
        description="generate the distribution" >     
    <!-- Create the distribution directory -->     
    <mkdir dir="${dist}/lib"/>     
    <!-- Put everything in ${build} into the MyProject-${DSTAMP}.jar file -->     
    <jar jarfile="${dist}/lib/test-${DSTAMP}.jar" basedir="${build}"/>     
  </target>     
     
  <target name="clean"     
        description="clean up" >     
    <!-- Delete the ${build} and ${dist} directory trees -->     
    <delete dir="${build}"/>     
    <delete dir="${dist}"/>     
  </target>     
</project>
