Question

We have migrated to both JUnit 4 and ant 1.7

The tests runs fine in eclipse, but the annotations are ignored when running the tests using ant.

According to the Ant junit task documentation:

It also works with JUnit 4.0, including ‘pure’ JUnit 4 tests using only annotations and no JUnit4TestAdapter.

But the documentation doesn’t elaborate on how it should be configured.

Is there any special setting required for the junit task? Am I missing something? We have both Tests that extends TestCase (i.e. 3.8 style) and ‘pure’ Junit 4 tests, could that be the problem?

Answer 1

I am using pure JUnit4 tests with Ant.

Here is the interesting part of my build file:

<junit printsummary='yes' haltonfailure='yes'>     <formatter type='xml'/>     <classpath refid='path.test'/>     <batchtest fork='yes' todir='${dir.report.unittests.xml}'>         <fileset dir='src'>             <include name='**/*Test*.java'/>         </fileset>     </batchtest> </junit> 

Make sure you have the latest version of the junit.jar file in the lib directory of Ant. As far as I know the required version is delivered with ant 1.7 or higher versions…
