Some problems with testing with JUnit

[shreehari Gopalakrishnan]

I am new to JUnit
I have unzipped the JUnit files to D:\junit3.8.1 and my junit.jar is in that location

There are mainly 2 problems
Problem 1
**********

I have set the class path correctly to D:\junit3.8.1\JUnit.jar

But when i am compiling

java junit.jar junit.swingui.TestRunner [File]
It is showing No Class Def Found error

When i compile like this it is working

java -cp junit.jar junit.swingui.TestRunner [File]

why like this ?

Problem 2
*********

When i complile my Test case file

import junit.framework.TestCase;
public class TestMyProg extends TestCase
{
public void testmyFunction()
{
MyProg mp = new MyProg();
int actual = mp.myFunc();
int exp = 2;
assertEquals("mp.myFunc()",exp,actual);
}
}

It is showing errors

TestMyProg.java:1: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class TestCase
location: package framework
import junit.framework.TestCase;
^
TestMyProg.java:2: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class TestCase
location: class TestMyProg
public class TestMyProg extends TestCase
^
TestMyProg.java:9: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method assertEquals (java.lang.String,int,int)
location: class TestMyProg
assertEquals("mp.myFunc()",exp,actual);
^

Why is like that what i have to do ? an early reply prefered

Thanks in advance

That's not how you compile Java classes. java is the command you execute Java code, javac is the command with which you compile Java code.

All of these compilation errors are due to the compiler not finding junit.jar from your classpath. Could you post the command with which you're compiling?

Since this is not a JUnit problem per se but a general Java question, I'm moving this topic over to the "Java in General" forum. Please continue the discussion over there.

Sorry Lasse
What i meant was Running not compiling for the first problem

For compiling i have given Javac File name

so i got these errors can i please suggest?

javac is not finding the junit.jar.
Are you compiling in windows env? If so in your dos window type

echo %classpath%

Does it show the classpath that you have set (including junit.jar)?

If you are on unix platform, type

set grep |CLASSPATH

or

echo $CLASSPATH

If all else fails, compile the testcase using the -cp argument (-cp d:/...).
