Ant for Junit Test cases using annotation.

[Meghana Phatak]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to run my Test case class using junit task. The class runs very well from command line or eclipse.
However I get an error while I try to run using junit task.
The error is as follows :
TestClass has no public constructor TestCase(String name) or TestCase()
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: TestClass has no public constructor TestCase(String name) or TestCase().

MyClass uses annotation @Test insteadi of inheriting from TestCase.

Can anyone help me?

Hi Meghana and welcome to Javaranch!

It sounds like you've got a JUnit version clash, are you setting the JUnit task to run as JUnit 4?

Hello Martijn,

I did not explicitly set the task to run as Junit 4. However I do have junit 4 jar kept in the classpath of ant. Do we have to modify any settings to run junit 4 tasks?

Ant 1.6.5 doesn't provide native support for JUnit 4, see this article for some workarounds.

Hey Martijn,

I upgraded my ant to 1.7 and now it is working. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help.
