package junit.framework does not exist

[Stephen Spiteri]

Hi, Im new to junit and javaranch actually, could anyone help me out??

Ive tried installing junit by unzipping it to c:\junit3.8.1\ and set the environment

set classpath=%classpath%;C:\junit3.8.1\junit.jar

(which to the best of my knowledge is right... but when trying to compile a java file i get:

C:\Antbook\ch06\test>javac org\example\antbook\junit\SimpleTest.java
org\example\antbook\junit\SimpleTest.java:3: package junit.framework does not exist
import junit.framework.TestCase;
^
org\example\antbook\junit\SimpleTest.java:5: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class TestCase
location: class org.example.antbook.junit.SimpleTest
public class SimpleTest extends TestCase
^
org\example\antbook\junit\SimpleTest.java:13: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method assertTrue (boolean)
location: class org.example.antbook.junit.SimpleTest
assertTrue(4 == (2 * 2));
^
3 errors

What have i done wrong??

Thanks

How are you compiling your code? Are you using some sort of a batch script? If you are, could you post it for us to see?

im just doing javac to compile it,

the code for the java file is:

package org.example.antbook.junit;
 
import junit.framework.TestCase;
 
public class SimpleTest extends TestCase
{
    
    public SimpleTest (String name) {
        super(name);
    }
    
    public void testSomething() {
        assertTrue(4 == (2 * 2));
    }
}

Its the import bit that goes wrong, so i have a feeling its the installation of junit thats the problem.

Does it compile if you do this?
javac -classpath %CLASSPATH%;C:\junit3.8.1\junit.jar org\example\antbook\junit\SimpleTest.java
