Running a single JUnit test in Eclipse

Question

If I have a test suite with multiple tests, when I try to run a single unit test, either from the context menu of the code editor, or from the JUnit view, it seems to insist

Answer 1

I had the same problem others have had using Eclipse 3.4.1 and JUnit 4 test runner -- couldn't run single test. But I found a suggestion somewhere else that resolved the problem. My test class was still extending junit.framework.TestCase. When I stopped extending TestCase, everything worked fine and I was able to run single JUnit tests with the JUnit 4 test runner. Of course, I needed to JUnit 4 annotations use static imports for the assert methods, but I had already done that -- I had just not removed the TestCase inheritance.
