Running “pure” JUnit 4 tests using ant

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.

Answer 1

This happened to me and it was because I was both using annotations and extending TestCase.

public class TestXXX extends TestCase {

    @Test
    public void testSimpleValidCase() {
        // this was running
    }

    @Test
    public void simpleValidCase() {
        // this wasn't running
    }
}

When you extend TestCase you are assuming JUnit3 style so JUnit4 annotations are ignored.

The solution is to stop extending TestCase.
