Why is my test not running [closed]

Answer 1

I see that you are using Eclipse, but are you also using some other external build/test tool like Ant or Maven? Sometimes Eclipse can get out of sync when also using other external tools.

If you are using external tools, do whatever is necessary to clean up generated artifacts (e.g. mvn clean). Then refresh the Eclipse project and do a clean build as suggested previously. Then try running your unit test again using Eclipse.

Good luck and hope this helps.

Answer 2

If you use maven to build your project then it puts all compiled java classes in folder like target/classes and Test classes under target/test-classes. So I guess eclipse won't able to find classes from target/test-classes. If you want to run JUnit classes from Eclipse, use Eclipse->Project->clean and then you will have all classes under same target configured in eclipse.

Answer 3

JVM is not able to find the class test. is the class name correct. I mean is it not com.example.Test?

Answer 4

Check run config of the JUnit test. In the classpath tab, resotre default entries once in case that is not the case already. In project properties check if both junit package and classes source folder is in the source package and there is an actual class compilation existring for the class under test in your expected target folder.

Answer 5

I had similar issue and problem was because of broken build paths to external libraries (e.g. Selenium server). So first of all please open Build path (right click project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path) and verify that all external libraries can be loaded successfully (there are messages like 'cannot load'). Most likely a library was renamed/moved while optimization or adding external tools like Ant. Hope this helps and it will save your time goggling around :)
