Hi, I am trying to use the junit task and am having no luck :( I first got a NoClassDefFoundError on JUnitTestRunnerClass and then a NoClassDefFoundError for the BuildException class.
I have tried the following: 1. Read the FAQ at http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/faq.html#delegating-classloader This is very insightfull and explained (or so I thought) the reasom I was getting the initial NoClassDefFoundError I was getting. This was when I had placed junit.jar AND jakarta-ant-1.3-optional.jar in my ANT_HOME/lib. 2. So I created a taskdef called ccJUnit and created a seperate folder for junit.jar and jakarta-ant-1.3-optional.jar and moved these files there (from ANT_HOME/lib) My script looks like so: <taskdef name="ccJUnit" classname="org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask" > <classpath> <pathelement path="C:\ccic\zSiteInspections\src\external\ant\1.3\optional\jakarta-ant-1.3 -optional.jar;C:\ccic\zSiteInspections\src\external\ant\1.3\optional\junit.j ar" /> </classpath> </taskdef> <target name="junit" > <ccJUnit printsummary="true" fork="yes" haltonfailure="yes"> <formatter type="plain" usefile="false"/> <test name ="com.crowncastle.sdm.common.xml.test.TestDownload"/> <classpath> <pathelement path="${xalanClassPath};${commonClassPath};${log4jClassPath};${weblogicClass Path};${strutsClassPath};C:\ccic\zSiteInspections\src\sdm\build\classes;C:\c cic\zSiteInspections\src\external\ant\1.3\optional\jakarta-ant-1.3-optional. jar;C:\ccic\zSiteInspections\src\external\ant\1.3\optional\junit.jar" /> </classpath> </ccJUnit> </target> Note that I have optional.jar and junit.jar in BOTH the classpath specified by the taskdef AND the one to run my test. Based on the FAQ, this shd have worked. But now my test failed and I got a BuildException (this is quite possibily because of an error in my application). But instead of getting a neat stack trace of my BuildException , I get junit: [ccJUnit] Running com.crowncastle.sdm.common.xml.test.TestDownload [ccJUnit] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException However the BuildException class lives in ant.jar. So the child classloaer SHOULD have found it. Can someone wxplain why BuildException class is not being found, despite ant.jar existing in ANT_HOME/lib 3. So.. getting desperate (and going by a suggestion on this list), I turned fork="no" This resulted in a ClassCastException. junit: [ccJUnit] Running com.crowncastle.sdm.common.xml.test.TestDownload [ccJUnit] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 0 sec [ccJUnit] Testsuite: com.crowncastle.sdm.common.xml.test.TestDownload [ccJUnit] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 0 sec [ccJUnit] [ccJUnit] Caused an ERROR [ccJUnit] junit.framework.TestSuite [ccJUnit] java.lang.ClassCastException: junit.framework.TestSuite [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTestRunner. <init>(JUnitTestRunner.java:178) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask.execut eInVM(JUnitTask.java:387) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask.execut e(JUnitTask.java:283) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask.execut e(JUnitTask.java:263) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:153) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.runTarget(Project.java:898) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:536) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:510) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:421) [ccJUnit] at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:149) [ccJUnit] BUILD FAILED C:\ccic\zSiteInspections\src\sdm\build.xml:322: Test com.crowncastle.sdm.common. xml.test.TestDownload failed 4. So lastly I tried turning the verbose flag on... not much help there. I suspect, I have to leave the fork="yes" attrib on as in point 2 above. I amnot sure why ANT cannot find the BuildExeption tho' Any pointers wil be greatly appreciated.
