Re: Can't create test for class
I also had strange problems with JUnit in Netbeans.I figured out t/ following…There seem to be multiple JUnit versions. In Netbeans I think you can choose between JUnit 3 and Junit 4 (or Junit 4 and Junit 5 I cant remember exactly). The older one, version Junit 3 has got very long and strange packages. The newer one, version Junit 4, relies on the org.junit package as far as I can remember.I think you can not mix them.Go to your Maven project, dependencies, remove the (most probably wrong) dependencies. Then rename your test folder in test-tmp. Compile your project without test. This is very important. Then add JUnit dependencies to your pom (i take the new ones, JUnit 4 using org.junit package). Rename test-tmp back to test. Add imports to your test cases. Compile again.And dont mix the packages.This is how I solved this problem. From now on I only use org.junit package.Hope that helps.

In this case then each test has to be manually added as desired. Using the Netbeans...Tools..Create/Update Tests on the project for the class creating placeholder tests to provide a wealth of test coverage. This method tends to generate a lot of test coverage (most with "fails" initially to force review and updates of each test to make sure it's written for the true need of the unit test case.)

Can't create test for class
I have maven javafx project. Java 17, NB 15. It's also a modular application with a module-info. I try to create a test for a class, and all I get is an empty class. It has the JUnit imports, but no test methods. Just an empty class with an empty constructor. None of the methods. Also, I can't seem to add any of my classes to the generated class. Auto complete doesn't see any of the classes, and when I compile the test, it also complains it can not find the classes. Yet, I created a simple JavaFX project, added a test to that, and it worked fine. I took my pom.xml from my project, and replaced the one from the simple project with it, and everything worked fine. So, I don't know what else I could check to see why the testing does not work for my project, but works for another with an identical pom file (barring the project name). Thanks.
