I've figured out one solution that works for me. I don't know if it's the "right" solution, but here's what I did:
1. Download and install Ant from http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/bindownload.cgi 2. Add ANT_HOME env var 3. Copy the %XINDICE_HOME%\java\lib\junit* %ANT_HOME%\lib 4. cd %XINDICE_HOME% ; build 5. ant test-unit That made the tests run for me. I'm sure something is wrong since I can use the build.bat to compile the sources, but I must use ant directly to run the tests. Whenever I use build.bat to run the tests, it fails with the error message below. dave -----Original Message----- From: Dave Viner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 11:16 AM To: Xindice-Dev Subject: running tests Since I am a JUnit newbie, I have a few questions about running the tests. When I run: >build test-unit I get this error message: " BUILD FAILED file:D:/xindice/current/xml-xindice/build.xml:226: Could not create task or type of type: junit. Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon. This is common and has a number of causes; the usual solutions are to read the manual pages then download and install needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'junit'. Fix: check your spelling. - The task needs an external JAR file to execute and this is not found at the right place in the classpath. Fix: check the documentation for dependencies. Fix: declare the task. - The task is an Ant optional task and optional.jar is absent Fix: look for optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib, download if needed - The task was not built into optional.jar as dependent libraries were not found at build time. Fix: look in the JAR to verify, then rebuild with the needed libraries, or download a release version from apache.org - The build file was written for a later version of Ant Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant - The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using <taskdef>. Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the classpath Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored, as this is not an Ant bug. " But I have java\lib\junit-3.8.1.jar and junit-addons, and junitperf. Is 'test-unit' the wrong build target? thanks dave
