NB Platform Test Infrastructure Tutorial - problem with jUnit

[Mvek]

Hi, I have tried to find the solution here, but any topics concerning jUnit, did not help me. I have NetBeans IDE 7.0.1 and JDK 1.7.

I was trying to do NB Platform Test Infrastructure Tutorial from here http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-test.html, but I had to stop on 3rd point. The button Resolve is disabled.

I have tried to check all the needed modules, but IDE can't find the jUnit.
I also tried on NB module on some class file choose Tools->Create JUnit test, but it leads to the similar problem, the tests seem to have incorrect imports.

But I successfully did the tutorial JUnit intro on Java app (http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/junit-intro.html). The difference is that this is Java app, not the NetBeans app and module.

So, how could I make and run JUnit tests for my NetBeans platform application?

(I am beginner into NetBeans, but I quickly read through The Definitive Guide and some tutorials)

EDIT: I found a halfway solution, I added the JUnit jar file in module properties as Wrapped JARs. This way, I can run the tests and have no red flafs in Project explorer, but I get some warnings at compiling (like that it cannot distinguish the annotations etc.). I will see if it is ok for now and I can programm my app now ignoring these warnings, or not.

Hi Mvek
I encountered the same problem - my conclusion is that JUnit module is not installed automaticaly. I've installed it manually (at my work we have several NB 7.0.1 installations and I just copied required files to my instalation and restart NB)

These files are
${install.dir}\platform\modules\org-netbeans-libs-junit4.jar
${install.dir}\platform\modules\ext\junit-4.8.2.jar

I've attached them.

After all you should see JUnit in your suite library tab


To completely solve the problem
in your suite's project.xml the following lines must appear


NB adds them automatically when you creates a new JUnit test

Hope this help!
Regards, Vladimir

Thank you very much for help. It seems working. I have been for a while away, so I got back to the programming this week.

(Now I have bigger issue - find out, how to test Groovy classes)

in 7.1 there's no package JUnit in Platform module. I did a fresh install of Netbeans 7.1 (after deleting ~/.netbeans folder), I installed JUnit from the installer. After first startup netbeans was downloading JUnit package again and wrote that installation was sucessfull. However when I checked plugins and JUnit 1.1 was not installed. So, I installed it. In Netbeans Platform project I've added NB JUnit from harness module. It gives me this error message:

No help here, but I'm seeing the same thing after migrating to NB 7.1.1 (from 7.0).

I don't know, if new installation (different directory, but without uninstalling older) could take even those steps that were suggested above from my old installation (I agreed to import settings from previous found version). But the JUnit seems working fine now.

But I read in the Definitive Guide to NB Platform 7.1 that you have to install NetBeans (well specifically the JUnit) into folder, where it has write rights. Which is not the Progam Files in Windows 7.
I did it, I installed it to created C:\Programs and then tried. Maybe it helps.
