JUnit - Test class not found in selected project

[cka]

Hi,
I'm trying to write JUnit test but
I'm having trouble with the following errors:
"Test class not found in selected project" -> when running AClassTest.java
"Usage: TestRunner [-wait] testCaseName, where name is the name of the TestCase class" -> when running AClass.java

I have class AClass.java
and class AClassTest.java
They both are in the same package and there is JUnit library

Here's the code:
AClass.java:

public class AClass {
	working code is in the last post		
}

AClassTest.java:

public class AClassTest extends TestCase {
	working code is in the last post
}

Is this an IDE question or a java programming question or what?
What program outputs the errors?

If java programming, can you show the command line you are using to execute the program and the full text of the errors you get.

I'm not sure if the problem is with IDE or with my coding.
I considered posting it on the eclipse subforum.

I'm using eclipse.

When I run AClass.java I get this in the console: "Usage: TestRunner [-wait] testCaseName, where name is the name of the TestCase class"

When I run AClassTest.java which is JUnit testclass I get this:
[the error shows when I click on warning]



except that there is no other messages

this is where the classes are [if it is of any help]:

That's an IDE problem. Try asking it on a forum for your IDE.

What version of JUnit are you using?

Ah, I see the JUnit3 folder...

	public AClassTest(String name) {
		super("hhjj");
	}

I'm pretty certain you're supposed to pass the "name" into the super constructor...that "name" paarmeter is (I think) a test name (ie the name of one of your test methods) when used by the Test Suite stuff that JUnit runs. So passing "hhjj" in will fail since you don't have a testhhjj() method.

As far as I know from Junit testing but it has been awhile doesn't all methods have to begin with the word.....test???

e.g.

public int testMySum{

}

maybe I am wrong it has been awhile

Might have still been the case with JUnit 3 (in fact I think it was), but with JUnit 4 you use an annotation to identify a method as a test.

@Tolls
"hhjj" is there coz i've been changing it to see if it matters but whatever I put there the result is the same.
So I've had:

public AClassTest(String name) {super(name);}

and as you suggested:

public AClassTest(String name) {super("GetPower");}

public AClassTest(String name) {super("testGetPower");}

@al_Marshy_1981
but my testing method does begin with the word test


I have put the AClass.java in a new project just to see what happens (there is no JUnit, not testing class, just AClass.java) but I still got an error:
"Usage: TestRunner [-wait] testCaseName, where name is the name of the TestCase class"
I don't get it. I'm not testing anything.

Now I have discovered that whatever I try to run it gives me that error... even the classes in a different project that I know are working because I've tested them earlier..

[Tolls]

Sorry, the first one (super(name)) was actually my suggestion, but I can see it wasn't entirely clear.
:)

That's what goes in the constructor.

Why are you focussing on the AClass class? You run the AClassTest class, not the class you are testing.

[cka]

I concentrated on it coz when I tried to run any other class I got the same error. So, I got little scared coz I didn't know what's going on and when I tried to google the problem I couldn't find anything on it.
But I see what I was doing wrong.
It's working now.
I switched to JUnit 4 and as you've said I concentrated too much on the AClass.
Thanks for help

Below is an example for anyone else using JUnit for the first time and who is being as silly as me:
ZClass.java

package ZPackage;

public class ZClass {
	
	public double z;
	public double v;
	public double k;
	public double u;
	
	public ZClass(double z, double v, double k) {
		this.z=z;
		this.v=v;
		this.k=k;
	}
	
	public double getPower(double f) {
		u = (v+k);
		double Sf = (z+v+k+u+f);
		return Sf;
	}		
}

ZClassTest.java

package TestZPackage;

import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import ZPackage.ZClass;

public class ZClassTest extends TestCase {
	
	private ZClass zclass;

	@Before
	protected void setUp() throws Exception {
		super.setUp();
	}
	
	@After
	protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
		super.tearDown();
	}
	
	public ZClassTest(String arg0) {
		super(arg0);
		zclass = new ZClass(3.0,2.0,1.0);
	}

	@Test
	public final void testGetPower() {
		assertEquals(zclass.getPower(2.0), 11.0);
	}

}

I do find 4 a lot easier to use, but I'm still curious why 3 wasn't working...oh well, at least it works now.

Norm said that the topic is an IDE problem so I've put it to eclipse subforum.

For those who are interested:
