'NetBeans 10 JUnit Jar not found
I have a new installation of NetBeans 10. Trying to run some initial unit tests I just created, I get the following error:
The
<classpath>or<modulepath>for<junit>must include junit.jar if not in Ant's own classpath
I could probably hack the build script to include junit.jar, but I want to know: what's the right way to fix this?
Shouldn't NetBeans come with a version of JUnit already accessible? Should I configure my project differently? How do I add a path to the library?
How can I find the classpath for Ant (and what version/binary NetBeans is using)?
The project Test Libraries shows that JUnit 5.3.1 is present, I have three Jar files listed there: junit-jipiter-api, junit-jupiter-params, junit-jupiter-engine. But it seems to be not actually found.
The project is a standard Java Library (no main class). I didn't add any "extras" or mess with the default project setup that NetBeans uses. Just used the basic setup wizard thing.
Re. a reply from the NetBeans mailing list by Geertjan Wielenga, he pointed me at this thread and reply:
Yep...
We never got around to implementing JUnit 5 support for Ant based projects in NB 10.

So I think it's just not going to work. I'll try the suggested reversion to JUnit 4 below.
Solution 1:[1]
I had the same error but it was not a configuration issue, it was only a typo.
The main method of the class I was testing was written like this:
public static void main(String agrs) {
///
}
The only thing I had to do was to write it properly, like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
///
}
Once I changed it, the problem was gone. I suppose this is not a global solution, but may help some.

I found a better solution to the accepted answer is to select JUnit 4 from Create/Update tests. Then you don't have to reconfigure your tests every time.

Solution 3:[3]
I faced the same problem. I removed the existing Junit 5 files and added the files here instead.
