Junit test error with Ant, no message, no reason given - ant

Question

I'm trying to use Junit test with ant.
Since I don't really know how to write Junit test without eclipse, I'll just start with something completely trivial I found online. This should always pass.
Test1.java
import junit.framework.*;
public class Test1 extends TestCase {
#Test
public void testOne()
{
System.out.println("Heyy there I'm a test!");
assertTrue( "TestExample", true );
}
}
I add to my build.xml these...
49 <target name="junit" depends="jar">
50 <junit printsummary="withOutAndErr" fork="yes" showoutput="yes">
51 <classpath refid="application"/>
52 <test name="test.Test1"/>
53 </junit>
54 </target>
So now when I run "ant junit" I'm getting
junit:
[junit] Running test.Test1
[junit] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 0 sec
So... that doesn't tell me anything... what was wrong? how to fix it? nothing.
Anyone knows what's up?

Answer 1

I can reproduce it. I was expecting junit to give some more verbose message, like Class test.Test1 not found. But no, it just fails. It means the class is not in the classpath. Open your jar file (with archivizer like 7zip to confirm that).
And no surprise, as your class does not compile :) Add the following:
package test;
import org.junit.Test;
and your first test should pass.

Answer 2

#jarekczek helped me huge by letting me know that Junit is not some external thing to be compiled separately to execute but it needs to be compiled into the jar with your other source files.
The problem was that I put my test/ directory outside of my src/ directory, and when ant compiles the java files in src/ it did not compile the file Test1.java into Test1.class
I moved the test/ folder into the src/ folder, and now I got more informative error messages from the javac compiler, and was able to fix it. Thanks so much!
