I have a target named test and I want to do some tests.
I put here the important parts in build.xml. It includes:
<property name='lib.dir' value='lib' /> <path id='classpath'> <fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="**/*.jar" /> </path>
And I have put the junit.jar and ant-junit.jar(is it a must?) in the lib directory.
However, if I run
ant test
.
The output error is:
test: BUILD FAILED /home/xiaohan/EclipseWorkSpace/AntTest/build.xml:82: Problem: failed to create task or type junit Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask was not found. This looks like one of Ant's optional components. Action: Check that the appropriate optional JAR exists in -/usr/share/ant/lib -/home/xiaohan/.ant/lib -a directory added on the command line with the -lib argument Do not panic, this is a common problem. The commonest cause is a missing JAR. This is not a bug; it is a configuration problem
Additionally, if I put the two jar files in /usr/share/ant/lib with the $ANT_HOME set, it still does not work.
Really thanks for any hints
In my case (using Mint, based on Debian)
sudo apt-get install ant-optional
was the only thing that worked.
The issue was solved on RHEL-based systems once ant-junit was installed:
$ sudo yum install ant-junit
