Why am I launching the tests incorrectly?

Basically I am building a project for an assignment that has bunch of tests that needs to pass using Junit. But I seem to be trying to run it incorrectly and I don't know how or why

Basically i have directory like this

[project]
Test.java
junit-4.12.jar
hamcrest-core-1.3.jar
src/cards/bunch of files
src/boards/bunch of files

So first thing I did is compile the project using javac Test.java after few small fixes it compiled, so next thing I wanted to do is launch the actual tests.

So I launched it with java -cp ./junit-4.12.jar:./hamcrest-core-1.3.jar:. Test.java

I get the following error

Error: Could not find or load main class Test.java

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: As you can see compilation went through, i'm referencing at least presumably correctly to JUnit. Here's how's my directory structured

My directory.

And how's my test file looking

Solution

  • Maybe you should compile first your Test.java file.

    Then specify the correct packages if there is one

    java -cp ./junit-4.12.jar:./hamcrest-core-1.3.jar:. src.Test

    Take a look at where is your Test.class file

    Here you'll find a complete example that explains how to run your tests from command line.
