Adding testing for my java project
2 projects | dev.to | 9 Nov 2023

Because I only wanna use the cmd java test, so I chose Junit4 which supports Plain-old JAR. I did test according to the Getting started document. But when I ran the javac -cp .:junit-4.XX.jar:hamcrest-core-1.3.jar CalculatorTest.java I got the error message CalculatorTest.java:4: error: package main does not exits. I tried to reorganize the folder and set Path according to others' experience 1, 2, but it still did not work.

Oops, another error. This is why we should read the manual 😅.

JUnit4
Why can't I use classes from tertiary dependencies pulled in by maven?

Delete those imports and remove the junit-jupiter-api dependency. Follow the instructions for JUnit 4.

How to properly ignore Junit 4 in Gradle and Maven

Quite a lot of Java dependencies bring Junit 4 or Junit vintage engine as a transitive dependency.
Can I package my JUnit test program into a JAR, that uses test files which are external to the JAR?
1 project | /r/javahelp | 4 Jun 2021

The AHTest039.json file is the actual test. My testRunner() method (no relation to JUnit test runners) reads that JSON file, processes it, and asserts that the test passed. So my test class consists of a few Java methods, and what is essentially a list of JSON files to process.
