Unit tests under intellij

I am new to intellij. Trying to make the switch from Eclipse.

I have imported my project into intellij and feel that went well. The project structure follows the maven standard src/main/java for code and src/test/java for the unit tests. I then place the unit tests in the same package as the original java classes, but have directory separation for builds so my unit tests never end up in production.

I feel that I have imported the junit libraries properly because I can access them by creating a new unit test in src/main/java and it shows me the junit classes.

My unit tests in src/test/java are another matter. I am getting class not found errors on Assert and Before and also on the classes from src/main/java that I'm testing.

I feel like I've missed something in the setup. Please point out my error.

In the Project Explorer you need to mark the src/test/java directory as a 'Test Source Root'.

To do this right-click the directory and on the popup menu you'll see an item 'Mark Directory As', which will give you the option to mark the directory as a 'Test Source Root'.

If that doesn't work, then try downloading the junit jar file and adding it manually to the dependency path.
