junit: no tests found

I have inherited a Java project and am new to Java development. I feel a good way for me to get comfortable with the code is to write some tests around it. I'm writing my code using IntelliJ.

My existing project has a folder structure like this:

/myProject
  /src
    /main
      /java
        /com.lexcorp
          /core
            /email
              /providers
                emailProvider.java

I created a new project that will hold tests for this project. I would like this project to hold both unit and integration tests. Currently, my new project has a structure like this:

/myProjectTests
  /src
    /main
      /java
        /com.lexcorp.core.email.providers
          emailProviderTest.java

The emailProviderTest.java file looks like the following:

package com.lexcorp.core.email.providers;

import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.junit.Test;

public class EmailProviderTest extends TestCase {

    private final String username = "[testAccount]";

    private final String password = "[testPassword]";

    @Test
    public void thisAlwaysPasses() {
        assertTrue(true);
    }
}

This project has a Run/Debug configuration with the following properties:

When I run this configuration, I get an error that says:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: No tests found in com.lexcorp.core.email.providers.EmailProviderTest
    at org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit38ClassRunner.run(JUnit38ClassRunner.java:84)

    at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57)
    at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:120)

I do not understand why I'm getting an error that boils down to: "No tests found". While my project structures differ, the folder structures on the OS match (which is another thing that confuses me). Why am I getting this error and how do I fix it?

I was getting this error, too:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: No tests found in ...

The reason was that I forgot to specify

defaultConfig {
    ...
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

After syncing the project, it found the tests. So maybe it helps someone else.

I bumped into the situation in JUnit 5 when created a private method:

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test

class Test1 {

    @Test
    private fun sort() {
        println("1")
    }
}

Remove private.

I was fretting with this and none of the answers helped me until i moved the test source file from this folder:

src/test/java/com/junit/test

up to this folder:

src/test/java/com/junit

In my case, I needed junit4-version.jar in the classpath of the task junit and also:

ant-version.jar
ant-junit-version.jar
ant-junit4-version.jar

at the library of my ant installation (/usr/share/ant/lib).

I was getting the error "junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: No tests found in ..." while I hadn't had ant-junit4-*version*.jar in the right place.

I corrected this by installing ant-optional debian/ubuntu package:

apt-get install ant-optional

I had the same issue, in Intellij IDEA, for Java framework. I was doing all right:

  • the class inherited from TestCase
  • I've imported junit.framework.TestCase
  • I've add the decoration @Test

But I did one thing wrong: the name of the method didn't start with "test", in fact was:

@Test
public void getSomethingTest(){

and when I changed it into:

@Test
public void testGetSomethingTest(){

I've resolved: the executor was finally able to recognize this method as a test method. I've changed nothing else.

Test method name public void testName() {}

Where name() in source naming name methods.

if you are using jUnit 4 then not use extends TestCase, removing this fixed error.

I had it when using data provider and one of the parameters had a new line character, like this:

@DataProvider
public static Object[][] invalidAdjustment() {
    return new Object[][]{
            {"some \n text", false},
            };
}

Removing the \n solved the issue

The other reason generally i see people having method parameters, remove any parameters you might have in the test method, regardless you add @Test annotation , you need to have your method name starting "test" in order for Junit to pick you testcase. hope it helps.

I was getting this too:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: No tests found in ...

Solved by renaming the test method from method1

@Test
public void method1(){
    // Do some stuff...
}

to testMethod1

@Test
public void testMethod1(){
    // Do some stuff...
}

Extending junit.framework.TestCase is the old JUnit 3 approach of implementing test cases which doesnt work as no methods start with the letters test. Since you're using JUnit 4, just declare the class as

public class EmailProviderTest {

and the test method will be found from the @Test annotation.
