Firstly Apologies if this is situated in the wrong forum section.

I want to test my java coding, within my Eclipse environment (I am using Windows XP). I have recently downloaded Eclipse 3.4.1 (Ganymede) and Eclipse IDE for java.

I try to test some basic code first (see below):

package org.NewProject;
 
import junit.framework.TestCase;
 
public class PersonTest extends TestCase {
 
	public void testPerson() {
		fail("Not yet implemented");
	}
 
	public void testSetMaximumBooks() {
		fail("Not yet implemented");
	}
 
	public void testSetName() {
		fail("Not yet implemented");
	}
 
}

I go to Run > Run as > J Unit test.. And a Message comes up as 'Problem Launching JUnit test; No socket available'
Even though its set to fail, it should run, and produce resulting errors, however it does not run.

In my C: > program files > Java I have jre1.6.0_01 and j2re1.4.2_03 ( which I think are required), and i have also restarted my computer. Was just wondering what I am missing or if someone could point me in the right direction, as its annoying now :(

Thanks

 

 

that's an old version of JUnit, probably 3.8.

i'd recommend starting with JUnit 4.4.

jre? you need the jdk, right? do you understand the difference?

using JUnit 4.4, your test would look like this:

package org.NewProject;
 
public class PersonTest extends TestCase 
{
        @Test 
	public void testPerson() {
		fail("Not yet implemented");
	}
 
        @Test 
	public void testSetMaximumBooks() {
		fail("Not yet implemented");
	}
 
        @Test 
	public void testSetName() {
		fail("Not yet implemented");
	}
}

there are some static imports that you'll have to add, too.

this doesn't answer your question, but your responses will tell a lot about you.

i find that pasting my error messages into a google search helps a lot:
