Eclipse Buildship: Getting JUnit 5 running in Eclipse

DJViking · February 24, 2019, 3:18pm

I created a new eclipse modular java project.
src/main/java
src/test/java
Created JUnit 5 test case, which it added the Eclipse JUnit 5 library.
Running the test worked fine.
I then converted it to a gradle project. Created a build.gradle, removed the project from Eclipse and imported it again using Gradle Buildship. Now the JUnit test case will not run.

Class not found no.smeaworks.mytest.MyTest
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.company.mytest.MyTest
	at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:583)

I am not quite sure what I am missing from my gradle setup.

Steps:

Created the project

Created the JUnit test case

Running the test case successfully failed test

Converted it to Gradle

 test {

     reports {

Deleted the project and Import with Gradle Buildship

The additional eclipse.gradle
Without this, then Eclipse cannot resolve the JUnit dependencies that buildship puts on the classpath.

eclipse {
    project {
        natures 'org.eclipse.buildship.core.gradleprojectnature'
    }

    classpath {
        file {
            whenMerged {
                entries.findAll { isModule(it) }.each { //(1)
                    it.entryAttributes['module'] = 'true'
                }

                entries.findAll { isSource(it) && isTestScope(it) }.each {
                    it.entryAttributes['test'] = 'true'
                }

                entries.findAll { isLibrary(it) && isTestScope(it) }.each {
                    it.entryAttributes['test'] = 'true'
                }
            }
        }

        defaultOutputDir = file('build')
        downloadSources = true
        downloadJavadoc = true
    }
}

boolean isLibrary(entry) { return entry.properties.kind.equals('lib') }
boolean isTestScope(entry) { return entry.entryAttributes.get('gradle_used_by_scope').equals('test'); }
boolean isModule(entry) { isLibrary(entry) && !isTestScope(entry); }
boolean isSource(entry) { return entry.properties.kind.equals('src'); }

This is the JUnit Eclipse run configuration

Hey @DJViking.

I presume you’ve already found an answer since you first asked your original question eight months ago. But while I was searching for something else, I happened to stumble across this old post of yours. It looked like a good real-world functional test to exercise an upcoming release of my mrJar plugin.

My ultimate goal in this exercise was pretty much exactly what your title says. I wanted to test out how mrJar handles running a JUnit 5 test — and a JavaFX application — from a Gradle project imported into Eclipse…

Looking at the build.gradle in your post, that project has the JUnit 5 modules declared in its dependencies{} block. Buildship will automatically do what’s necessary regarding those dependencies. For those reasons, I skipped your original steps where you added the JUnit 5 library. I don’t think that step is neccessary if the ultimate goal is mainly to run a test in the IDE.

Also, Buildship gives me a bunch of prebuilt Run Configurations. It presents them in a neat collection in the form of the Gradle Tasks view. It even gives me the Ctrl + Alt, X, G hotkey combo to run whichever test’s currently in the editor. So for that reason, I don’t go through the trouble of an extra user-created run configuration. Aside from the built-in Gradle Tasks being simpler and more convenient anyway, an extra run configuration would be redundant — in my opinion.

I’m hoping you can share the solution you eventually settled on. TIA
