I'm trying to write my first unit tests for a calculator, but NetBeans says it can't find the symbol assertEquals
and annotation @Test
.
Should i include something?
I'm using NetBeans 7.3.1 and W7.
package calculator;
import org.junit.Assert.*;
public class UnitTests{
@Test
public void checkAdd(){
assertEquals(2, Calculator.rpnCalc(" 2 3 + "));
}
}
EDIT: Thanks guys, importing it as static helped. Test annotation required only including
import org.junit.Test;
assertEquals
is a static method. Since you can't use static methods without importing them explicitly in a static way, you have to use either:
import org.junit.Assert;
...
Assert.assertEquals(...)
or:
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
...
assertEquals(...)
For @Test
it's a little bit different. @Test
is an annotation as you can see by the @
. Annotations are imported like classes.
So you should import it like:
import org.junit.Test;
Generally avoid using wildcards on imports like import org.junit.*
. For reasons see Why is using a wild card with a Java import statement bad?.
