Ant tests: undefined method runWithFlexUnit4Runner?

Question

Hi all!
I am trying to automate AIR tests that run successfully via Adobe Flash Builder 4.
I get the following error:
  Error: Call to a possibly undefined method runWithFlexUnit4Runner through a reference with static type flexunit.flexui:FlexUnitTestRunnerUI.
    [mxmlc]
    [mxmlc]                 testRunner.runWithFlexUnit4Runner(currentRunTestSuite(), "unit_tests");
when I run the tests from command line via: ant -v clean package.
The part of the build.xml responsible for this is:
<target name="test" depends="compile">
<!-- Execute FlexUnit tests and publish reports -->
         <mxmlc
            file="${test.src.loc}/FlexUnitApplication.mxml"
            output="${bin.loc}/FlexUnitApplication.swf"
            actionscript-file-encoding="UTF-8"
            keep-generated-actionscript="true"
            incremental="false"
        >
           <load-config filename="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/>
           <source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/>
           <compiler.source-path path-element="${test.src.loc}"/>
           <compiler.include-libraries dir="${lib.loc}" append="true">
            <include name="pb3dlib.swc" />
            <include name="airframework.swc" />
            <include name="airglobal.swc" />

            <include name="FlexUnitOptional.swc" />
            <include name="FlexUnitTestRunner_rb.swc" />
           </compiler.include-libraries>
        </mxmlc>
What swc do I need to include?
Thanks,

Andreea,
The actual tests created by Flash Builder are fine, it is really just the main application file they create. They don't ship the source, so modifying it is difficult.
You can, however do something like this example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
      xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
      creationComplete="runMe()" >
<mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
    import compilationSuite.SuitesToRun;
    import org.flexunit.listeners.CIListener;
    import org.flexunit.runner.FlexUnitCore;
    import org.flexunit.runner.notification.async.XMLListener;
    private var core:FlexUnitCore;
    public function runMe():void {
        core = new FlexUnitCore();
        //Put this line in if you want to write the XML to disk for use in reporting or a CI server
        core.addListener(new CIListener());
        //Leaving this one in allows you to see the results in Flash Builder as well if it is open
        //Else, it will just fail and go on. The name in the quotes below is your project name
        core.addListener(new XMLListener("unit_tests"));
        //Finally, pass what you want to run to the core.run() method. This could be the result of your currentRunTestSuite() from the
        //previous code you pasted
        core.run( compilationSuite.SuitesToRun );
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
