Manged to get separate test ant - can't understand error log

Question

Hi,
I managed to get a simple example of Junit running through ANT building but not testing correctly.
my example test class looks like:
package com.sims.test;
public class HelloWorldTest extends junit.framework.TestCase {
    public void testNothing() {
    public void testWillAlwaysFail() {
        assertEquals("", "");
}this runs fine through eclipse with as a JUnit application.
my buildfile looks like:
<project name="TestHelloWorld" default="test" basedir=".">
     <property name="test" location="C:/myProjects/runway_core/guitools/sims/build/classes/com/sims/test"/>
     <property name="tests.src" location="${basedir}"/>
     <path id="test.class.path">
     <pathelement path="C:/eclipse-SDK-3.2.1-win32/eclipse/plugins/org.junit_3.8.1/junit.jar"/>                   
     <!-- the test classes are all in here -->
     <pathelement location="${test}"/>
     </path>
     <!-- Build of the Junit test -->
     <target name="build-tests" description="Build the Junit test">
       <javac srcdir="${tests.src}" destdir="${test}">
         <classpath refid="test.class.path"/>
       </javac>
     </target>
     <!-- Run of the Junit test -->
     <target name="test" description="Run the Junit test"
                depends="build-tests">
       <junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="no">
         <classpath refid="test.class.path"/>
           <formatter type="plain"/>
           <test name="com.sims.test.HelloWorldTest" outfile="result"
                    todir="${test}"/>
       </junit>
     </target> 
     </project>Now it build fine, but when I click on 'test' in the Ant perspective of Eclipse it returns:
Buildfile: C:\myProjects\runway_core\guitools\sims\src\com\sims\test\fileListingbuild.xml
build-tests:
test:
[junit] Running com.sims.test.HelloWorldTest
[junit] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 0 sec
[junit] Test com.sims.test.HelloWorldTest FAILED
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second
to the console.
and there is a log file with:
Testsuite: com.sims.test.HelloWorldTest
Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 0 sec
     Caused an ERROR
com.sims.test.HelloWorldTest

I know I probably am doing something simple wrong but can't figure it out.
Thanks,

Answer 1

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sims.test.HelloWorldTestThat's about as clear as they get right there.
Check your CLASSPATH and make sure that your "[subfolders]/com/sims/test" directory is included there.
