Pieter van den Hombergh commented on NETBEANS-1817:
---------------------------------------------------
Ant based project: Changing the library set back to Jnunt 4.12 and changing the
imports and annotation accoridingly makes it into a project that can be tested,
both on the project level and on the test-class level. This makes me infer that
the old ant-based test infrastructure is still in place.
{color:#14892c}OK{color}
The{color:#333333} annoying part{color} lies in the fact that the test
templates expanded from new-> unit-test->junit produce junit 5 code and
imports, which are then not usable. This makes a very bad experience and is not
acceptable when teaching novices to create unit tests. First steps should be
easy, not hard. {color:#d04437}NOT OK{color}
It would help if the test wizard would allow selection between junit 4 and
junit 5, like it has been possible (in some previous version) to choose between
junit 3.8 and junit 4. Then I would have an easy transition from NB 8.2 to
NB10, keeping my old (junit 4) tests and allow a more gradual transition to the
newer stuff (Java 11, modules, JUnit 5 etc). I do welcome the addition of Junit
5, which is an area in which nb has been lagging. Having it only in maven based
projects is ok for the time being, as it also works as advertised and show with
NetCat. I rand those tests myself, and was pleased and surprised at the same
time.
I might be thinking to simple here, but I surmise that the build files
(build.xml, build-impl.xml, build.properties) are also generated form
templates. It might suffice to add the proper code (and conditions) to the ant
files (which are big beasts) and add the odd jar file, needed for ant to have a
working runner. From the junit 5 tutorial website
[https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#running-tests-build-ant] I
infer that it might be as simple as adding a different runner. I might find
some spare time between the holiday obligations to experiment with the build
file to first make it work from the command line and the proper libraries/jars
and then see how this can be integrated into NB10.
