Answer 1

Go to Project>Build Path>Configure Build Path>Libraries>Remove Error libraries

After Refresh project and run again program.

Answer 2

I had similar issue and the project had some build errors. I did sudo -R 777 to the project and then I cleaned my project. After that it worked fine.

Hope it helps.

Answer 3

I also got the same exception:

I tried the following steps:

1. In Eclipse> Project > Clean. (The Exception remained)

2. I ran another project(The testng.xml ran successfully)

After running another project, I ran the project in which I was getting the Exception, and fortunately it worked for me, with no errors.

Answer 4

In my opinion if src has test/java/ folders then in build path out location should be like target/test-classes.

If src has main/java/ folders then in build path out location should be like target/classes.

Answer 5

I had this same problem when I imported my project from one PC to another on IntelliJ IDEA.

Below Solution worked for me:

1. Import project using Git.
2. After Importing IDE would prompt you a dialog on the bottom right corner saying "Import as Gradle", you need to select that but make Sure you have set JAVA_HOME and GRADLE(Gradle Home or Gradle wrapper both should work) properly.
3. Run the build.gradle and make sure all the dependencies are downloaded correctly without any error.
4. Now move to your Test Case and try to run with TestNG or JUnit and if you have followed above 3 steps properly you should able to run the test case.

Answer 6

I had the same error when tried to run my tests in a JSF project.

I´m using Eclipse IDE (kepler). So, I did "project > clean" and then ran the tests again of the same project.

It worked!
