Answer 1

it seems you forgot to make junit library available in your classparh

Answer 2

I ran into this problem because I accidentally put the failing JUnit test Java source file to location src/main/java/... instead of the correct src/test/java/....

My IDE Eclipse didn't complain about missing imports and would happily run tests from that file while it was located at src/main/java/... — while Jenkins would abort building, and therefore testing.

Moving the problematic file to the correct location, src/test/java/..., resolved my issue.

Answer 3

You need to provide a compilation classpath to javac, which includes junit.jar.

Check the <classpath> tag inside <javac> for one way to solve this.

Answer 4

My solution :

• Download junit.jar
• In the projet.properties file, find the line "javac.test.classpath=\" and add at the end /your/path/to/junit-4.10.jar
• you can test locally to see if it works
• push on github
• build on jenkins and voila it works :)
