java - JUnit with Ant returns "No runnable methods" -

i'm banging head against wall - have empty test file (its more test build file else

a few months build file got corrupted - , reason starting new project didnt fix it, had make 1 scratch, needed support build, requires test - , not working :(

package com.rcdc.questiondatabase;  import org.junit.after; import org.junit.afterclass; import org.junit.before; import org.junit.beforeclass; import org.junit.test; import static org.junit.assert.*; public class rcdcservicetest {    public rcdcservicetest() {   }    @beforeclass   public static void setupclass() {   }    @afterclass   public static void teardownclass() {   }    @before   public void setup() {   }    @after   public void teardown() {   }  // todo add test methods here.   // methods must annotated annotation @test. example:   //   @test   public void testhellotest() {     if(true){       asserttrue(true);     }   } } 

my build file:

your test classpath doesn't seem have test classes on it, although ant knows test names should run, junit can't find associated class run.

from follow-up comment - when netbeans executes tests directly, invokes it's own junit runner associated listeners - or results parsers - hook junit lifecycle know tests doing. when tell netbeans run ant task, doesn't know ant doing (it doesn't have sight of tasks within ant), doesn't know whether you're trying run junit task, or 1 of many other tasks within ant wouldn't make sense try , reports on, other in console.
