[junit] Problem: failed to create task or type junit with Version 2.1.1 Follow
I am having this problem with Version 2.1.1(build 4261).
specifically, it doesn't seem to recognize junit.
I get the following error:
BUILD FAILED
/home/teamcity/tomcat/buildAgent/work/Server/rb_1_0_0/build.xml:361: Problem: failed to create task or type junit
Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.JUnitTask was not found.
This looks like one of Ant's optional components.
Action: Check that the appropriate optional JAR exists in
-/usr/share/ant-core/lib
-/home/teamcity/.ant/lib
-a directory added on the command line with the -lib argument
Do not panic, this is a common problem.
The commonest cause is a missing JAR.
This is not a bug; it is a configuration problem
I have tried this with both the Teamcity bundled ant, as well as the one on the system.
The junit tests run correctly if i run them from the console.
Any ideas?

Rudy,
What kind of JUnit tests do you run, 3.8.x or 4.x?
Please try to run your build from the directory /home/teamcity/tomcat/buildAgent/work/Server/rb_1_0_0 , using command line ant. Does it work?
Please also try to remove ant home variable setting in Ant runner parameters in TeamCity UI.
Regards,

KIR,
We are running 4.x tests.
Running the build from the directory /home/teamcity/tomcat/buildAgent/work/Server/rb_1_0_0 using the command line ant works without any problems.
I don't have any ant home variables set in the TC UI, but I have tried it with both setting them and not.
Anyone?
Hi Rudy,
Sorry for the delay with answer - looks like forum notification system doesn't work for me :(
I'd suggest to upgrade your TeamCity to version 3.0 (or, better, 3.1 which is about to release in the beginning of the next week). We've made a lot of changes since 2.1.1 and junit4 tests work just fine for many our clients now. We had some issues with junit 4 in TC 2.1.
Kind regards,
KIR
