Running jenkins gives "package org.junit does not exist"

Question

Can any one please help me with that error?

build-project:

Does it only happen in Jenkins, or does it happen also when you start the build from the command line using Ant? Maybe this question will help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1792445/running-ant-build-gives-package-org-junit-does-not-exist — Christian Semrau, Jun 13 '11 at 09:15

Thanks for your answer, but can you tell me how can I do it? – Manoel Jun 13 '11 at 09:16
download junit jar from [here](https://github.com/KentBeck/junit/downloads) , add it to your classpath. for further information check [this](http://www.wikihow.com/Add-JARs-to-Project-Build-Paths-in-Eclipse-(Java)) – jmj Jun 13 '11 at 11:07
how is this configured on the jenkins server? – simgineer Mar 04 '13 at 22:00
@sim you should provide it in your app runtime classpath, if not under controll put it to server's lib – jmj Mar 04 '13 at 22:06

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 :)

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.

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.
