separating JUnit test files from source files [message #312171]

I'm working on a project in Eclipse. Originally all of our source files
and JUnit tests were in the same directory. I tried to separate out the
test files to a different directory. If the test files are moved away from
the source files, the test files no longer work.

Originally they were in the folder .../src/company/package/source.java and
.../src/company/package/test_source.java

When I move them to the file .../src/test/package/test_source.java I get
the error in Eclipse "The declared package "company.package" does not
match the expected package "test.package".

How do I set Eclipse so it doesn't declare a test.package? I need them to
be in the package company.package because the tests access protected
methods.

Thanks in advance

You should make separate src and test folders and add both of them to
'Source folders on build path' (right-click on the project, select
Properties>Java Build Path and choose the Source tab).
You have tried to make the nested source folders, but that is not
allowed in Eclipse.

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry. I am a bit confused at what you are
suggesting I do.

Right now I have my source and test files in the directory: D:\Documents
and Settings\myName\workspace\myProject\ and the Eclipse project source
file settings are currently myProject (include all, exclude none)

So I'd love to separate all the JUnit test files into another directory
maybe D:\Documents and Settings\myName\workspace\Test

I tried making a new project for D:\Documents and
Settings\myName\workspace\Test and adding D:\Documents and
Settings\myName\workspace\myProject\ as a source file for that project. I
still got the error ""The declared package "company.package" does not
match the expected package "package".

Hi Stacy,

Please do following steps.

Click your project, then select new->source folder, and name it f.e.
application.

Repeat the action and create new source folder called tests.

Now try to move in one folder your classes, into other tests.

Please let me know if it helps.

Regards,

Do you actually understand what you did, though? If not, you'll
undoubtedly run into further problems.

I strongly suggest you open the Eclipse Help Contents and navigate to
the Java Development User Guide > Getting Started, and go through the
tutorials there. Otherwise you will find yourself bumping your head
against other issues in the future.

Hope this helps,
Eric
