Error Trying to Run JUnit Tests [message #1413530]

Good Afternoon everyone. I am just starting out with JUnit testing for an application we are developing and have been following some online training.

When I created a basic unit test and click on run, I am getting the following error:

An internal error occurred during: "Launching HelloJUnit".
java.lang.NullPointerException

I am not sure what the issue could be and I was looking to see if there were others that have had this issue, to see what they did to solve it.

Also not sure if I have the right versions installed to use JUnit.

Eclipse.org - Eclipse Platform - Version 4.2.1.v20130118
Eclipse.org - Eclipse RCP - Version 4.2.2.v20130129
Eclipse.org - Help System Base - Version 1.4.1.v20120912

Android Developer Tools - ADT Package - Version 23.0.2.1259578

I have created a project in Eclipse and have added in some tests. When I attempt to run/debug the tests using Run As -> JUnit tests, I receive an error that states :

An internal error occurred during: "Launching HelloJUnit".
java.lang.NullPointerException

The HelloJUnit is just a sample test that I was working on in a training.

I have tried to include the different versions/settings that I could find in Eclipse that might help someone figure out if I don't have something configured properly. It is attempting to use JUnit 4, JRS System Library [JavaSE-1.7]

It would be easier to guess what went wrong with a bit more of the NPE
stack trace.

I believe that I have figured out my issue. I was using a workspace that was incompatible with what I was trying to do. Made a few changes and now I am able to run the unit tests again.

I have the same issue, please I have spent the whole day trying to fix this issue.
I have a clean adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140702 with ECLIPSE JUNO installed on my laptop and I got this error by trying to run a JUnit Test.

What do you mean by a not compatible workspace ? please let me know what you did in order to fix the issue.

thanks.
