Running JUnit test suite from inside Eclipse

Question

Historically, I've always written my unit tests like this:

public void WidgetTest {
    @Test
    public void test_whatever() {
        // Given...

        // When...

        // Then...
    }
}

This allows me to right-click my test file in Eclipse and Run As >> JUnit, and test that 1 particular test, directly from inside Eclipse. Then, when doing a local (Ant-based) build, I configure a <junit> Ant task to run all of my src/test/java tests at once.

I'm now looking for an in-between solution. That is, a way to run all of my test classes from inside Eclipse, all at once, with the click of a button. A co-worker recommended that Junit has a notion of a "test suite" that I could attach all of my test classes to, but it looks like this test suite is some sort of JAR/tool that I don't want to include in my project.

So I ask: how can I define such a "test suite", consisting of all my test classes, and run all of them in one fell swoop, from inside Eclipse? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can right click a project or package in Eclipse and choose to 'Run As->JUnit Test', to run all tests in that project or package. No need for a test suite unless you only want to run a subset of the tests.

Answer 2

Have you tried to right-click your project and selecting and selecting Run as -> JUnit test? That runs all Unittests in the project.
