Hello Everyone
Im new to Java and VSCode and im trying to use JUNIT for my current classes on Java, but im not able to use JUnit. I have installed all the official extensions (The Java extensions, and the java extension pack), and I run this guide here:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-testing
But I still have the same issues. I created a very simple test file:
Java File:
public class Greet {
public String says() {
return "Hello";
}
}
public class Greet {
public String says() {
return "Hello";
}
}
```Test File:
```java
import org.junit.
*
;
public class GreetTest {
@Test
public void test() {
Greet gre = new Greet();
}
}
import org.junit.*;
public class GreetTest {
@Test
public void test() {
Greet gre = new Greet();
}
}
```But it always creates the same two issues: "org.junit Package does not exist" is the error i receive in the code and when I switch to the Test-Tab it does not show me the Test-File to run the test-file with.
What am I missing here? I also found this post, but that did not help: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56244560/vscode-not-finding-unit-tests](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56244560/vscode-not-finding-unit-tests)
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Gabe

Your java-extension doesn't know your jar packages even if they lie in your project. Expected behavior is like:
Under "JAVA PROJECTS" > "Referenced Libraries", there are jar packages (ignore gurobi-12.0.1.jar, that is my personal-purpose jar).
Conventionally, java-extension (actually extension "Project Manager for Java") know where your jar packages are by folder name "lib", so try rename your "test-lib" to "lib". If it doesn't work, you can manage the dependencies by clicking the "+" icon or the "-" icon on the "Referenced Libraries" node, or you can just directly drag your jar libraries to the node "Referenced Libraries". For more information: dependencies-for-unmanaged-folder.
Hello Tianyu
I unfortunately still receive the same error message after the reinstallation:
And yes, both java files are being created:

Hello @Gabriel ,
Can you confirm that you have clicked the Testing option on the left => click Enable Java Tests => and select to install JUnit?
I believe that you have followed the document to install the JUnit, then the "hamcrest-core-1.3.jar" and the "junit-4.13.2.jar" should be installed.
If the issue persists, please try to follow/check the following complete steps:
If you follow the above steps, but the error persists, please try to reinstall VS Code, reinstall JDK(uninstall it from Control Panel), and reinstall the extension then test again.
Best Regards,
Tianyu

Hello Tianyu
Unfortuantely not, I still get the same error, and yes, the files are being created.
Kind regards,

Hi @Gabriel ,
Thanks for sharing the screenshots.
I notice that the "test-lib" folder was named as "test-lib". Did you rename it?
On my side, this lib folder was generated by default and its name is "lib"(by default).
I'm not sure if this causes the issue. But, since the packages(hamcrest-core-1.3.jar and junit-4.13.2.jar) have been installed, I think the issue is that VS Code fails to detect them. Maybe something was changed.
