"cannot retrieve JUnit method"

[TTop]

I'm trying to execute some JUnit 3.8 tests using the TestNG ant task,
but it fails with an error:

[testng] Failure in JUnit mode for class
com.theplatform.test.media.facade.functional.FormatRegistryTest: could
not create/run JUnit test suite:

I'm hoping somebody can give me an idea of what's wrong... I'm new to
TestNG.

My testng.xml file looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="Suite1" verbose="1" parallel="classes" thread-count="5">
<test name="mediafunc" junit="true">
<classes>
<class
name="com.theplatform.test.media.facade.functional.AdminTagsTest"/>
<class
name="com.theplatform.test.media.facade.functional.CategoryTest"/>
<class
name="com.theplatform.test.media.facade.functional.MediaDateTest"/>
<class
name="com.theplatform.test.media.facade.functional.FormatRegistryTest"/
>
</classes>
</test>
</suite>

Any ideas on this?

The exception is happening inside the JUnit runner, can you debug into this?

Also, what class is it trying to run?

It occurs once for each test class specified. I'm not really sure how to set up to debug the test runner, I'm just calling this via the ant task.

What would the most straightforward way to do this? I use IDEA for my IDE.

This link  will help you to debug ant task. Just make sure that to configure the source of jar file in Eclipse so that when the debugger starts to execute the code inside junit jars, eclipse will load the source in IDE
