When I run the test-ooxml Ant target, the build fails while running AddImageBench. The file build/ooxml-test-results/TEST-org.apache.poi.benchmark.AddImageBench.txt contains the following: *** START OF FILE *** Testsuite: org.apache.poi.benchmark.AddImageBench Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0 sec Testcase: initializationError took 0 sec Caused an ERROR No runnable methods java.lang.Exception: No runnable methods at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:423) *** END OF FILE *** As a workaround, I have tried adding the following lines to the "ooxml-test-runner" in build.xml, but JUnit still tries to run AddImageBench: <!-- At least one test in these directories fails --> <exclude name="**/org/apache/poi/benchmark/*"/> <!-- Tests known to fail --> <exclude name="**/AddImageBench.*"/> I am working in Windows 10, and have had this problem running ant both from the command line and from inside Eclipse.
I just successfully built POI from the command line using the "assemble" target. I will try to duplicate the problem reported here, and hope to report before 10 May 2019 what caused it.
It appears that the problem was in changes I had made to build.xml trying to get Ant to build POI. The offending error was in the following text (starting at line 1612): <poiunit failureproperty="ooxml.xmlsec.test.failed" heap="768" jacocodest="build/jacoco-@{type}-xmlsec.exec"> <classpath> <path refid="@{classpath}"/> <path refid="test.jar.classpath"/> <path refid="ooxml.xmlsec.classpath"/> </classpath> <batchtest todir="${ooxml.reports.test}"> <fileset dir="${ooxml.src.test}"> <!-- <include name="**/TestSignatureInfo.java"/> --> </fileset> </batchtest> </poiunit> I had commented out <include name="**/TestSignatureInfo.java"/> as part of my debugging attempts. When this line is commented out and the "assemble" target is run, the unit test "AddImageBenchmark" in target "test-ooxml" fails. When this line is not commented out, the build succeeds. I will add a comment to bug 63381 "Suggested change to "How to build" instructions" with detailed suggestions on how to build POI when using Eclipse.
