Please provide steps on how to reproduce this. Also please describe what the bug looks like – maybe a stack trace?

[~aloraine]
To reproduce
go to below file location (I have tested this in Netbeans)
plugins/Bookmark/src/test/com/affymetrix/igb/bookmarks/BookMarkTest.java

When I opened the file, it shows errors in the IDE but it builds without any issues. (Maybe a dependency problem or IDE?)

I have attached a screenshot of BookMarkTest.java for reference.

I think that IGB builds without any issues maybe because BookMarkTest.java is a Test class. Kindly correct me if I am wrong.
I found out that the plugin for "junit" was missing in the pom.xml for Bookmark and I have added the plugin and also an import statement. Now it shows no errors on my IDE. I am attaching a screenshot for the same. The code changes are present in the link below. Kindly review.

Follow-up question for Shamika Gajanan Kulkarni:

• Does the test execute during the build?

(I think it will, based on your changes, but we should check.)

The BookMarkTest.java was not executing during the build since the java file was not in the java folder and hence maven could not find the test class. When corrected, the test file runs successfully without any problem. The changes are present in the link below:

Also, we had a discussion once that all the test cases need to be verified and so, I tried running all the test cases which are skipped during the build and found out that some test cases fail while others run successfully. I was trying to dig a little deeper into the ones failing and was thinking should we fix them or skip them just the way they are being skipped right now. Kindly let me know what should be done. For now, moving this ticket to Needs First Level review.

Sorry, I am little bit confused. Do you mean you moved the file with test cases (add-the-rate Test annotation) into the "test" folder? If yes, that is correct. If you do that, then maven will locate the tests and run them during the default lifecycle. Also, your addition to the pom will ensure they can run, since they depend on junit. If there are other "Test" files under the "main" folder, then they should also be moved to "test".

Actually they were in the Test folder but not under Java. Maven locates the test sources under "src/test/java", and the path in our IGB project for BookMarkTest.java was "src/test/com/..." I just moved the file to "src/test/java/com...". This way, maven could locate and run the test file. Sorry for not being clear about this earlier.
Yes I have checked for the notations and this was the only test class in BookMarks plugin.

Kindly review.

Shamika Gajanan Kulkarni, I've tested your version of BookMarkTest.java in netbeans and it is not showing any errors now. Also, when I tried to build it, it is not throwing any exceptions.
Moving it to DONE.
