--------------------------------------------

OK having tried to get this working for sometime I am pretty puzzled, and think that it must be more than a class loading problem, however I cannot prove this.

It was my intention to run individual test classes by simulating exactly what the patch would do, however setting the classpath manually then running the junit command passing the TestFetcher class as an argument I get the following:

{code}
lewis@lewis-01:~/ASF/branch-1.4/runtime/local$ export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:~/ASF/branch-1.4/src/test
lewis@lewis-01:~/ASF/branch-1.4/runtime/local$ echo $CLASSPATH
:/home/lewis/ASF/branch-1.4/src/test
lewis@lewis-01:~/ASF/branch-1.4/runtime/local$ bin/nutch junit org.apache.nutch.fetcher.TestFetcher
Class not found "org.apache.nutch.fetcher.TestFetcher"
{code}

I have been able to run test classes using the method described by Todd above, however I'm wondering if anyone else can  advise where I am going wrong with this issue? It's been a loooong day ;)

> In development it's handy to be able to run a single test case easily. You can do it with ant -Dtestcase=foo test, but that's slow since it still checks all the plugins for changes, rebuilds jars, etc.
> This patch adds a command to bin/nutch to run a junit against what's already compiled. It's much faster than using ant. Recommended for use with nutch -core
