Hi,

If you’re using Maven for your project, you can run JUnit tests with the following command:

mvn test

Maven will automatically detect and run the tests in your project. Ensure that your pom.xml is properly configured to include the JUnit dependency.

For projects using Gradle, you can execute JUnit tests with:

gradle test

This command will run all tests defined in your Gradle project. Make sure your build.gradle file includes the JUnit dependency in the test implementation configuration.

You can also use the JUnit Console Launcher to run tests from the command line. First, download the JUnit Platform Console Standalone JAR file from the JUnit website. Then use the following command:

java -jar junit-platform-console-standalone-<version>.jar -cp <classpath> --scan-classpath

Replace with the version number of the JAR file and with the path to your compiled classes and dependencies. This command scans the classpath for tests and executes them.
