JUnit5 Platform Launcher API - Cannot create Launcher without at least one TestEngine

[LucasBullen]

Copying from StackOverflow due to inactivity: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48672051/junit5-platform-launcher-api-cannot-create-launcher-without-at-least-one-teste

I am attempting to upgrade the testing abilities of our automated testing suite to accept JUnit5 tests and when following The JUnit Platform Launcher API instructions I get the error "Cannot create Launcher without at least one TestEngine; consider adding an engine implementation JAR to the classpath". The cause is that the following is unable to find any instances of TestEngine:

Iterable<TestEngine> testEngines = ServiceLoader.load(TestEngine.class,ClassLoaderUtils.getDefaultClassLoader());

Do you have any suggestions on how to ensure that the ServiceLoader is able to find an instance of TestEngine?

I have included org.junit.jupiter.engine, which contains JupiterTestEngine which implements TestEngine, as a required plugin. I have tried adding a direct path to the jupiter.engine JAR in the project's .classpath. I have tried creating an instance of JupiterTestEngine within the same file and it is created successfully, but still no TestEngines found by the service loader.

This is for Eclipse and you can see the code base here:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.test

I added the following to the manifest:

    org.junit.platform.launcher,
    org.junit.jupiter.api;bundle-version="5.0.0",
    org.junit.platform.engine;bundle-version="1.0.0",
    org.junit.platform.commons;bundle-version="1.0.0",
    org.junit.jupiter.engine;bundle-version="5.0.0",
    org.junit.vintage.engine;bundle-version="4.12.0"

Added this to the .classplath:
<classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="/home/lbullen/Documents/eclipse/plugins/org.junit.jupiter.engine_5.0.0.v20170910-2246.jar"/>

Added the org.junit.jupiter.engine JAR to the lib folder then added it to be included in the binary build. (I'm stretching for a solution)

And I'm trying to get the Tutorial code to work in an edited version of http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.test/src/org/eclipse/test/EclipseTestRunner.java with all the old JUnit code removed and LauncherFactory.create(); added to the EclipseTestRunner constructor.

Have you considered asking your question within the Eclipse issue tracker?

I imagine someone there could help you much better than we can. 😉

@noopur2507, thoughts?

It can be tracked further in the Eclipse bug.
