ScalaTest - JUnitRunner cannot be found

junit, scala, scalatest

Solution

Remove this import to make it work:

import scala.Predef.String

All members of `Predef` are automatically imported for you by the compiler, unless you import a selective one manually like this. `classOf` is a member of `Predef` and gets hidden this way.

Problem

I am trying to run my tests with the annoatqaion as per ScalaTest website: ``` import org.scalatest.FunSuite import org.hamcrest.Matchers._ import org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert._ import org.junit.runner.RunWith import org.scalatest.junit.JUnitRunner import scala.Predef.String @RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner]) ``` I am getting the following error messages when I try to build: ``` error: not found: object classOf @RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner]) error: annotation argument needs to be a constant; found: <error: <none>>[JUnitRunner] @RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner]) ``` If I remove the annotation the tests run as well, but I presume the point of the annotation is to allow better running environment from JUnit... ANy help would be greatly appreaciated
