Try to create a test for a package private class. There is a progress with message 'working' and later an information that the class was skipped. This is unusable. How can I find what's the reason? OK, the problem is default setting for junit module option 'include package private classes'. Why this is false? IMO testing of these classes is at least as usefull as testing of abstract ones.
I would split this bug report into three smaller bug reports: 1) Package-private classes are skipped by default (when creating tests for multiple classes). 2) No reasonable message when tests generation is skipped. 3) When the Create Tests action is invoked for a single package-private class, the action does nothing except the message in question. Issue 3) was reported recently - see bug #52083. I will add more description and evaluation to it soon (hopefully within an hour). I just filed a separate RFE for issue 1) - see issue #52153 ("Do not skip package-private classes by default"). And the remaining one is issue 2) which will be solved in this bug report.
Fixed. The message now shows the reasons why the class(es) was(were) skipped (i.e. that it was package-private, or abstract, etc.) Checked in: 1.41 junit/src/org/netbeans/modules/junit/TestCreator.java 1.48 junit/src/org/netbeans/modules/junit/CreateTestAction.java 1.59 junit/src/org/netbeans/modules/junit/Bundle.properties
Verified in nb5.0 fcs. The message is shown upon test creation finish.
