Can I use Assert class in Junit if I am not implementing Junit test cases and how to do that?

Question

I am implementing tests depending on private test framework, but I found no proper assert method to stop the test. So I try use Assert class in Junit. But always get below error. Is it true I can't use Assert in Junit if I am not using its framework(Run as Junit test)?

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: junit.framework.Assert
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)

btw, what it should be for Junit path?

Yes, you have to put the framework (as you said) on the classpath of your project. — Jorge Campos, Nov 24 '13 at 05:53
Yes, you can use them. From your error, I suggest you check your projects dependencies. Seems like you aren't including the junit jars in your project's classpath. — acdcjunior, Nov 24 '13 at 05:55

Have a look at Hamcrest if you're looking for an assertion library.

You cannot use JUnit's Assert outside of JUnit tests.

However, you can just use Java's assert keyword instead.

Here is a comparison between the two.
