是否可以从 src/main 中的 src/test 加载测试类？

Question

Im new in Java and JUnit technology and I cant understand why I cant create instance for class from src/test in src/main classes?

For example:

My JUnit runner is in src/main in second module(I have dependecy for first module). JUnit runner for filtering tests required MethodSelector object but in constructor i must put Class javaClass, String methodName parameters. When I tried create instance for my test class in src/main from src/test I cant import this class...

I understand its not best practice when in src/main we create test instances but my runner must be console app so if I understand well it should be in src/main? Over the past two weeks I have not seen another way to filter tests without class instance and method names parameters.

I try to do it like this

def class = Class.forName("package.from.src.test")

but I always get java.lang.ClassNotFoundException error.

Can anyone help? Thanks

I am posting this very late but hoping it would help someone.

I was able to access a class from src/test into src/main using following gradle entries. I am not sure how to do it with non-gradle project.

sourceSets {
    main {
        java {
            srcDirs 'src/main/java'
            srcDirs 'src/test/java'
        }
    }
}
