Error post Ant Compile

testng jar files are missing. add them to your ant jars folder.

PS: next time send a screenshot of the problem, instead of the text file.

Hello Ashish,

Thanks for reply. I did below things:

1) I moved all jar files I had downloaded from your code link (including testang.jar) to 'Ant > lib' folder (where there were many jars already present).

2) In eclipse, I tried to Runas build.xml as ANT build and this response (pls note that I havent made any change in the main code i.e. class files)

Buildfile: /Users/vidhantrivedi/workspace/TestNG_Tutorial_Mod9/build.xml
usage:
[echo] ant run will execute the test
[echo]
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 424 milliseconds

Still when I run 'ant compile' from command prompt, I get the same error.

Kindly suggest what mistake am I doing here pls.

error is:

must be some jar file that is missing.

Do you know which Jar file? or how can I find out which jar file is missing.In previous post AShis mentioned jar file missing, but he mentioned different files for different post.
Thanks

i cannot see the full text in command prompt can you upload the full screen shot.
