I'm new to fantom, so finding my feet.

Mostly I work in netbeans, but for testing, due to the need to use fant, I suspect this won't work. So, I'm trying from the CLI.

I have a pod, mrctesting, and fan/ClassSomething and test/TestClassSomething, as per

http://fantom.org/doc/docTools/Fant.html

Now, wherever and however I run

fant mrctesting

I get:

sys::UnknownPodErr: mrctesting
at fan.sys.UnknownPodErr.<init>(UnknownPodErr.java:39)
at fan.sys.UnknownPodErr.make(UnknownPodErr.java:25)
at fan.sys.UnknownPodErr.make(UnknownPodErr.java:22)
etc.

I'm sure this is 101 basic, but the instructions use one pod name to describe organisation, another for writing tests, and yet another for running tests, so it's impossible to know where to start looking due to this inconsistency.

I'd appreciate a pointer. Thanks.

Did you build the pod ? It needs to be built first before it can be tested I think.

cd  mrctesting
fan build.fan
fant mrctesting

Also you should be able to build from Netbeans. Right clik the project/pod then choose "build pod", then choose "test pod".

As tcolar said, you may not have installed the pod.

You can check the list of installed pods from the command line:

fan -pods

This command is super-helpful when you have multiple installs of Fantom.

Thanks for that. Thought it would be simple.
