Description

When I try to run a JUnit 4.12 test case in a non-modular project, I get the following error:

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module ${related.module.name} not found

The full output with the Ant Verbosity Level set to Verbose is attached below.

I worked around the issue by making the following two changes.

First, I changed the project's Run-time Test Libraries under Project Properties > Libraries > Run Tests as follows:

Before (default, fails)

Modulepath
    Modulepath for Compiling Tests
Classpath
    Classpath for Compiling Tests
    Compiled Tests

After (works)

Modulepath
Classpath
    Modulepath for Compiling Tests
    Classpath for Compiling Tests
    Compiled Tests

Then I also created a new Run Configuration called "Tests" which did not contain the VM Option "--add-modules=javafx.graphics".

With the "Tests" run configuration selected in the NetBeans toolbar, and the change to the Run Tests Libraries, the unit tests ran without errors.
