It has been added with https://github.com/apache/ant/commit/71333195c9d57d80d1a44cd8362a641c62d5e214 and the commit message states the main use case "running tests from an arbitrary directory". I don't recall the details, you may want to look at the mailing list archive of December 2004. My main point is this is something that has been working for more than thriteen years and I don't want to break it for people who rely on it just because it makes running the tests from an IDE slightly inconvenient (by having to remember something). > _and_ add assumptions checks, since it causes nasty NPEs when not set? IIRC the fallback would be to use the current working directory instead of the "root" property if the former is not set. We can easily deal with this by using System.getProperty("root", System.getProperty("user.dir")) instead, right? > By the looks of it, JUnit 5 runner tests need an assumption check, too. Not sure why, but I may again be missing something.
