Question

I have scoured the internet for almost five days now looking for a fix to this issue, but I cannot seem to find and fix it on my own, mainly because I am so new to both Mave

Answer 1

Sometimes you get similar sounding errors but for reasons that're really not related to the tools - in this case Surefire plugin.

For me I was getting a similar error but the reason was i wasn't pointing to the correct DB url !

Among a lot of verbosity (using mvn -X flag) I saw a timeout message.

One trick I did was to install IntelliJ on the build server (for debugging purpose) and fixing problems through it first and then uninstalling it and making sure everything works on build server as well.
