Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12:test (default-test) on project.

Question

I have been trying from a couple of days to resolve the following error but I am unable to resolve it :(

My module\'s pom.xml file is:

Answer 1

Was facing the same issue multiple times and I have 2 solutions:

Solution 1: Add surefire plugin reference to pom.xml. Watch that you have all nodes! In my IDEs auto import version was missing!!!

    
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-surefire-plugin
        3.0.0-M3
    

Solution 2: My IDE added wrong import to the start of the file.

IDE added

import org.junit.Test;

I had to replace it with

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
