When trying to run tests using command mvn test I receive an error:

[ERROR] There was an error in the forked process
[ERROR] java.lang.NoClassDefFou         


        

Answer 1

The following worked for me using surefire.plugin.version 2.22.2

junit-jupiter artifact brings in all other necessary artifacts.

  
    
      org.junit
      junit-bom
      5.5.2
      pom
      import
    
  


  
    org.junit.jupiter
    junit-jupiter
    test
  
  
  
    org.junit.vintage
    junit-vintage-engine
    test
