JUnit 5 tests in Maven Project works in IntelliJ but Not from Command Line

Using Java 1.8 and JUnit 1.5, I created a sudoku solver which reads valid and invalid files from my maven based project’s resources directory. The issue is that when I run the JUnit test within Intellij IDEA Ultimate Edition, the unit tests run and everything works! But, when I run from the command line using the following commands mvn clean test or mvn test, none of the tests run!

When I run the JUnit file manually in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition, all my tests run correctly…

When I run from the command line using the following commands mvn clean test or mvn test, my unit tests do not run!

mvn clean test

Answer

The root cause is likely your Maven version. Maven 3.6.0 was released on October 24th, 2018. This release includes version 2.22.0 of the Maven Surefire Plugin (unit test runner) and 2.22.0 of the Maven Failsafe (integration test runner) plugin. The 2.22.0 releases include support for JUnit.

Prior to these releases, to run JUnit 5 tests under Maven, you needed to include a JUnit provider dependency for the Maven Surefire plugin.

You will see example configurations for Maven like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.19.1</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-platform-surefire-provider</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.0</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
            <version>5.1.0</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</plugin>

IntelliJ can run it’s own maven version which probably doesn’t require that plugin definition
