My module\'s pom.xml file is:

Answer 1

This is what solves the problem:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.19.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

from Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.10:test

Answer 2

The problem is not in your dependencies.... you should open detail error on this path

Please refer to D:\Masters\thesis related papers and tools\junitcategorizer\junitcategorizer.instrument\target\surefire-reports for the individual test results.

the detail error's in there, maybe your service class or serviceImpl class or something missing like @anotation or else... i got error same with you,...u should try

Answer 3

Change the version number to 2.19.1 works for me :)

`<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.19.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <systemPropertyVariables>
            <xmlOutputDir>${project.build.directory}/surefire</xmlOutputDir>
        </systemPropertyVariables>
    </configuration>
</plugin>`

Answer 4

This is a kind of test failure.@SpringBootApplication annotation contains these configurations.

1) @Configuration

2) @ComponentScan

3) @EnableAutoConfiguration

@EnableAutoConfiguration is the reason for this error. This will try to automatically configure application according to dependencies in your pom.xml

As a example when you have spring-data-jpa dependency in pom it will try to add configuration to application by looking at application.properties file for data source. So you need add data source to solve that.

For MySQL :

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/lahiru
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=

Or

You could hide this by skipping testing.

mvn install -DskipTests

For more details.

Answer 5

This issue could be related to the already busy port. Surefire run on 5005 port. So you need to make sure that this port is free. If not change it or kill the process. This happens in Intellij some time.

Answer 6

That worked for me,

Right Click on project -> "Run as Maven Test". This will automatically download the missing plugins and than Right Click on project ->"Update Maven project" it removes the error.
