Answer 1

If you are using linux, open the termial and work the command below. Do not forget to add the user in the place where the "user-name" is

cd /home/you-user/.m2/repository/
sudo rm -r junit

Answer 2

Go to pom.xml and make sure your file contain this dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Also make sure that in this dependency is no "scope" node:

<scope>test</scope>

Answer 3

FYI, Add this in your pom.xml

 <dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 4

Maybe you lost the package

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
  <version>5.1.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 5

I had to put sprint-test jar at the "TOP" of Java Build Path

Answer 6

I fixed this one by

• Deleting my local maven repo (~/.m2/repository) and
• In eclipse forcing a new build (Project->Clean...)
