Maven does not pick up tests in spring boot app

Question

In a spring boot app, I have a test class as such

class UserInfoControllerTest {

    @Mock
    private UserService userService;
    @Mock
    private Principal principal;
    private UserInfoController subject;

    @BeforeEach
    void setUp() {
        //before each code
    }

    @Test
    void shouldReturnXYZ() {
       //test code
    }

    //more tests
}

The tests in these class are picked up by IntelliJ Idea, when for example, choosing the Run -> Run with coverage option.

But when I run mvn test or mvn clean test, none of these tests are picked up. How do I solve this issue?

Edit: Here is pom.xml

I removed dependencies that are not related to testing, such as lombok, gson etc from the above file to keep the question small.

@user6690200 I have marked the `test -> java` directory as test sources root. But I don't think this is an issue, as maven should be agnostic to the IDE. — Registered User, Feb 18 '18 at 13:56
Where have you located your test? `src/test/java/` ? BTW: Good reason why you have made the test package private? Make it public ? — khmarbaise, Feb 18 '18 at 13:59
@khmarbaise tests are in `src/test/java`. I made the test class package private as IntelliJ was complaining the classes were unnecessarily public. It doesn't make any difference if I make the class public. — Registered User, Feb 18 '18 at 14:01
Can you please make a sample project with the above class on Github so we can take a look.... — khmarbaise, Feb 18 '18 at 14:25

This is an "issue" with using Junit5 and Surefire you need to specify the the provider for Surefire to be able to run the Junit5 tests,

<plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.19.1</version>
                <dependencies>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
                        <artifactId>junit-platform-surefire-provider</artifactId>
                        <version>1.0.0</version>
                    </dependency>
                </dependencies>
</plugin>

It works within IntelliJ as IntelliJ has native support for Junit5 currently, same with Eclipse.

Thanks, this helped. But it's not exactly correct. I found another question of which this is duplicate, although I'd have never found that if not for this answer. I'll close this as duplicate so that anyone who googles for this also finds the other one. – Registered User Feb 18 '18 at 14:43

It is also worth mentioning that you should import `org.junit.jupiter.api.Test` instead of ` org.junit.Test` – Jónás Balázs Jan 17 '20 at 10:42
