Maven fails to compile spring-boot empty project

Question

I have downloaded a spring-boot empty project from Spring Initializr and when compiling it gives me the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.22.2:test (default-test) on project demo: There are test failures.

I've tried with both jdk 8 and 12, looks like it doesn't change anything.

Here is my pom.xml

I've already read all the similar topics here but my problem is different. I have to use Maven and have not added any plugin yet.

My test folder is empty, I'm running the project as downloaded. — gipsy, Oct 16 '19 at 14:06
I think this can help you: [Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.10:test](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36427868/failed-to-execute-goal-org-apache-maven-pluginsmaven-surefire-plugin2-12test) — Mihaita191, Oct 16 '19 at 14:18
Please change the parent version to earlier stable one like 2.1.5.RELEASE. Later on right click on project and do the forceful updates of maven. — Niraj Jha, Oct 16 '19 at 14:41
Right-click on "project" Go to "Maven" >> "Update" and check forceful update option — Niraj Jha, Oct 16 '19 at 14:43
Try running mvn clean install and check the output. It should direct you to the issue. — Pajala, Oct 16 '19 at 21:23
And didnt it point you to where it tries to run the tests? Or which class that it tries to run? — Pajala, Oct 16 '19 at 22:16
[ERROR] Please refer to C:\Users\User\Downloads\demo\demo\target\surefire-reports for the individual test results. [ERROR] Please refer to dump files (if any exist) [date].dump, [date]-jvmRun[N].dump and [date].dumpstream. — gipsy, Oct 17 '19 at 07:32
