Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/junit/platform/commons/util/ClassNamePatternFilterUtils

Question

I want to configure Maven to run Junit 5 tests using these dependencies:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
            <version>5.7.0-M1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
            <version>5.7.0-M1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-jupiter-params</artifactId>
            <version>5.7.0-M1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-platform-launcher</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.0-M1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.mockito</groupId>
            <artifactId>mockito-junit-jupiter</artifactId>
            <version>3.3.3</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

But I get exception:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-14\bin\java.exe"

Do you know how I can solve this issue?

Please show the rest of your Maven pom file. First guess: s.t. else is pulling in a different version. What I can already see is that the first 4 deps can be replaced by a single one onto the aggregate artefact junit-jupiter. — johanneslink, May 14 '20 at 19:08

Add below code or maven equivalent:

testRuntimeOnly "org.junit.platform:junit-platform-commons:1.7.0"

Explnation:
ClassNamePatternFilterUtils belongs to platfrom-commons which is transitive dependency. This class introduced in the 1.7.0 version. Hence, needs to explicity add the dependency.

For some reason in your project build path org/junit/platform/commons/util/ClassNamePatternFilterUtils.class is missing, but this can be found in junit-platform-commons (1.7.0)

for maven projects add this dependency to pom.xml file :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-platform-commons</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.0</version>
</dependency>

for gradle projects add this dependency to build.gradle file:

compile group: 'org.junit.platform', name: 'junit-platform-commons', version: '1.7.0'

For maven dependency, use 'test' scope – wytten Apr 23 '21 at 16:29
For gradle project, it works. Thank You. – Susmita Sadhu Jan 12 '22 at 05:07

I fixed the issue using only:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-bom</artifactId>
    <version>5.7.0-M1</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>
