Make maven fail safe pluing to run test from included jar

Question

I have a test code deployed to antifactory Based on this Guide to using attached tests I want to invoke that test from plugin

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>

The test code is included as part of dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.myproject</groupId>
  <artifactId>tests</artifactId>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.myproject</groupId>
  <artifactId>tests</artifactId>
  <type>test-jar</test>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

maven failsafe plugin

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.22.2</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
    <configuration>
      <dependenciesToScan> 
        <dependency>org.myproject:tests</dependency>
      </dependenciesToScan>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <goals>
           <goal>integration-test</goal>
           <goal>verify</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

I am trying to invoke mvn command as

mvn clean verify -Dit.test=com.myproject.TestRunner

I am getting the error as

integration-test: (default) on project testproject: No test where executed!

Now how do I make the maven-failsafe-plugin to call the class inside the dependency jar

--- EDIT ---

as a workaround I unzip the jar from .m2 folder to the local folder path target/test-classess then it picks up the compiled code .class files and testing is working

Why would you like to call the tests within an packaged jar? Why not doing the test from the project which has packaged them? — khmarbaise, Apr 19 '22 at 12:13
Check out this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10496846/run-junit-tests-contained-in-dependency-jar-using-maven-surefire/17061755#17061755 it is for surefire, but maybe for failsafe similar feature exists. — jwpol, Apr 19 '22 at 12:18
@khmarbaise that is the requirement, dependenciesToScan was provided by the failsafe plugin but it does not have the capacity use it, may be it is not programmed that way — Dickens A S, Apr 21 '22 at 06:33
`failsafe plugin but it does not have the capacity use it, may be it is not programmed that way`??? Please show your full pom file and the calling...which Maven version and surefire/failsafe plugin versions you are using? — khmarbaise, Apr 21 '22 at 07:12
