Spring Boot: 'junit-vintage' failed to discover tests
When Using Only JUnit5 Tests
I've just done an upgrade from Spring Boot 2.2.2.RELEASE to Spring Boot 2.3.1.RELEASE, and have suddenly started getting these errors:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M4:test (default-test) on project postdeploy: There are test failures.
[ERROR]
[ERROR] Please refer to /home/jamie/workspaces/www-api/www-api-web/postdeploy/target/surefire-reports for the individual test results.

My codebase doesn't use any JUnit4 dependencies, so I purposefully ignored it when pulling in spring-boot-starter-test
:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<version>${spring-boot.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
It turns out, as of 2.3.1.RELEASE, I also need to now either remove my <exclusions>
:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<version>${spring-boot.version}</version>
</dependency>
Or exclude both JUnit 4 and JUnit's "Vintage" engine which allows running both JUnit4 and JUnit5 code side-by-side:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<version>${spring-boot.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.junit.vintage</groupId>
<artifactId>jupiter-vintage-engine</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Note that this needs to be done in every place that you're pulling the spring-boot-starter-test
dependency.
Now it works as expected!
