Getting "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/junit/platform/engine/DiscoverySelector" trying to run Serenity JBheave

Question

Created a new generic Serenity BDD JBehave framework with Maven ( via command line).

Imported the project into Intelli J but when i try to run the "AcceptanceTestSuite" I get an error saying "No Tests are Found" and the following errorException in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/junit/platform/engine/DiscoverySelector

I've tried re importing the project but that doesn't solve the problem.

Here is the full error log:

Answer 1

Add dependency to pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-platform-engine</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

Without using maven, dependencies of Junit 5 are:

junit-jupiter-api

junit-jupiter-engine

junit-platform-engine

junit-platform-commons

junit-vintage-engine (optional)

They can be found: https://junit.org/junit5/

In my case we are using gradle, somehow i could not able to solve it, i have added jars manually in eclipse now its working. In Eclipse project → build path → config build path -> libraries → add all libraries related to "jupiterEnginer5.5". Here are all jars for "jupiterEnginer5.5" : opentest4j-1.2.0.jar junit-platform-engine-1.7.0-M1.jar junit-platform-commons-1.7.0-M1.jar junit-jupiter-engine-5.7.0-M1.jar junit-jupiter-api-5.7.0-M1.jar apiguardian-api-1.1.0.jar
