Answer 1

I encountered this error when changing the project's structure. I accidentally marked the 'src' directory as the Source Root, which caused the test dependencies 'spring-boot-starter-test' not to be pulled in.

Therefore, I recommend checking the project's structure. It's possible that your error is related to this.

You have to add the dependency to your class path. If you are using maven add:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.junit.jupiter/junit-jupiter-api -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
    <version>5.9.2</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

to your pom.xml
