Maven 2 Not Running Junit 4 Tests

Question

I'm having an issue getting surefire to run Junit4 tests. This same issue was reported in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2021771?sort=newest#sort-top but the solution there was to removed the offending dependency whose transitive dependency caused the inclusion of junit3. In my case the dependency is necessary. I'm trying to figure out how to exclude transitive dependencies to junit3 so it is not included in the surefire:test classpath.

Below are my pom.xml and the output from "mvn -X test". The pom.xml attempts to use the "exclusion" element, but that doesn't seem to help. Notice near the bottom where maven adds junit3 to the test classpath.

Answer 1

I couldn't figure out how exactly you could get the JUnit 4 running with all of your dependencies, but I did notice that you're dependency on the TestNG Unitils artifact was what was causing the problem.

Note that in order to get my test working, I had to remove the repositories, the plugins other than the compiler and surefire, and the apache rampart dependencies.

The three changes I made in order to get a sample JUnit 4 test case running were:

• Remove the junitArtifactName element from the surefire configuration
• Moved the junit artifact from the dependencyManagement section to the dependency section
• Remove the unitils-testng artifact from the dependencies. You have it listed as a having a type of pom, which makes even less sense.

Note that the unitils-core is also of type pom, which doesn't make much sense.
