I have a classpath issue.
However, I get
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.
I will post my parent and child pom.xml. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd be very grateful.

I dont know why but in my case spring-boot-starter-test comes with junit 4.10 and I find that is compiled with 4.12, so after add
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.12</version>
</dependency>
Works fine. Maybe a misconfiguration in pom of spring-boot
In a comment you've said that project compiles, but tests don't run. Maven-surefire-plugin may be the culpit (as it was in my case). I was getting the same error, but after a little digging I knew that:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.
was caused by:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: SpringJUnit4ClassRunner requires JUnit 4.12 or higher.
at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.<clinit>
which was thrown because maven-surefire-plugin wasn't picking test framework provider from the classpath but instead supplied its own outdated junit provider.
I get rid of the error by specifying JUnit artifact name:
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>{your.surefire.version}</version>
<configuration>
<junitArtifactName> junit:junit:{your.junit.version} </junitArtifactName>
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
