Error while trying to execute junit tests

Question

I'm trying to run some junit tests but I'm constantly having errors.

My pom.xml has the following maven dependencies:

<junit.version>4.12</junit.version>
<junit.jupiter.version>5.0.1</junit.jupiter.version>
<junit.vintage.version>${junit.version}.1</junit.vintage.version>
<junit.platform.version>1.0.1</junit.platform.version>

<!-- junit dependencies -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>${junit.version}</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
        <version>${junit.jupiter.version}</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <!-- Only required to run tests in an IDE that bundles an older version -->
    <dependency>

        <version>${junit.vintage.version}</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <!-- To avoid compiler warnings about @API annotations in JUnit code -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apiguardian</groupId>
        <artifactId>apiguardian-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

I actually have three methods with @BeforeAll, @Before and @Test annotations. Those methods only have print functions in order to pass the tests.

The errors I'm having are the following:

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.5.

I googled about it but I did not found any good response, any idea?

Answer 1

I have downloaded the project from a link you provided. When I change the add method to be public everything works ok for me:

@Test
public void add() {
    Calculator calculator = new Calculator();
    assertEquals(2, calculator.add(1, 1), "1 + 1 should equal 2");
}

I tried to run tests both from IDE and maven. To run tests from maven you could try to execute the following in command line:

mvn clean install

This will both build your project and run tests for you.

My setup is:

• Java version: "1.8.0_131"
• Maven version: 3.3.9
• IntelliJ idea version (may be useful if you want to run tests from IDE): 2017.2.5
