I faced the same issue. It got resolved after I did a maven clean build and then ran the test.

mvn clean install

To resolve this issues I included the log4j2 dependency in my pom.xml file.

<dependency>
        <groupId>io.basc.framework</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j2</artifactId>
        <version>1.8.3</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Find link below. maven repository

I had the same issue, I just used the clean command for maven.

clean -f pom.xml

If you are working in IntelliJ you can use maven plugin instead. On the right side click maven Tab -> plugins -> clean -> clean:clean

I faced the same issue but it got resolved with different solution, you can check below problems as well.

Actually i have given the wrong testNG.xml path in POM.XML that's why it was throwing me that error. Please cross verify your testNG.xml path.

I had a similar issue and after using older version of maven-surefire-plugin solved my issue.

       <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <!-- latest version does not work well with JUnit5 -->
            <version>2.19.1</version>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
                    <artifactId>junit-platform-surefire-provider</artifactId>
                    <version>1.0.3</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
                    <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
                    <version>5.0.3</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </plugin>

The above exception log clearly states that it is unable to find the TestRunner class. Make sure your TestRunner class is on the classpath.

I was getting a similar exception due to there were few extra characters added in the Classes section of the TestNG XML file. Its worth checking TestNG XML file is correct and doesn't contain any extra chars than needed structure.
