How to run JUnit5 suite using the @Suite annotation

Question

I'm trying to figure this out for over a year now but I can't run JUnit5 suites unless I use the JUnit4 @RunWith annotation, which brings me some other issues. I'm trying to use the newer @Suite annotation instead but no matter what I try (name the test ending with IT, Test, run through IntelliJ, run through maven, include tag, exclude tag, etc), I keep getting the tests no found error. I think I'm really running out of ideas at this stage and would love someone to point it out what is it that I may still be missing.

Thank you very much.

Update

Added some more dependencies, which failure by failure have now brought me to this new error and updated pom file.

import org.junit.platform.suite.api.IncludeTags;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.SelectPackages;
import org.junit.platform.suite.api.Suite;

@SelectPackages("com.my.package")
@IncludeTags("google")
@Suite
public class TestSuiteGoogle {

Answer 1

I had the same issue as what u described in your above post, and I fixed it with following solution:

• add junit-platform-suite-engine dependency in .pom file.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
   <artifactId>junit-platform-suite-engine</artifactId>
   <version>1.11.3</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

• set the parameter with your test Suite class in surefire .

<configuration>
  <test>com.x.y.z.TestSuiteClass</test>
</configuration>

• run mvn clean first,then run mvn compile test

Answer 2

The Junit 5 User Guide states:

In addition to the junit-platform-suite-api and junit-platform-suite-engine artifacts, you need at least one other test engine and its dependencies on the classpath.

Your project does not include the junit-platform-suite-engine. Please add the following dependency to your project:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-platform-suite-engine</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
