Solution 1

From your pom:

<executable>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_144.jdk/Contents/Home</executable>

That's probably not really your executable. I would recommend just removing that line.

If you really want to hard code your java executable, find where the java binary really is - what you have now looks like a directory, not the binary executable.

Also note that in general to find out details about the error, running maven with debug logging on (mvn -X) is recommended.

Solution 2

This is an irritating error that pops up once in a while , jotting down some steps which help:

Writing answer from eclipse perspective as base logic will remain the same whether done by Intellij or command line

  1. Rt click your project -> Maven -> Update project -> Select Force update -> Click OK
  2. Under properties tag , add :
 <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
 <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
  1. In some instance , you will start seeing error as we tried force update , saying , failure to transfer X dependency from Y path , resolutions will not be reattempted , bla bla bla

In such case quickly fix it by cd to .m2/repository folder and run following command :

for /r %i in (*.lastUpdated) do del %i
  1. Also , if you have the JDK 8 already set in the class path , you do not need fork tag , try to remove and build the project

    I am trying to run mvn clean compile test for my automated tests and getting the maven compilation error message.

    I am posting the error message and my pom file here.

    I am using cucumber framework and the java version is 1.8.0_144.

    PS:I am able to run the test manually through my IDE without any error.

    Can someone guide me on why this is happening?
