org.junit.platform.commons.JUnitException: TestEngine with ID 'junit-jupiter' failed to discover tests

Question

I wan to implement a Junit 5 test into Gradle project. I tried this:

Gradle configuration:

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.5.5'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
    id 'java'
}

group = 'test'
version = '0.0.1'
sourceCompatibility = '17'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

ext {
    set('springCloudVersion', "2020.0.4")
}

dependencies {
    ...............
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.8.2'
    testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.8.2'
}

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
    }
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

Junit test:

import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Timeout;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class GeneratePdf {

    @DisplayName("Test MessageService.get()")
    @Test
    @Timeout(value = 60, unit = TimeUnit.SECONDS)
    public void generatePdfFileTes() throws InterruptedException
    {
        System.out.println("test!");
    }

}

When I run the code I get error:

Internal Error occurred.

Do you know how this issue can be fixed?

EDIT:

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

public class InvoiceTests {

    @Test
    public void generateTest()
    {
        System.out.println("test!");
    }

}

I tried this but again it's not working.

Solution 1

What is the project structure you are following? I remember facing a similar issue when I started out, so basically what I did was just follow this structure:

project-dir
 -- src
     -- main
        -- java
            -- classes
     -- test
        -- java
            -- test-classes

In addition to the above structure, make sure you are naming your test classes in a correct format as mentioned in the above answer by @johanneslink

Solution 2

I had issue this issue when I updgraded the versions of junit from 5.7.0 to 5.8.2. Try with version 5.7.0 for org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api and org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine

Solution 3

GeneratePdf does not match the default name pattern for test classes. The default pattern is Test*|*Test|*Tests.

You can change it in your Gradle file with

test {
  useJUnitPlatform()
  include '**/*Pdf'
}

Solution 4

Environment :

• IntelliJ
• Java 17

I have faced the same issue after upgrading my project from JDK 11 to JDK 17 and junit-jupiter-api from 5.7.0 to 5.8.2.

On my project, the working version is 5.7.2

Judging from the stacktrace "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.merchant.poc.GeneratePdf" something in your setup seems to be wrong. Might be conflicting versions or source paths or a few other things. If a clean build doesn't help, I suggest you create a minimum reproducing repo and link it here, so that others can recreate the effect.

I tried to change the names(see the post) but again it's not working.

[Antony Stubbs]

Same. Do we know what the difference in 5.8.2 is that's causing this?

[Younes El Ouarti]

Thanks this helped. This was the solution to my problem when I upgraded from spring boot 2.5.10 to 2.6.5
