No Tests Were Executed when using JUnit5 and Spring-boot-starter-parent

I have a very simple JUnit test class that I can not run unless I remove parent spring-boot-starter-parent from the pom, which wouldn't be a possibility for our production application. The error we get on is No Tests Were Executed and below is the mvp with the parent piece that whenever not commented out would block the tests. If I can get any guidance to know how to fix this please.

Thank you.

The problem is related to that you trying to use a different version of junit jupiter. The version which is predefined by spring-boot-parent (2.2.4.RELEASE) is 5.5.2. The simplest solution is to remove the versions of junit-jupiter parts (version tag) and use the one which is inherited from spring-boot-parent. The best recommendation I can give is to start with a newer version of Spring Boot (2.3.3.RELEASE most recent one) which uses a more recent version.
If you can't go that way you have to use the junit-bom file instead like this:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-bom</artifactId>
<version>5.6.2</version>
<scope>import</scope>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
Then it should work fine. Afterwards you have to use the dependencies without defining the version tag anymore in your pom.xml file.

Adding -DfailIfNoTests=false to the mvn command seems to make it work.

Issue adding MongoDB Java Driver as a Maven dependency

The title says it all really, my pom is shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<artifactId>CouncillorsApp</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
<artifactId>mongo-java-driver</artifactId>
<version>3.12.6</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
The following error is given:
"Dependency 'org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-sync:3.10.2' not found"
I'm using Java 14.0.2 and the latest version of IntelliJ

please read installation
you can try this
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
<artifactId>mongodb-driver</artifactId>
<version>3.12.6</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

So after restarting IntelliJ the above code seems to work fine. I'm unsure of where the issue was, but the dependency is being found now without any changes to the pom.

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: kotlin.io.ByteStreamsKt.readBytes(Ljava/io/InputStream;) for PACT tests

I'm getting this kotlin exception when trying to run some PACT tests using Java and not sure how to fix it please.
Here the error :
Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
kotlin.io.ByteStreamsKt.readBytes(Ljava/io/InputStream;)[B
EDIT
I've updated my PACT dependencies to use more up to date versions, and I'm still getting the same issue, however only when I have the below dependency as part of it and not sure why.

And that's what I see when look for Kotlin after running maven dependency tree. The complete project can be found here.
Thanks very much.

A possible reason you are getting that error (I'm assuming) is because you are mixing major versions of the Pact libraries.
<pact.version>3.5.24</pact.version>
<pact-jvm-provider-maven.version>3.5.9</pact-jvm-provider-maven.version>
<pact-jvm-maven.version>3.5.24</pact-jvm-maven.version>
<pact.jvm.consumer.junit.version>4.0.10</pact.jvm.consumer.junit.version>
You have versions 3.5.9, 3.5.24 and 4.0.10. You should use the same major version.
Versions 3.5.x are mostly written in Kotlin (probably version 1.2.x), while version 4.0.x is written using Kotlin 1.3.x.
I'm not sure why Sprinboot is impacting things, but maybe a Spring dependency is also bringing in a version of the Kotlin standard library.
The best thing to do is use version 4.0.10 for all the Pact libraries, then run the Maven dependency tree plugin and check that versions of the Kotlin standard libraries that are being used.

Add a common folder to both of my modules using Maven

I have a Maven build that has two modules (Server / Client) and I wish to create a folder containing shared methods by both of them.
What should I add to my pom.xml(s) in order to have a successful build?
I have 3 poms, a parent one in the root of the project, and two other ones respectively in the server folder and the client one.
Here is my parent pom.xml:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.christopher.kade</groupId>
<artifactId>jcoinche</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>jcoinche</name>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>
<modules>
<module>client</module>
<module>server</module>
</modules>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.netty</groupId>
<artifactId>netty-all</artifactId> <!-- Use 'netty-all' for 4.0 or above -->
<version>4.1.6.Final</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>

You should place the classes you in client and server in a third module.
and then add a dependency to that in the client and server modules.

You can do something similar to this. Within your main(parent) pom.xml, add the module and its dependency.
<modules>
<module>client</module>
<module>server</module>
<module>jcoinche-common</module>
</modules>
<dependencies>
..
..
<dependency>
<groupId>com.christopher.kade</groupId>
<artifactId>jcoinche-common</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<!-- ^=== assumes same version as project -->
</dependency>
..
..
Then, in your submodules that require the jcoinche-common module, just add a dependency there as well:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.christopher.kade</groupId>
<artifactId>jcoinche-common</artifactId>
</dependency>
Thats it.

How to use POMs as a dependency in Maven?

Is there a way to add a pom type dependency to my POM and get all its modules?
JavaMail is a good example. Maven Central Repo has a parent POM called: com.sun.mail:all:1.5.0 with modules: mail, mailapi, mailapijar, smtp, imap, gimap, pop3, and dsn.
However, the "all" artefact only has a single file: pom.xml Is there a way to add this "all" artefact as a dependency to my POM and get all its modules? I am 90% sure this is not the right way to use dependencies in Maven, but I want to hear it from an expert on The Stack.
Ideas:
<dependencies><dependency>...<type>pom</type></dependency></dependencies>
<dependencyManagement><dependencies><dependency>...<type>pom</type><scope>import</scope></dependency></dependencies></dependencyManagement>
Related: Netbeans: maven dependencies of type pom

You have to go with
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.my</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-deps</artifactId>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
This will transitively add all dependencies declared in com.my:commons-deps to your current POM.
Using
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>...</groupId>
<artifactId>...</artifactId>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
works as a simple 'include' of artifacts versions in your dependency management. Thus, it won't add any dependency in your project.

I believe you can create your own POM which aggregates the dependencies you want, and then in your original project add a dependency on that aggregate pom. You will still have to add dependencies on each individual module in your dependency POM, but it will be abstracted from the actual project POMs and allows those dependencies to be managed in one place, which could become useful if you end up having multiple projects that depend on that set of dependencies.
In your example you could create a new pom like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>mail-deps</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>mail</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>mailapi</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>mailapijar</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>imap</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>gimap</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>pop3</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>dsn</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
Then in your original project just add:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
...
<modules>
<module>src/main/java/com/mycompany</module>
</modules>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>mail-deps</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>

The short answer: You cannot do this in Maven.
The other answers make only the "all" POM a dependency. Does not solve the issue. Another answer tries to import the dependencies of the "all" POM. I don't need the dependencies; I need the (child) modules of the "all" POM. Again, does not solve the issue.
Side note: I was using the JavaMail library incorrectly. I only needed to add one dependency: com.sun.mail:javax.mail:1.5.0

If the pom you're trying to import, contains dependencies defined in a <dependencies/> section, and you would like to import them all, you can try the code below.
(Disclaimer: I haven't done this in a while): in your <dependencyManagement/> section, add the pom dependency like this:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>kung.fu<groupId>
<artifactId>ninja</artifactId>
<version>1.2.3</version>
<scope>import</scope>
<type>pom</type> <!-- Not too sure if you needed this
when it's scoped as import,
but just in case -->
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
It may as well be the case that you define the dependency directly in the <dependencies/> section not needing the <dependencyManagement/> bit, but as far as I recall, it should be scoped import as shown above.

As someone already wrote above : You can't do it . But this is what i did and it worked .
Lets assume you have some pom file (JavaMail in your example) with following :
<type>pom</type>
<dependencyManagement><dependencies><dependency></dependencyManagement>
And You want copy all jars mentioned in this pom to some place .
This is what i did and it is fast working solution
Open original pom and just copy-paste all dependencies section from original pom file to your new pom as is .
Of course use maven dependency plugin to copy all .
