Answer 1

It looks like you have some tests broken in the lib you are using.

Look at /home/stanbol-trunk/entityhub/ldpath/target/surefire-reports if you want details of the test errors.

If you want to install the lib anyway you can run mvn clean install -DskipTests

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Right Click on project -> "Run as Maven Test". This will automatically download the missing plugin. & after that, Right Click on project ->"Update Maven project" it removes the error

Answer 3

@SpringBootApplication annotation contains these configurations.

1) @Configuration

2) @ComponentScan

3) @EnableAutoConfiguration

@EnableAutoConfiguration is the reason for this error. This will try to automatically configure application according to dependencies in your pom.xml

As a example when you have spring-data-jpa dependency in pom it will try to add configuration to application by looking at application.properties file for data source. So you need add data source to solve that.

mvn clean install -DskipTests will help you to skip testing until you solve the error.

Answer 4

If You are facing above problem while building your maven project. Then please try to put below code in you pom.xml file.

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.19.1</version>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

Problem might be occurring because version of surefire plugin might be incorrect or not downloaded.

Answer 5

Also, this issue may occur if you changed the path to your tests. In that case, the tests cannot be found and therefore executed.

Answer 6

You can add these tag in pom.xml

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.19.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <skipTests>true</skipTests>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
