Test cases are not running when doing a mvn clean install but the project is compiling success

Question

But when I am running the individual test case by right click and run as junit test, they are executing successfully. I am using junit 4. Just to update that I have explicitly created package under src/test/java and deleted the default test class that used to come by default when creating a maven project. Is there any place to specify the test package in pom? Below is the pom file:

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

import org.junit.Test;

import org.mockito.Mock;

import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class MyControllerTest {

    @Mock
    MyService myService;
    @InjectMocks
    private MyController myController;

    @Test
    public void testPostData() {
        when(myService.postLRAData()).thenReturn(" Data saved to DB successfully!!");
        ResponseEntity<String> response = new ResponseEntity<String>("Data saved to DB successfully!!",
                HttpStatus.CREATED);
        assertEquals(response, myController.postLRAData());
    }

}

And the project structure is: project dir structure

Answer 1

Test cases are successfully running when mvn clean install

then required one plugin in pom.xml

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.17</version>
    <configuration>
        <test>**</test>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

** -> qualified name of test class with extension.java

for example:

package com.test;

import org.junit.Test;
public class Check {

    @Test
    public void test() {
    
        //test cases logic
    }
}

like: com.test.Check.java

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.17</version>
    <configuration>
        <test>com.test.Check.java</test>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

After that run mvn clean install
