maven 1 fails when running test

I've changed the junit version from 3.8 to 4.4 in the application use maven 1. For that I change the project.xml, now look like this:

...
<dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.4</version>
      <properties>
<scope>test</scope>
  </properties>
</dependency>
...

I add some tests using annotations like @Test or @Before and those tests run perfect in eclipse. When I try to run "maven test" in console I get the following output:

    test:compile:

The test files that fail have more than one test inside. Maven just doesn't see them. Also when I use maven in debug I see that it loads implicit junit 3.8.

That's why I think somehow the old junit jar is been used. I just don't know where or how to detect it.

Any help, advise, ray of light will be appreciated.

Try finding out why its loading junit 3.8. You can use mvn dependency:tree and then based on the result exclude it specifically.

I'm not aware of the <properties> element with a scope having any meaning in the way you've used it, unless another plugin needed it. It looks like you've tried to force a Maven 2 concept into Maven 1.

You could try setting the maven.test.classpath property to help it pick up the JUnit JAR. I don't make any guarantees about this working - JUnit 4 was never supported in Maven 1.x, and Maven 1.x has not been actively developed for over 4 years now. As you'll see, all the other responders are answering with answers only relevant to Maven 2 - you should strongly consider updating your build.

try using the latest one (though it in itself probably won't fix your issue here), also use

mvn -X clean test

and include the stactrace in your original post.

<dependency>
  <groupId>junit</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
  <version>4.8.2</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

You can also look at the output produced by the following and exclude the junit 3.8 jar

mvn dependency:tree

Try this:

Add an adapter in your tests :
    /**
     * @return instance of this as Junit test case
     */
    public static junit.framework.Test suite ()
    {
        return new JUnit4TestAdapter(IntTestSpringCoherency.class);
    }

Taken from: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Can-maven-1-x-run-Junit-4-tests-td92773.html

A possible solution/workaround:

public void AClassUnitTest {
public static junit.framework.Test suite ()
    {
        return new JUnit4TestAdapter(AClassUnitTest.class);
    } 


    @Test
    public method_income_expected(){
    ...
    }

}

Thanks!
