#SelectPackages not working with Maven CLI - junit4

Question

I run mvn clean package and all other tests run except the suite test. I'm running both Junit 4 and 5 tests - #Rules tests run and #RegisterExtension/#ExtendWith tests also run. Not sure why the suite will not run - any ideas?
The code follows:
Test suite
#SelectPackages("com.company.platform.test.suite")
#IncludeClassNamePatterns({"^.*Suite$"})
public class SuiteTest {
}
Test being called by SuiteTest
import org.assertj.core.api.Assertions;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
public class TestingSuite {
#Test
public void add_2_plus_1(){
Assertions.assertThat(2 + 1).isEqualTo(3);
}
}

Answer 1

So I replicated your problem. When running
mvn clean test
i got the following output (among many others):
Juli 23, 2019 8:17:30 VORM. org.junit.vintage.engine.discovery.DefensiveAllDefaultPossibilitiesBuilder$DefensiveAnnotatedBuilder buildRunner
WARNING: Ignoring test class using JUnitPlatform runner: com.example.project.SuiteTest
That's why I looked up the code of DefensiveAllDefaultPossibilitiesBuilder$DefensiveAnnotatedBuilder and found the following comment:
/**
* Customization of {#link AnnotatedBuilder} that ignores classes annotated
* with {#code #RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class)} to avoid infinite recursion.
*/
private static class DefensiveAnnotatedBuilder extends AnnotatedBuilder {...}
This strongly suggests that suites using #RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class) are ignored when run through the platform mechanism. You might ask the junit 5 team if there is an explicit way to switch that security mechanism off but I'd guess there is none.
I suggest you extend the configuration of maven-surefire-plugin to mimic what you do in the suite:
#SelectPackages("com.company.platform.test.suite")
#IncludeClassNamePatterns({"^.*Suite$"})
can be translated into something like
<include>com.company.platform.test.suite/*Suite.java</include>
I didn't test it though.
