I, along with two other people on my team, have spent days and days now trying to figure out why we cannot get Surefire to execute JUnit 5 tests. We've all been working independently, so we don't all take the same path, but it didn't really matter, as all three of us are pretty much stuck at the same point. We can execute JUnit 5 tests in Eclipse, but Surefire just refuses to have anything to do with JUnit 5 tests. We've all read numerous threads and posts on how to do it, and it just does not work.
Most recently, I posted this question with some details of what I had done so far: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71531001/why-is-surefire-not-executing-my-junit5-tests . I have no idea whether the problems lie in JUnit 5, or in Surefire, or some combination. I wish I could get some debug output that told me SOMETHING. It just does not run JUnit 5 tests.
