Tests work in Eclipse, but not Maven (yes, another one)

[duckpuppy]

I've tried searching around the web and these forums for a solution to my problem, but nothing is working out.

I have a seemingly not uncommon problem - my tests run successfully in Eclipse using "Run As > JUnit Test", but "maven clean test" produces failures and errors.

First, some setup info:

Eclipse 3.6.2
Maven 2.2.1
Java 1.6.0_24

in my pom.xml dependencies

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.junit</groupId>
			<artifactId>com.springsource.org.junit</artifactId>
			<version>4.8.1</version>
			<scope>test</scope>
		</dependency>

and my surefire config (the one that is closest to working, as measured by number of failures and errors)

			<plugin>
				<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
				<configuration>
					<junitArtifactName>org.junit:com.springsource.org.junit</junitArtifactName>
					<testFailureIgnore>false</testFailureIgnore>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>

and test classes are annotated thus:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
//ApplicationContext will be loaded from "classpath:/services/spring/sdk/service/TestServiceAspect-context.xml"
@ContextConfiguration

I've been trying for 2 days to figure out what's going on. Anyone have any ideas on what I can try? There's no extra versions of Spring or JUnit when I run "mvn dependency:tree", everything compiles fine, and I see logging output from the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner class, so it's being invoked (I have a log4j.properties in src/test/resources that sends all logging output to target/test.log).

Just stop using the JUnit bundled with Spring and start using the unbundled version:

<dependency>
			<groupId>junit</groupId>
			<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
			<version>4.8.1</version>
			<scope>test</scope>
		</dependency>

This should solve your problems.

That's what was there when the problem started. I changed to the Spring bundled one in hopes that it would work better. The configurations below have exactly the same problems.

<dependency>
	<groupId>junit</groupId>
	<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
	<version>4.8.1</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

<plugin>
	<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
	<configuration>
		<testFailureIgnore>false</testFailureIgnore>
	</configuration>
</plugin>
