Maven : No tests were executed

I am abe to run my Junit runner for Cucumber using maven command line. My runner file is located in /src/java/test/Runners/ directory. Following is the command that I am using:
mvn surefire:test -Dtest=OneTest.java
Following is my Cucumber Test Runner
import io.cucumber.junit.Cucumber;
import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
#RunWith(Cucumber.class)
#CucumberOptions(
plugin = {"summary","pretty","com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter:", "json:target/cucumber-report/TestResult.json"},
monochrome = false,
features = "src/test/resources/features/SampleTestFeatures/SampleTest.feature",
glue="Steps")
public class OneTest{
}
I am able to run the tests via command line but after the tests have passed, the build fails giving the following error:
1 Scenarios (1 passed)

I have tried different versions of surefire plugin but in vain. The test passes all the time even if I launch it directly from the Test Runner as well as via maven command but via maven the build is always marked as failed. If anyone could point me where this error is coming from, it'd be of great help.
UPDATE:
I know the following is not a smart option but replacing the maven surefire plugin like the following fixed my issue without modifying any other dependecy in the pom
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.2</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-junit47</artifactId>
<version>2.22.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>
<parallel>both</parallel>
<threadCount>4</threadCount>
<includes>
<include>**/*Test</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
It works for Junit Runner Classes but not for TestNG. My tests are now passed and the maven build succeeds as well. If anyone has more generic way of implementing the same for both TestNG and Junit Runner classes, would be absolutely brilliant.

I believe the reason you are seeing the error is due to the way you are passing the test argument.
As per the Maven Surefire's official documentation, you need to pass test class name.
So change your command line argument to -Dtest=OneTest
Edit: Ignore the above answer.
After looking at your pom.xml, one thing is certain that some older version of cucumber-core dependencies were included and also testng dependencies were included. I excluded those dependencies and it's working fine now.
Also, one of the plugin (com.aventstack.extentreports.cucumber.adapter.ExtentCucumberAdapter:) is not compatible with cucumber version > 4.2.0. See this blog. So I removed that plugin.

But while i perform a build i get the below error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
com.liferay.maven.plugins:liferay-maven-plugin:6.2.1:build-css
(default) on project myNewProject: null: MojoExecutionException:

My questions are:
What is it causing a null pointer exception while i am performing the build?

This issue happened on my Mac.
I used JAVA_HOME=/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8 to switch to JDK 8
echo $JAVA_HOME shows
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home
Turns out this JDK version is problematic.
I fixed it by using JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_341.jdk/Contents/Home (after installing an official JDK8)
Now echo $JAVA_HOME shows
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_341.jdk/Contents/Home

First of all you need to check the liferay version that you are using if it is mentioned in your pom.xml.
Also, the error can be thrown when you try to build your Liferay project using an old version of Maven. Check your Maven Version that you are using using command
mvn -version
Also the JDK that you are using should be correctly mentioned in your POM.xml.
I find comment from khmarbaise as correct because the version might also have been conflicted. Hope this helps.

compile assembly:single error

I used to compile my project using this command
mvn clean compile assembly:signle
It always worked until today when I got this error
Could not find goal 'signle' in plugin
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.2-beta-5 among
available goals directory, assembly, directory-single, attached,
single, help, unpack, directory-inline -> [Help 1]

I didn't change pom.xml. any idea how can I fix this?

You have an error in calling maven:
mvn clean compile assembly:signle
^^^
It must be
mvn clean compile assembly:single
