Configuring TestNG with: org.apache.maven.surefire.testng.conf.TestNG652Configurator#2f410acf

Please provide steps to how to install surefire plugin in Maven. I have googled and found no specific answer. There were lots of answer about the solution but no specific answer on how to install the plugin with steps.
Excpetion I am getting:

Referring to the attached pom.xml file, it is evident that inclusion of the surefire plugin is missing. Maven needs to know what plugin to include and which version. The following is suggested:
Add the Maven Surefire plugin entry in the pom.xml file
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>for example: 2.22.0</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
Then run mvn test
The usage example above has been extracted from here
Going a bit further, you can also include/exclude tests using the configuration schema
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>for example: 2.22.0</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>IncludeTest.java</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>ExcludeTest.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement></build>
A detailed instruction with examples is shown here.
Incase you would like surefire to hook to your testng.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven-surefire-plugin}</version>
<configuration>
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Upon success, the surefire plugin will generate a XML report at target/reports inside your project folder.

After so many researchers i have found the solution for my problem. in first place i thought there is a problem in my pom.xml file. but after make sure my pom.xml is correct i figure out system does not displays/recognized the maven in my machine. (mvn test) .
As the solution i followed below steps and now the system doesn't give me the exception i mentioned above in my question .
open cmd and type mvn test (in my case system didnt recognized the mvn)
Navigate to path > edit the system variables> Environment variables >select system variable- path
enter image description here
3.click on edit button and add the machine path which maven is available in to the end of the available path .
enter image description here
4.click ok
5.open cmd
6.type cmd test <>
7.now you can run your Maven project without the exception i have mentioned in my question :)

Spring-mvc setup issue

I am trying to do the basic Maven-Spring MVC setup in STS, but somehow I am not able to remove the red underline mark. I have attached a screenshot and also POM.xml file as reference. I don't think I have missed anything because I have included spring-wewbmvc, spring-context and log4j as dependency and that should work.
First I created dynamic web project into STS and then converted into Maven Project.
Please find below screenshot of my directory and AppInitializer class.I just want to get compile and produce out output HelloWorld in the console. That's it!

Oh okay, sorry I got it..
added 2 more dependency into POM.xml
<dependency>

<dependency>

and it worked.. surprisingly, I don't knw why .. I thought in spring-context and spring-webmvc would be good enough and it should cover servlet dependency too

Output folders for src/test/java and src/test/resources is /target/classes
and I am getting TestNG class not found in classpath error :
org.testng.TestNGException:
Cannot find class in classpath: testclass file
Earlier this code was working fine. I just tried refractoring the project by changing artifact id of maven project and from then not able to proceed.

Not sure how widely this applies, but I had success with this:
Right click > Java build path > Source
Make sure Include:(All) and Exclude:(None) is checked for all 4 folders
src/main/java
src/main/resources
src/test/java
src/test/resources

You need to add maven surefire plugin to run testNG classes. It's a miracle if you were able to run the tests earlier without this plugin. You have to add below plugin in the build phase to get going.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.20.1</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>Sample.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
If you don't want to include the tests manually then by default, the Surefire Plugin will automatically include all test classes with the following wildcard patterns:
"**/Test*.java"
"**/*Test.java"
"**/*Tests.java"
"**/*TestCase.java"

I think you have to convert non-maven project to maven project
right click on project->Configure->Convert it to Maven

The issue for me was that the "Skip Tests" checkbox was checked.
RClick project -> Run As -> Run Configurations -> Maven Build (select your build configuration) -> Uncheck Skip Tests checkbox
This checkbox prevents Maven from compiling tests
If you want to compile the tests, but don't want to execute them during build process, add -DskipTests in Goals

Maven compile error for Junit and Selenium

In keeping with the m2e bug/issue, I followed the solution mentioned #SL4j m2e fails to load in Eclipse IDE.
My Pom.xml looks like this (for my JUnit and Selenium dependencies):

However when I do a mvn compile I get the following kind of error:
[ERROR] /path:/to/file/<foldername>/<JUnitClassName>.java:[9,17] package org.junit does
not exist
I am new to maven, is there something that I am doing wrong here.

In your <dependencies> list, you specified JUnit with the scope of test, which means that it is only included in the jar when you do mvn test, but not included in mvn compile. If you want JUnit to be included in your final jar, change the <scope>test</scope> to <scope>compile</scope> or you can jsut remove the tine, they both do the same.
TL;DR use mvn test to test your application; or change <scope>test</scope> to <scope>compile</scope> in the junit dependeny decleration.
I did the same thing when I first started using maven, almost everyone does :P

dependencies.dependency.version' is missing error

I am trying to create a bundle using apache maven. When I run mvn clean install command it is giving the below error:
dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for
javax.servlet:servlet-api.jar
I have placed that ‘servlet-api.jar’ inside resource folder of my project
Could any anyone please tell where should I place that jar file?

You haven't added the version tag in dependency.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version> //Add the version.
</dependency>

I had this same error for a slightly different reason.
My project uses dependency management (has 2 <dependencyManagement> sections for some reason) and has many modules and sub-modules.
Top level pom had:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>
<version>${spark.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencyManagement>
Sub-level pom had
<dependencyManagement>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencyManagement>
Leaf pom had
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>
</dependency>
To fix it I removed the <dependencyManagement> section from the mid-level pom and changed the leaf pom to have
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-core_2.10</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

The message is quite clear: inside the dependencies element of your pom, you have a dependency element with the artefact javax.servlet:servlet-api.jar. And inside this dependency element, there must be a version element, but you didn't provide it.
<dependencies>
<!-- Provided APIs -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<!-- missing version here: -->
<version>3.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Note that 3.0 is just an example. Provide the right version.
