I'm trying to create an app using the microservices architecture. So now I'm creating the user service, but I faced with a small problem. I use flyway for database migrations and it doesn't work.
So, I have the big global project that looks like this:
And I also have user service project inside of this global project
In the user_service project I installed some maven dependencies and configured the plugin for flyway migrations.
Heres user_service pom.xml

But when I try to migrate my database by this command:
mvn flyway:migrate
It says me that
Unable to resolve location filesystem:A:/java/projects/postogramm/src/main/java/org/postogramm/service/user_service/src/main/resource
s/db/migration
So what can be the problem? If you know, please tell me. I'd really appreciate it!

Take a look on the marked points I have done for your project structure
You can't have this structure since this is not a standard maven archetype.
I believe you need to remove the marked with green directories and leave out only the red representing the specific user_service java classes and resources.

Build getting succeeded, but test suite is not getting executed from pom.xml with mvn test

I am trying to execute the maven test from pom.xml . All my test are written in testng.xml file and I am able to invoke testng.xml file alone and test is getting executed as expected. But when I try to execute testng.xml from pom.xml using mvn test, though I have called testng.xml file from maven sure fire plugin, only the build is getting succeed and test is not getting executed.
Please find my pom.xml

What is going wrong here. I tried to debug but not getting the exact issue.

mvn appengine:run fails to execute goal com.google.cloud.tools:appengine-maven-plugin:2.2.0:run mvn appengine:deploy works fine

I am following the instructions from https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/building-app/static-content I can deploy my changes and check them using gcloud app browse, but I cannot make the local development environment work.
Running mvn appengine:run -DskipTests returns the following error, and trying mvn package clean beforehand doesn't change it

I had the same build error because of using unmatched JDK version.
Check your JDK version with "java -version". Probably you should use Java8(Java1.8) instead of Open JDK13.

Maven plugin AbstractMojoTestCase PlexusContainerException

I'm trying to create a maven plugin for the first time.
everything works till now except for the testing part.
I want to write some test cases before I start at coding the plugin itself.
I've had really much trouble till now with being able to simply run a test case that doesn't even do anything itself.
I think I'm missing a dependency or that I'm using compatible versions. I've messed much with the versions and the exceptions have changed a lot. But this one keeps coming back.
So when I run mvn test I get the following response from the console:
λ mvn test

TestCase:

public class MojoTest extends AbstractMojoTestCase {
public void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
}
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
super.tearDown();
}
public void testFilePath() throws Exception {
}
}

So after struggling a bit more, I've been able to fix the exceptions.
The main problem wat that my POM was growing a bit big full of unnecessary dependencies. I've looked into the git of the maven clean plugin and compared my pom with the pom of the clean plugin. The main issue was, as I expected; I used the wrong versions. I'll post my current pom over here and the link to the maven plugin's git.

Issue with automated test not being found in classpath file

To start, let me just say that I have done quite a bit of research on my own in trying to resolve this issue. I have looked over a bunch of answers here on SO and have tried many of them but, sadly, to no avail.
My current stack is Eclipse (Mars) with Maven and Selenium. When attempting to run my automated tests, I get the following:

That is the full trace of what happened. The issue (as I see it) is with the following lines:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.19:test (default-test) on project automation: Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.19:test failed: There was an error in the forked process
[ERROR] org.testng.TestNGException:

I have tried verifying the classpath entries, and that the surefire plugin is present. In both cases, they are where they should be. I have tried committing files one-at-a-time and that works. It's only when I build that I have an issue, and it is blocking me from running the automation completely.
I am guessing that the issue is likely an easy one to resolve but, the Java/Eclipse stack is not second nature to me like .NET/C# is.
NOTE: I will update the question with new information should it become available.

#sircapsalot - I made the change you suggested below and what happened is that all of the:
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;
Suddenly started throwing warnings in all the classes that had those imports. Thoughts?

According to Maven Central, the version you are requesting isn't there. (you are requesting org.testng:testng:jar:5.14.3)
Try updating to the newest version: 6.9.10 in your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>6.9.10</version>
</dependency>

So, I figured out the issue... It turns out, it was a problem with PEBKAC.
I renamed a file that I had changed yesterday back to its original state and all is well now. Thanks for those that chimed in to help with this!
