I have a rest Spring Boot REST API that I want to test. I can run the tests manually in Eclipse (without maven and by running the application as JUnit test) and it runs fine and displays the results, but mvn test
does not "work" as you will find out below.
Here is my POM file:

This is the result of mvn test

Here is a segment of my TestController.java class in src/test/java:
@Test
public void f_findByUsername() {
// Finding user with username 'user1username'
given().auth().basic("User1username", "Testpassword").when().get(
"http://localhost:8080/users/get/ByUsername?username=User1username")
.then().assertThat().body("username", is("User1username"));
}
At the top of the TestController class I have these annotations:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = Application.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
/* Tells the embedded Tomcat server to start on a random, open port */
@IntegrationTest("server.port:0")
@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
public class TestController {....}
I'm not sure whats wrong. I don't have the surefire plugin but its looking for that it seems.
