Problem-Error: “Annotation processing is enabled because one or more processors were found  on the class path.”. It appear twice in the console tab. it makes the Build success but it never executes the xml file indicated in the “<suiteXmlFiles><suiteXmlFile>Groups.xml</suiteXmlFile></suiteXmlFiles>”

Solution: Well, we don’t need to use junit.jupiter dependency. However, if the problem is not fixed yet, you can follow the following steps

1. Check your pom.xml configuration

Make sure you are using the maven-surefire-plugin and have configured the TestNG suite XML correctly:

<build>

    <plugins>

        <plugin>

            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

            <version>3.0.0-M9</version> <!– Use a stable recent version –>

            <configuration>

                <suiteXmlFiles>

                    <suiteXmlFile>Groups.xml</suiteXmlFile>

                </suiteXmlFiles>

            </configuration>

        </plugin>

    </plugins>

</build>

✅ Ensure the Groups.xml file is placed at the root level of your project (same level as src and pom.xml), or provide the correct relative path.

2. Try running with explicit Maven goals:

mvn clean test -DsuiteXmlFile=Groups.xml

3. Add verbose logging to see what’s happening:

<configuration>

    <suiteXmlFiles>

        <suiteXmlFile>Groups.xml</suiteXmlFile>

    </suiteXmlFiles>

    <redirectTestOutputToFile>false</redirectTestOutputToFile>

    <printSummary>true</printSummary>

    <useFile>false</useFile>

</configuration>

By adding verbose logging as mentioned in point #3, here’s exactly what you can expect:

The configuration options I suggested will make Maven Surefire provide more detailed output during test execution:

• <redirectTestOutputToFile>false</redirectTestOutputToFile>: This ensures test output is printed directly to the console instead of being saved to files.
• <printSummary>true</printSummary>: This will print a summary of test results at the end of execution.
• <useFile>false</useFile>: This prevents Surefire from creating separate report files and instead keeps all output in the console.

With these settings, you should see:

1. More detailed information about which tests are being discovered
2. The exact test classes and methods being executed
3. Any initialization errors that occur before tests run
4. Clear indication if your XML suite file is being found and processed
5. Errors or exceptions that might be occurring during test setup

This verbose output should help you identify why your Groups.xml isn’t being executed. You might discover issues like:

• The XML file isn’t being found in the expected location
• There are syntax errors in your XML file
• The test classes referenced in your XML don’t exist or have errors
• There are classpath or dependency issues preventing test execution

If the tests in Groups.xml still don’t run after adding verbose logging, the detailed output should give you clues about what’s going wrong in the test discovery and execution process.

Problem: No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?

Solution: Follow the solution 2 or 3 as per this link ->

Problem: Maven build Compilation error ‘Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project Maven’ 

OR: After adding Extentreport file, Maven build is not working.

Solution: Follow either one or both solutions. 

1.Need to configuration maven-compiler-plugin in Pom.Xml file as below, save and run again. To know more, click here ->

<project>
<properties>
<maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>
</Project>


2.Follow the below instruction if the issue is still happening:

-Open pom.xml file.
-Go to “Dependencies” tab.
-Select “testng” package and click on “Properties…”
-On opened screen change “Scope” option to “compile” and click “OK” to save it.
-Try to build your project again with “compile test” goals

Problem: The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly

This environment variable is needed to run this program

NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE

Solution: Follow this Link->

---

Problem: NoGoalSpecifiedException

Solution: Define a default goal in your POM as shown below

---

Problem: Maven build Compilation error : Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project Maven.

Solution: 

1. Add following properties

<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

2. Add default goal under build tag:

<build>
<defaultGoal>install</defaultGoal>

</build>

3. Make sure you have the necessary dependencies.

4. Clean Project: Project> clean

5. Update Project: Right click on Project>Maven> update Project

6. Build and run the project
