I have successfully built Kafka with ./gradlew installAll. Any troubleshooting tips?

How did you manage to solve this problem? I also faced with it

[Kaurgurjot]

I am also facing similar issue.
``[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.21.0:test (default-test) on project dtp-loft-tests: groups/excludedGroups require TestNG or JUnit48+ on project test classpath -> [Help 1]

@Kaurgurjot @anhtv08 I was able to get around this error by adding junit as a dependency in pom.xml to include it in my project like so

<dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>4.12</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

however this was in the context of smaller avro registry maven project I'm getting up and running and not related to this common-utils project.

Not sure if this is the valid solution but thought I'd share how I got through it!

If you're using junit 5, the addition of the following dependency should solve the problem.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
    <version>5.7.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Just had same problem, one module failed on build.
It hasn't any tests in it, but has empty src/test/java folder with some empty packages and empty src/test/resources.
I completely removed src/test folder, now build is successful.

If you delete the target folder it works.
