Test suites are not executed properly and tests can't be found

Description: I am currently experiencing an issue where my test suite is not being executed. The Maven build process completes without errors, but the tests themselves do not seem to run. This issue is occurring in a Java project where I am using Maven an JUnit5 for build automation and dependency management.

Environment:

• Java Version: 21
• Surefire Plugin Version: 3.1.2
• Testing Framework Used:JUnit5
• Operating System: Windows 11
• IDE: Aqua 233.11555.14 ( couldn't find proper place for this IDE so placed in IntelliJ IDEA as connected with java language)

Issue Details: The Maven build completes successfully, and the mvn test command does not throw any errors. However, it appears that the test suite is not being executed while tests itself run just fine. The expected suite do not run, and no test are found.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

Test Naming Conventions: Verified that the test classes follow Maven's default naming conventions (*Test, Test*, *TestCase). Also checked for any custom includes and excludes patterns in the Surefire configuration.

Directory Structure: Confirmed that all test classes are located in the src/test/java directory.

Compilation: Ensured there are no compilation errors in the test classes.

Test Framework Compatibility: Checked for compatibility issues with the testing framework (e.g., JUnit 5) and the Surefire plugin.

Annotations: Verified that test methods are properly annotated with @Test or similar annotations as required by the testing framework.

Empty Test Classes: Ensured that the test classes contain valid test methods and are not empty.

Verbose Output: Ran Maven with the -X flag (mvn test -X) for detailed debug output but did not find any clear indication of the issue.

Plugin Version Compatibility: Checked for any compatibility issues with the version of the Surefire plugin being used.

Surefire Reports: Reviewed the Surefire reports in target/surefire-reports but found no clues about the issue.

I have also tried running tests separately with mvn test and it is running just fine.
