java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.junit.platform.commons.util.ReflectionUtils.tryToLoadClass Migrating to 5.4.0

JDK: 11

Spring Boot: 2.1.2.RELEASE

JUnit: 5.4.0

Maven: 3.6.0

Surefire: 3.0.0-M3



At first, I got the following error running the tests on IntelliJ and using the command mvn clean install:

```

[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M3:test (default-test) @ xxxxx ---

WARNING: TestEngine with ID 'junit-jupiter' failed to execute tests

```



After adding this dependency, I could run the tests in IntelliJ but not using Maven:

```

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>

            <artifactId>junit-platform-launcher</artifactId>

            <version>1.4.0</version>

            <scope>test</scope>

        </dependency>

```



Rolling back to version 5.3.2 solves the problem
