Failure When Compiling Tests
My application is laid out precisely according to the Maven layout conventions. I can compile my source just fine and package it and everything! However, when I run my tests from the command line with mvn test, I get a "cannot find symbol" error referencing one of my source files--indeed, the class I actually want to test. I am sure this is something silly, but is there anything special I have to do for Maven to look at target/classes in the classpath?
Incidentally, when I run the test goal from within IntelliJ (rather than the command line as above), I don't get that "cannot find symbol" error but simply find this:
[INFO] [compiler:testCompile {execution: default-testCompile}]
[INFO] Not compiling test sources
[INFO] [surefire:test {execution: default-test}]
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
I imagine this result is for the same reason as the other, but are there any IntelliJ users out there who can also shed light on why the reporting would be different?
Thanks.

That is actually all it took. Things ran fine. I knew it had to be something trivial, so thanks for that.
Now my goal is to figure out how to get IntelliJ to always run clean before it runs test.
Thanks again.

Can you run "mvn clean test -e" and post the trace please?
