Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin

Question

I am executing a selenium webdriver maven project on remote webdrivers and everytime I run it the actual test case passes but the build fails due to the following error

This is the output of my run in console. Please can someone help me to resolve this issue.

Why do you use maven-surefire-plugin for integration tests. For integration tests the maven-failsafe-plugin is the better choice. — khmarbaise
Hi Kkuilla,the command I run is just the usual maven command which is clean compile test. I dont have the failsafe plugin in my pom. Should I add it and give it a try — Krish Murthy
Maybe not related, but why such an old version of maven-surefire-plugin? — Aleksandr M
Thats because I tried some resolution posted in stackoverflow. Hence the low version. I even tried with 2.17 but no luck — Krish Murthy

Try removing the forkMode config property. Move to latest version of surefire.
