Running cucumber features through Maven is not attempting to run tests

Question

I have some cucumber features that I am able to run find through IDE but now I am needing to execute them through command line with a "mvn test" command.

I have added a new dependency to my pom file for junit-jupiter-api and I have also added a plugin there for maven-surefire-plugin. My pom is pasted below.

But after running "mvn test" I can see the that maven just compiles and doesnt run the tests. I have put the text from CMD below my pom file below.

I sorted this out myself with some more digging about.

I changed the plugin entry in my pom.xml to the following:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.22.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <includes>
                    <exclude>**/*MyRunnerFileNameHere.java</exclude>
                </includes>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

If you import junit 4, all the tests with jupiter (junit 5) will be ignored. You can test it by adding two classes with each version of junit (by adding @Test of each version on each class). Only one version will run.

If you want to use junit 5, don't import junit 4 and add junit-vintage-engine instead. cucumber will use it.

Surefire is not the problem.
