org.apache.maven.plugins.enforcer.RequireUpperBoundDeps failed with message:

When I run mvn clean install I got those errors, what's the correct way to fix this issue? I tried to change the version of junit-jupiter to 5.7.0 but it causes more errors, can anyone help me with that?

Solution

  • The rule seems to enforce a common upper bounds for a set of dependencies: this may be used to achieve binary compatibility (eg: to ensure that you don't use a lower version that would be incompatible with a transitive dependency you use because its version would be greater).

    spring boot is importing junit at version 5.7.0, but you have specified junit 5.5.2.

    Try to use the highest version (eg: 5.7.0).
