title: Maven BUILD SUCCESSFUL but no tests executed in Selenium
body: <p>EDIT: I've uploaded the project to github for anyone who'd like to take a look <a href="https://github.com/hfunsh/test-automation.git" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hfunsh/test-automation.git</a></p>
  
  <p>I have written a few tests in Selenium using Intellij, the scripts run successfully in the IDE, but when I try to run them from the console I get a "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" message but no test execution. </p>
  
  <p>I'm able to run other Maven Junit projects from the console, so I know this is most likely a configuration issue with my pom file, but I can't figure it out. </p>
  
  <p>Here is an example of one of the Java class names (containing the word Test)</p>
  
  <p>/Users/ser/IdeaProjects/SeleniunTrainingII/src/test/java/com/selenium/tests/junit/tests/TestLoginAmazon.java</p>
  
  <p>2nd EDIT: I've now run "mvn clean verify" as suggested </p>
