No surefire plugin in my pom - How does it show surefire output?

Question

I do not have surefire plug-in entry in my pom. But I get surefure plug-in error, when I run with command:

 mvn test -Dtest=TEstClass

Error:

 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.10:test (default-
 test) on project my-projection: No tests were executed!  (Set -DfailIfNoTests=false to ignore 
 this error.) -> [Help 1]

Where is it coming from?

The super pom for a project includes the surefire plugin. If you run mvn help:effective-pom it will show you the pom which you are in effect using whenever you invoke maven in your project, including everything you inherit from parent pom files, and you'll see that it includes the surefire plugin.

Oh, man. This super POM doesn't include any mentioning of surefire plugin. – Andreas Gelever Sep 12 '19 at 07:49
Just opened super pom of maven 3.6.3 - it does not contain maven-surefire-plugin. But the plugin is present in my effective pom. – Andrei Veshtard Jul 28 '20 at 11:25
These are added as the default plugins to execute for each lifecycle phase, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/72319326/18699445 – slindenau May 20 '22 at 13:12
