I am using the Selenium plugin with Maven and TestNG on Intellij IDEA. I am trying to run the projects from the command line using “mvn clean test”. This command works fine when I make a new project which comes with “MainPageTest.java” as it’s test class. When I change the class/file name to “Runner.java” or anything else I can run it from the IDE but not from the command line. This is the thread when it works.

As you can see, there are no errors, but it is not running the test. I have tried rebuilding the project, running mvn clean install, and adding a testng.xml file but nothing works and there’s no mention of MainPageTest anywhere else in the project / config. Someone please help.
