Running JUnit tests in IntelliJ, getting: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.junit.platform.commons.util.Preconditions.notNull - intellij-idea

Question

I'm trying to run unit tests in IntelliJ, and I'm getting the stack trace:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.junit.platform.commons.util.Preconditions.notNull([Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/String;)[Ljava/lang/Object;

Googling the error message doesn't help - all of the hits I get back have to do with Gradle dependencies, but I'm using Maven (and I've triple-checked my dependencies). Here is my pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0-M3</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0-M3</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-platform-launcher</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-M3</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.12</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
And what's frustrating is that this does actually work in a different project, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong here.

Answer 1

Never mind, I figured it out - in case anybody else has the same problem: It turned out that my unit test was importing org.junit.Test, rather than org.junit.jupiter.api.Test, but I didn't declare a dependency on junit-vintage in my pom.xml. The solution was to either explicitly declare the correct version of junit-vintage in my pom (4.12.0-M3 in my case), or switch my unit tests over to import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test.
