Root Cause

Misuse of @Disabled annotation, or test runner ignores @Disabled due to configuration.

generic

中文

@Disabled 注解使用不当，或测试运行器因配置忽略 @Disabled。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Ensure @Disabled is on test method or class 
    @Disabled("Reason")
@Test
void test() {
    // disabled
}
  2. 80% success Check build configuration for JUnit vintage engine 
    // Ensure no conflicting test runners
// Remove junit-vintage-engine if using JUnit 5 only

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Removing @Disabled and commenting test 50% fail

    Test becomes dead code; may be forgotten.

  2. Using @Ignore instead (JUnit 4 style) 40% fail

    JUnit 5 may not recognize @Ignore unless Jupiter API is used.
