How to run my java tests with AspectJ maven plugin

Question

I want to log my tests through AOP. I have class AspectLogger where I have defined pointcut and advices. When I run aspectj:test-compile, in output I see that advices were added to tests. Like

[INFO] Join point 'method-execution(void Back_end_task.APITest.test())' in Type 'Back_end_task.APITest' (APITest.java:22) advised by before advice from 'AspectLogger' (AspectLogger.java:26)

But when I run mvn clean test in output I see errors like this:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: AspectLogger.aspectOf()LAspectLogger;
    at Back_end_task.APITest.test(APITest.java:23)

By searching of this problem, I have found that I should add my project as a dependency to <aspectLibraries> bloc of aspectj-maven-plugin, and add dependency of my project to <dependencies> bloc of pom.xml. But the problem in this:

[FATAL] 'dependencies.dependency MyTraining:project:1.0-SNAPSHOT' for MyTraining:project:1.0-SNAPSHOT is referencing itself

This is link to my project

Please give me advice. What I missed? What wrong I'm doing? I want to learn how to use aspects.

The problem in your build is that you use compile-time weaving, then run the tests with a load-time weaving agent. The latter is not necessary. This commit fixes your build:

I have also improved some more little things in your POM in my GitHub fork and created a pull request for you. Just accept it if you like.
