Maven doesn't run my Appium(selenium) tests

Question

My JDK is 1.8 version, Surefire is 2.22.2, Maven is 3.6.3. I am using junit and spring annotations.
When I try to run my tests with mavn test command, I get no errores, I get success build and no cases run.

Running testCases.TestLogin Configuring TestNG with: org.apache.maven.surefire.testng.conf.TestNG652Configurator@7bb11784 Tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.808 sec

When I run the class using IntellIJ UI runner, the cases are run correctly. My class name starts with Test*. Here is my test code.

package testCases;

import appium.AppiumController;
import org.junit.*;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Description;
import screens.HomeScreen;
import screens.LoginScreen;

public class TestLogin extends AppiumController {
protected static LoginScreen loginScreen;
protected static HomeScreen homeScreen;

@BeforeClass
public static void setUp() throws Exception {
    startAppium();
    loginScreen = new LoginScreen(driver, wait);
    homeScreen = new HomeScreen(driver, wait);
}

@After
public void afterEach() {
    loginScreen.appReset();
}

@Test
@Description("Verify user can login with valid credentials")
public void validLoginTest() throws Exception {
    loginScreen.login("admin", "admin");
    Assert.assertTrue("Home screen is not visible\n", homeScreen.isHomeScreenVisible());
}

@Test
@Description("Verify user can not login with invalid credentials")
public void invalidLoginTest() throws Exception {
    loginScreen.login("admin1", "admin1");
    Assert.assertFalse("Home screen is visible\n", homeScreen.isHomeScreenVisible());
}

@AfterClass
public static void tearDown() throws Exception {
    stopAppium();
} 

What is the problem and how can I run the test cases using command line?

You may be having both TestNg and Junit dependencies in the POM.xml

As per documentation of maven-surefire-plugin plugin for TestNg .You may want to run two providers, e.g. surefire-junit47 and surefire-testng, and avoid running JUnit tests within surefire-testng provider by setting property junit=false.
