provider for @MethodSource not found

Question

I don't understand why the method referenced by @MethodSource is not found. Below is my application test class:

import domain.Game;
import domain.Player;
import org.junit.jupiter.params.ParameterizedTest;
import org.junit.jupiter.params.provider.MethodSource;

import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class GameRepositoryPostgresSpec{

    @ParameterizedTest
    @MethodSource("newGameProvider")
    void create(Game newGame) {

    }

    static Stream<Game> newGameProvider(){
        return Stream.of(
                new Game(new Player(), "", 0, false)
        );
    }
    
}

which gives

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class org.junit.jupiter.engine.descriptor.TestTemplateExtensionContext does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method 'abstract org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExecutableInvoker getExecutableInvoker()' of interface org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtensionContext.

    Suppressed: org.junit.platform.commons.PreconditionViolationException: Configuration error: You must configure at least one set of arguments for this @ParameterizedTest

This is the pom of my application

I'm following the documentation: https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#writing-tests-parameterized-tests

What am I doing wrong?

The definition for your paremeterized tests looks ok so far...but what I'm missing is the definition of your used plugins or more accurately the versions.. like this:

  <build>
    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.3.2</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.3.1</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.3.0</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.12.1</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.2.3</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.1.1</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.1.1</version>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
  </build>

Just as a simple example try the following:

  record Person (String name, int age) {
  }

  static Stream<Person> name() {
    return Stream.of(
        new Person("first", 23),
        new Person("second", 65)
    );
  }

  @ParameterizedTest
  @MethodSource
  void name(Person person) {
    System.out.println("person = " + person);
  }
