testng: There was an error in the forked process

@asangak - The logs clearly tell you the problem

Cannot find class in classpath: testRunner

Please fix this by ensuring that:

1. You are referring to the fully qualified class name of the test class.
2. That the test class actually resides in src/test/java

Hi,

I am updating my JDK from 1.7 to 1.8. There are no compilation errors. - mvn clean compile test-compile works fine. Below are the versions of dependencies which I am using: TestNG - 6.14.3 (We were on 6.9.10) Maven Surefire Plugin - 2.21.0 Maven Compiler Plugin - 3.0

We have a QA framework which is introduced as dependency in pom.xml in all our projects. We have testng depdendency in QA framework pom.xml as well :

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
	<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
	<version>6.14.3</version>
	<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

When I do mvn install, I get the following error:

[ERROR] org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooterForkException: There was an error in the forked process

When I try to run my test project via testng.xml or just a single test class, I get the following error:

[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 6.14.3
org.testng.TestNGException:

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
