SpringBootTest annotation cannot be resolved to a type

My SpringBootTest annotation cannot be resolved to a type. There is the same question here but it seems that adding the dependency 

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.5.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

cannot do the trick. Whole problem is that I wanted to use @ContextConfiguration but it is deprecated and suggested way of doing things is using the @SpringBootTest(classes = MyMainClass.class)

maven annotations spring java

After removing the <scope>, i was able to fix my problem

        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-test -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.2.RELEASE</version>
<!-- <scope>test</scope> -->
    </dependency>

Try to use the dependency 2.0.3. I am using this version now. 

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.3.RELEASE</version>
    <!--<scope>test</scope>-->
</dependency>

Version not required to define in test dependency if you are using parent starter, this might be conflicting in loading.

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.5.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

so complete pom would be like this..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"><modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

I would try to use @RunWith annotation and @Test in Spring Test class here i have an example:

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner;

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class YourClassAppTest {

    @Test
    public void contextLoads() {
    }

}

hope it will solve the problem
