Serenity 4.0.1 : There was an error in the forked process TestEngine with ID 'junit-platform-suite' failed to discover tests

[NandhakumarSubbaiah]

Hi All,
When I tried to migrate serenity 3.x.x to 4.x.x with reference to https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/tutorials/migrating_to_serenity_4 , I am getting "There was an error in the forked process TestEngine with ID 'junit-platform-suite' failed to discover tests" error.

below is the pom.xml I have updated.

This ("There was an error in the forked process TestEngine with ID 'junit-platform-suite' failed to discover tests" error.") is a classic JUnit 5 library compatibility issue. Unfortunately quite tricky to resolve, but it's essentially a dependency conflict. Make sure all the JUnit libraries have the correct versions (and use Serenity 4.0.31).
