Test Failure : java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext

I have a project that runs correctly in the IDE, but when I tried bundle it into a "jar" file using the "mvn" command it fails due to "Test Failure": java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext.

Here is the test class (the default one):

package com.example.businesslogicserver;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;

@SpringBootTest
class BusinessLogicServerApplicationTests {

    @Test
    void contextLoads() {
    }

}

the application class

package com.example.businesslogicserver;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

@SpringBootApplication
public class BusinessLogicServerApplication {
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(BusinessLogicServerApplication.class);

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SpringApplication.run(BusinessLogicServerApplication.class, args);
        logger.info("Your Spring Boot Application has started successfully...");
    }
}
