Description

I am getting the following error in some of my projects:

WARNING: TestEngine with ID 'junit-vintage' failed to discover tests

I was able to reproduce this issue with the surefire-1585-junit4-vintage-it test when junit that it uses is upgraded to 4.13.2. The fix is to update JUnit5 Vintage engine.
