[FIXED] "No tests were found" with Junit 5 and IntelliJ

Issue

Q&A-Style question as the existing questions don't match the simple typo I made here:

Goal

• Execute simple JUnit tests via the IntelliJ IDE using the UI (right-click: run test)

Problem

• IntelliJ tells that "no tests were found"

Code

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

public class Test {
    @Test
    private void testAMethod() { (...) }
}

Solution

change to

public void testAMethod() { (...) }

According to Junit5 document

Test classes, test methods, and lifecycle methods are not required to be public, but they must not be private.
