Can't run a unit test from Netbeans

For over a decade I've been able to run unit tests from within Netbeans. This broke within the past year or so, perhaps with a JUnit upgrade? I'm not sure.

These days, when I click "Run -> Test File" like this...

... I get errors like this:

cd /Users/PDurbin/github/iqss/dataverse; JAVA_HOME=/Users/PDurbin/.sdkman/candidates/java/17.0.11-tem "/Applications/Apache NetBeans.app/Contents/Resources/netbeans/java/maven/bin/mvn" -Dtest=edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.util.json.JsonUtilTest --no-transfer-progress surefire:test
Running NetBeans Compile On Save execution. Phase execution is skipped and output directories of dependency projects (with Compile on Save turned on) will be used instead of their jar artifacts.

As a workaround I've been running tests from the command line like this...

... but it would be much more convenient to be able to run test from Netbeans again, as discussed in Slack.

Start with pom.xml and compare the JaCoCo prepare-agent setting for surefire.jacoco.args with the Maven command NetBeans runs for Test File. Reproduce the failure with edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.util.json.JsonUtilTest, then verify that the NetBeans test action runs the test successfully and produces the expected result.
