Service test succeeds in VSCode IDE but fails using Mvn install with classnotfoundException on DAO

Question

The following service test fails as it cannot find the DAO using Springboot3

When the test is executed using MVN install it fails but succeeds with executing using VSCode/Run test via IDE.

Since VSCode executes successfully I believe most components are in place however, since MVN fails perhaps I've not configured MVN but not sure what to review

This is a multimodule structure with a parent POM containing all the common dependencies whilst the child POM contains the specific dependencies. The following testing references a DAO in another maven dependency jar as shown below.

Service Pom/Dependency:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>au.com.cs.inventory</groupId>
        <artifactId>inv-data</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

I'm out of ideas so any idea would be greatly appreciated.
