Gitlab CI/CD for java spring maven application - maven

Question

I am new to Gitlab CI/CD and would like to understand how to use it correctly.
I have the following project structure:

Can you help me please configure .gitlab-ci.yml and CI Lint on GitLab in order to test correctly build, test and deploy?
When I added default pipeline on GitLab it always fails in test stage with the following error:
Failed to bind properties under '' to com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource:
Property: driverclassname
Value: org.postgresql.Driver
Origin: "driverClassName" from property source "source"
Reason: Failed to load driver class org.postgresql.Driver in either of HikariConfig class loader or Thread context classloader

.gitlab-ci.yml template that i added is:
# This file is a template, and might need editing before it works on your project.

# Build JAVA applications using Apache Maven (http://maven.apache.org)
# For docker image tags see https://hub.docker.com/_/maven/

#
# This template will build and test your projects as well as create the documentation.
#
# * Caches downloaded dependencies and plugins between invocation.
# * Verify but don't deploy merge requests.
# * Deploy built artifacts from master branch only.
# * Shows how to use multiple jobs in test stage for verifying functionality
# with multiple JDKs.
# * Uses site:stage to collect the documentation for multi-module projects.
# * Publishes the documentation for `master` branch.
variables:
# This will supress any download for dependencies and plugins or upload messages which would clutter the console log.
# `showDateTime` will show the passed time in milliseconds. You need to specify `--batch-mode` to make this work.

# As of Maven 3.3.0 instead of this you may define these options in `.mvn/maven.config` so the same config is used

.validate: &validate

# Archive up the built documentation site.
artifacts:
paths:
- target/staging

pages:
image: busybox:latest
stage: deploy
script:
# Because Maven appends the artifactId automatically to the staging path if you did define a parent pom,
# you might need to use `mv target/staging/YOUR_ARTIFACT_ID public` instead.
- mv target/staging public
dependencies:
- deploy:jdk8
artifacts:
paths:

only:

on my local environment i usually do:
to start backend:
mvn clean install
spring-boot:run
to start frontend:
ng serve
Thanks in advance
