Maven fail-safe not executing tests

May 1, 2023 by Tarik

Your tests are not in the default test sources directory src/test/java. See: https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html myModule/src/main/test/java/ClientAccessIT.java should be: myModule/src/test/java/ClientAccessIT.java You could also update your pom file (if you really wanted tests to live in main) to include: <build> <testSources> <testSource> <directory>src/main/test</directory> </testSource> </testSources> </build>

How can I skip tests in maven install goal, while running them in maven test goal?

This means running the following phases: validate initialize generate-sources process-sources generate-resources process-resources compile process-classes generate-test-sources process-test-sources generate-test-resources process-test-resources test-compile process-test-classes test prepare-package package … Read more

Prevent unit tests but allow integration tests in Maven

October 20, 2022 by Tarik

I found the simplest way to skip only surefire tests is to configure surefire (but not failsafe) as follows: <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.14</version> <configuration> <!– skips surefire tests without skipping failsafe tests. Property value seems to magically default to false –> <skipTests>${skip.surefire.tests}</skipTests> </configuration> </plugin> This allows you to run mvn verify -Dskip.surefire.tests and only surefire, not … Read more
