I want to run test classes whose name end with ResourceTest.java, so I defined following execution.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
<version>2.12.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>resource-tests</id>
<phase>resource-tests</phase>
<goals>
<goal>resource-tests</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<includes>**/*ResourceTest.java</includes>
<!-- <exludes>**/*.java</exludes> -->
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
But I'm not sure how to run this, I've searched a lot and I'm missing something.
I tried surefire:test, it skipped all the test cases as defined in above configuration. So, I tried surefire:resource-tests
, maven is saying no goal is not defined.
I'm using eclipse to run my maven build, by passing these parameters. How can I run by the execution id?
How to select a specific execution when running with surefire:test when I've mulltiple executions defined in my pom?
What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
There are several problems with your current configuration :
maven-surefire-plugin
to be executed in the resource-tests
phase but this phase does not exist. You should delete that declaration to keep the default plugin binding phase, which is test
.resource-tests
but maven-surefire-plugin
does not define such a goal.<includes>
element is ill-defined. There should be a <include>
tag under it.<configuration>
element not for each <executions>
.<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12.2</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/*ResourceTest.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
When you have multiple executions and you want "select" one of them, you can use a profile:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>resource-tests</id>
<properties>
<test-classes>**/*ResourceTest.java</test-classes>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>task-tests</id>
<properties>
<test-classes>**/*TaskTest.java</test-classes>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
with the following plugin configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12.2</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>${test-classes}</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
With such a configuration:
mvn clean test -Presource-tests
, only the classes matching **/*ResourceTest.java
will be testedmvn clean test -Ptask-tests
, only the classes matching **/*TaskTest.java
will be testedIf you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
