Is there a way in Maven to compile the tests without running them ? I want to use the IDE to run specific tests and not all of them.
To skip running the tests for a particular project, set the skipTests property to true. You can also skip the tests via the command line by executing the following command: mvn install -DskipTests.
mvn compile: Compiles source code of the project. mvn test-compile: Compiles the test source code. mvn test: Runs tests for the project. mvn package: Creates JAR or WAR file for the project to convert it into a distributable format.
In Maven, you can define a system property -Dmaven. test. skip=true to skip the entire unit test. By default, when building project, Maven will run the entire unit tests automatically. If any unit tests is failed, it will force Maven to abort the building process.
How about the test-compile
lifecycle phase? It doesn't require any test skipping, because it occurs before the test
phase. I.e.,
$ mvn test-compile
And done.
Introduction to the Build Lifecycle explains further.
To just compile the tests and code, without running them, just do:
mvn test-compile
