Spring Boot to exclude connecting to database during maven build

Question

I have a scenario where I want to deploy the spring boot application in AWS but I just want to ignore the database connections happening internally during build locally as I do not have any test classes and I do not want to include H2 database.Is it not possible to build the jar file to be deployed in AWS without connecting to AWS database?

Application.properties

# ===============================
# = DATA SOURCE
# ===============================

# Set here configurations for the database connection

# Connection url for the database "netgloo_blog"

spring.datasource.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/auto_journey

# Username and password
spring.datasource.username = root
spring.datasource.password =auto123

# Keep the connection alive if idle for a long time (needed in production)
#spring.datasource.testWhileIdle = true
#spring.datasource.validationQuery = SELECT 1

# ===============================
# = JPA / HIBERNATE
# ===============================

# Use spring.jpa.properties.* for Hibernate native properties (the prefix is
# stripped before adding them to the entity manager).

# Show or not log for each sql query
spring.jpa.show-sql = true

# Hibernate ddl auto (create, create-drop, update): with "update" the database
# schema will be automatically updated accordingly to java entities found in
# the project
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update

# Naming strategy
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming-strategy = org.hibernate.cfg.ImprovedNamingStrategy

# Allows Hibernate to generate SQL optimized for a particular DBMS
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect

Answer 1

Include this in pom.xml to solve the problem.

<plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <skipTests>true</skipTests>
                </configuration>
    </plugin>

Answer 2

mvn clean install -DskipTests will work i think

Answer 3

Have similar issue, there is no need to disable all test with this plugin.

Just above main test class comment out or delete annotation:

//@SpringBootTest

Then when Maven build app, it will still run tests inside this class but will not run SpringBoot app, so will not test connection to DB and build will be successful.
