Maven separate Unit Test and Integration Tests

Question

UT = Unit Tests IT = Integration Tests. All my Integration test classes are annotated with @Category(IntegrationTest.class)

My goal is:

mvn clean ins

Answer 1

The solution is this:

  
    
      
        
          org.apache.maven.plugins
          maven-surefire-plugin
          2.19.1
        
        
          org.apache.maven.plugins
          maven-failsafe-plugin
          2.19.1
        
      
    
   
      
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-compiler-plugin
        3.6.1
        
          1.7
          1.7
        
      
      
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-failsafe-plugin
      
      
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-surefire-plugin
        
          ${surefire.skip}
        
        
          
            
              integration-test
              verify
            
          
        
      
    
  
  
    
      junit
      junit
      4.12
      test
    
  

This will let you control which is executed.

running UT and IT's:

mvn clean verify

running IT's but NOT UT's

mvn clean verify -Dsurefire.skip=true 

running UT but not IT's:

mvn clean verify -DskipITs=true 

You need to follow the naming conventions of the plugins which makes life easier.

Naming conventions for maven-surefire-plugin (unit tests). Naming conventions for maven-failsafe-plugin (integration tests).
