Maven doesn't build project with surefire plugin in pom - java

I have a maven project with Selenium WebDriver tests using TestNG. I would like to run tests in groups, thats why is important to have surefire plugin in pom file, thats what i added to pom file:
If i run my project after adding those words using maven(using testNG is still working), i get an error in console and WebDriver doesn't even open.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.15:test
(default-test) on project PORefactor: Execution default-test of goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.15:test failed: There was an error in
the forked process.
and also :
[ERROR] Cannot find class in classpath: com.volnoboy.POImplementation
I tried to refresh and clean project. I moved project to a different computer and error is the same. Internet connection is good. What should i do?

This is my pom
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.15</version>
<configuration>
<!-- <groups>1</groups> -->
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>testSuites\testng1.xml</suiteXmlFile>
<suiteXmlFile>testSuites\testng1.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.15</version>
</plugin>
Try with that plugin.
And of course you need the testng and selenium dependecies in your pom.
Hope it helps.

Good with maven 3.12.0, but 3.13.0:pmd failed: MavenReportException: /workspace/my-project/.out/reports/pmd/pmd.xml (No such file or directory)

Question about maven PMD plugin.
I used to have maven pod plugin version 3.12.0
Very happy with this plugin, it was configured that way, everything was working fine.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.12.0</version>
<configuration>
<targetDirectory>.out/reports/pmd</targetDirectory>
<outputDirectory>target/reports/pmd</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
However, I wanted to upgrade to the newest version 3.13.0 and I am now facing this issue.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.13.0</version>
<configuration>
<targetDirectory>.out/reports/pmd</targetDirectory>
<outputDirectory>target/reports/pmd</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-pmd-plugin:3.13.0:pmd (default-cli) on project my-project: Execution default-cli of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-pmd-plugin:3.13.0:pmd failed: org.apache.maven.reporting.MavenReportException: /workspace/my-project/.out/reports/pmd/pmd.xml (No such file or directory) -> [Help 1]
This is literally a one character change. The 3.12 version is working perfectly fine, while with 3.13.0, it is failing 100% reproducible.
May I ask what is the issue please?
This is now fixed with version 3.14.0 of the same plugin by PMD team.

How to run Maven Failsafe integration tests from a jar file?

I have a Spring Boot multi module Maven project, I can run integration tests with:
mvn clean verify
and it works well. I now want to run the same integration tests from a container and I don't want to embed all the source code in the container.
My question is : how can I run the Maven Failsafe Plugin without using the source code?
I tried to run the failsafe:integration-test goal and setting the dependenciesToScan parameter, from the command line:
mvn failsafe:integration-test -DdependenciesToScan=com.myorg:proj-tests.jar
but no tests are found.
P.S.1: I've seen this similar question Running spring tests from executable jar. But I don't need to run the tests without Maven. I prefer to run tests from the command line with Maven than adding code or modifying the structure of my project.
P.S.2: I'm using maven-failsafe-plugin 2.22.2 which is the version provided with Spring Boot 2.1.8.
From the docs:
Since version 2.22.0 you can scan for test classes from a project
dependency of your multi-module project.
It means the tests (proj-tests.jar) must be a dependency of the project. As you cannot have a dependency to the tests jar in the same project where you build them, the solution is to have another module or pom file. Example:
<groupId>failsafe.use.jar</groupId>
<artifactId>failsafe-use-jar</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>com.myorg</groupId>
<artifactId>proj-tests</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>tests</classifier>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.2</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The proj-tests is a project dependency and can be created with:
<groupId>com.myorg</groupId>
<artifactId>proj-tests</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
See Guide to using attached tests
To run the integration tests from the container you obviously need all the dependencies installed in the local
(container) maven repository or deployed in remote. Then you can run with:
mvn failsafe:integration-test -DdependenciesToScan=com.myorg:proj-tests
Note that the format of the dependenciesToScan property is groupId:artifactId (you run with the name of jar instead of artifactid)
As another note, for integration tests failsafe searches by default for class files ending in IT (integration test).

How maven pom.xml identifies the testng test cases in a non-standard project structure?

I am completely new to maven and testng. I am using maven as build tool, and testng as my testing framework. I am not following the standard maven project structure. Now I want my pom.xml to execute the test cases in my project. The question is, how pom.xml knows what are the test cases to consider for execution?
If you keep this in a single place you need to set the testClassesDirectory argument of the maven-surefire-plugin configuration:
<project>
[...]
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.17</version>
<configuration>
<testClassesDirectory>path/to/compiled test classes</testClassesDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
[...]
</project>
All of this is well documented in the Maven Surefire Plugin Documentation

Maven "class file for ... not found" compilation error

I have a Maven project. When I try to build it with Maven, I get this error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.
3.2:compile (default-compile) on project myProject: Compilation failure:
Compilation failure:
[ERROR] ClassA.java:[32,38] cannot access ClassB
[ERROR] class file for ClassB not found
ClassB is inside another artifact, and that artifact is in the local repository. In fact, I have no problems building this project with the m2eclipse Maven plugin. It's only when I run mvn compile that the build fails.
What do I have to do to build from the command line?
Eclipse might be bypassing your pom dependencies and 'helping' you by finding a dependency that is not in your pom. Then when you run from command line eclipse isn't there to help anymore. I would double check your pom that you explicitly state dependency. You can also try
mvn dependency:analyze
for more info.
That looks like you have defined a usual class within the src/test/java instead of the src/main/java area which is sometimes the problem cause the eclipse things behaves a little bit different.
add to pom.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
<compilerArguments>
<extdirs>src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\lib</extdirs>
</compilerArguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

How do you create automated tests of a Maven plugin using JUnit?

I've got a (mostly) working plugin developed, but since its function is directly related to the project it processes, how do you develop unit and integration tests for the plugin. The best idea I've had is to create an integration test project for the plugin that uses the plugin during its lifecycle and has tests that report on the plugins success or failure in processing the data.
Anyone with better ideas?
You need to use the maven-plugin-testing-harness,
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.shared</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-testing-harness</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
You derive your unit test classes from AbstractMojoTestCase.
You need to create a bare bones POM, usually in the src/test/resources folder.
<project>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.mydomain,mytools</groupId>
<artifactId>mytool-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<!-- Insert configuration settings here -->
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>mygoal</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Use the AbstractMojoTest.lookupMojo(String,File) (or one of the other variations) to load the Mojo for a specific goal and execute it.
final File testPom = new File(PlexusTestCase.getBasedir(), "/target/test-classes/mytools-plugin-config.xml");
Mojo mojo = this.lookupMojo("mygoal", testPom);
// Insert assertions to validate that your plugin was initialised correctly
mojo.execute();
// Insert assertions to validate that your plugin behaved as expected
I created my a plugin of my own that you can refer to for clarification http://ldap-plugin.btmatthews.com,
If you'd like to see some real-world examples, the Terracotta Maven plugin (tc-maven-plugin) has some tests with it that you can peruse in the open source forge.
The plugin is at: http://forge.terracotta.org/releases/projects/tc-maven-plugin/
And the source is in svn at: http://svn.terracotta.org/svn/forge/projects/tc-maven-plugin/trunk/
And in that source you can find some actual Maven plugin tests at: src/test/java/org/terracotta/maven/plugins/tc/
