I am trying to package my project. But, it automatically runs the tests previous do performing the packaging. The tests insert some content in the database. This is not what I want, I need to avoid running tests while package the application. Anybody knows how run the package with out test?
Run maven with
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip
Just provide the command mentioned below, which will ignore executing the test cases (but will compile the test code):
mvn package -DskipTests
you can add this plugin configuration to your pom if you do not want to set command line arg:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Note that -Dmaven.test.skip prevents Maven building the test-jar artifact.
If you'd like to skip tests but create artifacts as per a normal build use:
-Dmaven.test.skip.exec
If you are trying this in Windows Powershell, you will get this error:
[ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase ".test.skip=true". You must specify a valid lifecycle phase or a goal in the format...
The reason for this is, in Powershell the "-" has special meaning and it is causing problem with maven.
The solution is to prepend it with a backtick (`), like so..
mvn `-Dmaven.test.skip=true install
Reference: http://kuniganotas.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/invalid-task-test-skiptrue-you-must-specify-a-valid-lifecycle-phase/
<properties>
<maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
</properties>
is also a way to add in pom file
In Inllij IDEA there is an option also to skip test goal.
You can pass the maven.test.skip flag as a JVM argument, to skip running tests when the package phase (and the previous ones in the default lifecycle) is run:
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
You can also pass the skipTests flag alone to the mvn executable. If you want to include this information in your POM, you can create a new profile where you can configure the maven-surefire-plugin to skip tests.
You only have to provide
-Dmaven.test.skip
You no longer need to append =true.
Answering an old and accepted question here. You can add this in your pom.xml if you want to avoid passing command line argument all the time:
<properties>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
</properties>
You can add either -DskipTests or -Dmaven.test.skip=true to any mvn command for skipping tests. In your case it would be like below:
mvn package -DskipTests
OR
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
just mvn clean install -DskipTests
A shorthand notation to do maven build and skip tests would be :
mvn clean install -DskipTests
Below two commands are most useful
mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
mvn clean package -DskipTests
Thanks
Tests should always[1] run before package. If you need to turn off the tests, you're doing something wrong. In other words, you're trying to solve the wrong problem. Figure out what your problem really is, and ask that question. It sounds like it's database-related.
[1] You might skip tests when you need to quickly generate an artifact for local, development use, but in general, creating an artifact should always follow a successful test run.
you can use any maven goals like package / clean install
Solution: 1 ( package Goal )
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
mvn package -DskipTests
Solution: 2 ( clean install goals )
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
mvn clean install -DskipTests
Solution: 3 ( in pom.xml file )
you can use maven-skipping-tests in pom file and no need to provide
the attributes like DskipTests,Dmaven.test.skip
Pom.xml
<properties>
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
<maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
</properties>
Later you can use maven command : mvn clean install/mvn package
Reference: https://www.baeldung.com/maven-skipping-tests
For maven package without infecting maven test:
<properties>
<maven.test.failure.ignore>true</maven.test.failure.ignore>
</properties>
In Intellij, go to View -> Tool Windows -> choose Maven Projects.
On the Lifecyle dropdown, right-click on package -> choose Create 'your-project [package]'...
Enter this value: package -Dmaven.test.skip=true -f pom.xml in the Command line field. Click Apply and a Run Configurations dropdown menu should appear along with your created custom maven command.
Those who don't want to skip the test cases.
just above the main test class comment out or delete annotation:
//#SpringBootTest
Then when Maven builds an app, it will still run tests inside this class but will not run SpringBoot app, so will not test the connection to DB and the build will be successful.
You are, obviously, doing it the wrong way. Testing is an important part of pre-packaging. You shouldn't ignore or skip it, but rather do it the right way. Try changing the database to which it inserts the data(like test_db). It may take a while to set it up. And to make sure this database can be used forever, you should delete all the data by the end of tests. JUnit4 has annotations which make it easy for you. Use #Before, #After #Test annotations for the right methods. You need to spend sometime on it, but it will be worth it!
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
worked for me since the -Dskip did not work anymore.
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
The best and the easiest way to do it, in IntelliJ Idea in the window “Maven Project”, and just don’t click on the test button. I hope, I helped you. Have a good day :)

I'm trying to execute a maven command like the following:
mvn clean install -f ../<some-path>/pom.xml -Pear -DskipTests
For some reason this command is not working correctly. The profile is not getting applied. What is the problem here?
I think maybe -f doesn't work as you think it does. See this answer: How to run Maven from another directory (without cd to project dir)?
If your project uses relative pom locations, this breaks.
See also: https://maven.apache.org/plugin-developers/common-bugs.html#Resolving_Relative_Paths
cd ..
call mvn -DskipTests -Pear clean install
cd <some-path>
I did it like this now and it works. Thanks for #Adriaan Koster for the hint with the relative poms. That seems to have been it. And maybe i should use absolute paths instead :)
while executing mvn clean install -DskipTests I want to exclude a file com.java.test.Test.java from build path(as it has some error). How to do that?
You can use the <exclude> tag in your pom.xml to exclude files in Maven. For more information see https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html
Another way is adding the class to an exclusion pattern as an argument like:
mvn clean install -Dtest="*,!Test"
For more information see
Skip single test with maven with command line options
In our maven project, we have integration test that sets all sorts of things on the integration test server.
I want to be be able to easily clean this things in a command. I want to be able to run:
mvn integration-clean
And this will clean all the things on the server, by running some cleaning mojos from my maven plugin.
How should this be done?
These are the commands in order to perform a complete integration test:
Step 1: mvn deploy
Step 2: mvn integration-test
Finally do a complete clean install in order to update the changes.
Step 3: mvn clean install
You could refer this for the exact life cycle of the build.
You must be having the integration profile defined in settings.xml.
<settings>
...
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>integrationProfile</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
...
</settings>
Assuming the integration profile is active ,
mvn clean install -P integrationProfile
should work for you.
Basically the header says it all, imagine I ran a testsuite, now some of the test have failed and I want to rerun those tests. I know that there is testng-failed.xml file generated by surefire plugin but I don't know how to pass that file as a parameter to TestNG through Maven. This is what I tried but unfortunately none of these commands have worked (they run all the tests again).
mvn verify -DsuiteXmlFile=testng-failed.xml
mvn verify -DsuiteXmlFile=target/surefire-reports/testng-failed.xml
Assuming you are at the root of the project and it has a standard layout, you can run:
mvn -Dsurefire.suiteXmlFiles=target/surefire-reports/testng-failed.xml test
You should try the correct parameter which is based on the documentation
mvn -Dsurefire.suiteXmlFiles=testng-failed.xml
A little bit late but for all who also stumble upon this question, khmarbaise answer works if you add the appropriate maven lifecycle.
mvn -Dsurefire.suiteXmlFiles=<path to testng-failed.xml> test
I have multiple questions.
Can I specify the pom.xml in mvn command?
Can I mix the goals of another project while executing mvn command on current project ?
Eg: mvn clean-otherproject comple-otherproject instal-otherproject compile-thisproject
I can do this with multiple mvn commands, but Can I do this in single maven command.
Just mvn --help would have answered the first question:
mvn -f otherPomFile.xml
No. You can simple execute the phases for the current project you are in. You can give multiple phases like
mvn clean install site site:deploy
For the first question, see khmarbaise's answer
If you want to build more than one maven project in one step, you must use modules.
In a multi-module project, if you call mvn install from the top project, all sub modules are built, unless you use the advanced reactor options (e.g. mvn install -pl util -am only builds the module 'util' and it's dependencies)
