How to run individual test in the integration-test target in maven
Maven 2Integration TestingMaven Surefire-PluginMaven 2 Problem Overview
We have a hundreds of tests defined for our integration-test phase lifecycle in maven, and they take a long time to finish.
What I want to do is run just one test in the integration-test
. I tried doing :
mvn -Dtest=<my-test> integration-test
but that does not work. The -Dtest
runs only the tests in the unit test goal, not the integration-test phase. I tried the -Dintegration-test=<my-test>
instead, and that was ignored.
Is there a way to do that ?
My configuration is:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>surefire-it</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>none</exclude>
</excludes>
<includes>
<include>**/api/**</include>

Maven 2 Solutions
Solution 1 - Maven 2
If you're using the Maven failsafe plugin, you can run a single integration test by setting the it.test
property to your fully qualified test class name:
mvn -D it.test=your.TestCase verify
Solution 2 - Maven 2
The Failsafe documentation would have you specify the test like so:
mvn -Dit.test=BrokenIT verify
However, -Dit.test does not appear to work any longer. Rather, the same parameter used to specify a Surefire test will apparently work for Failsafe as well. For example:
mvn -Dtest=WorksIT verify
I've filed a bug (EDIT: which was closed as "Cannot Reproduce" in 2.12) to correct the documentation.
Solution 3 - Maven 2
just add -DfailIfNoTests=false
works for me with testNG. Something like this:
mvn integration-test -Dtest=aITest -DfailIfNoTests=false
Solution 4 - Maven 2
I struggled through this, and I created an additional profile to use when I wanted to run just one integration test. I hope that I've successfully extracted just the right part here:
<profile>
<id>integrationTestSingle</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>surefire-it</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/integration/**/${test}.java</include>
</includes>
<skipTests>false</skipTests>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<argLine>-Xms256M -Xmx768M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M</argLine>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-test</id>
<configuration>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
Now, I call maven with the integrationTestSingle profile and with -DfailIfNoTests=false -Dtest=NameOfTest
, and it doesn't run any of the regular tests during the regular "test" phase, and runs just the NameOfTest
test during the integration-test phase.
Solution 5 - Maven 2
I'm not sure about JUnit, but for TestNG the strategy would be to define a suite XML file with only the one test, and then in your POM configure the surefire plugin to only run that. In your POM, you would have something like this (disclaimer, this is untested):
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<configuration>
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>single-test.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
To configure the suite file, see http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html
Solution 6 - Maven 2
Just ran into this myself. Something like this worked well for me:
mvn -Pintegration-test -Dtest=<my-test>
The trick was to ensure that the test-group was mentioned before the -Dtest portion.
Solution 7 - Maven 2
I am using: Apache Maven 3.6.3
openjdk version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>failsafe-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3-alpha-1</version>
This command worked for me:
mvn failsafe:integration-test -Dsurefire.skip=true -DskipIntegrationTests=false -DskipTests=false -Dtest=com.myxyz.func.ITestGate
Solution 8 - Maven 2
Was actually simpler that the answers above by going back to basics with the actual documentation.
Running Junit 5 integration tests:
openjdk version "11.0.11" 2021-04-20
Apache Maven 3.6.3
In the main build just drop in documented failsafe config:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0-M5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Then you can run only a specific integration test with:
mvn -Dtest=\*cs1_\* verify
Note that this version will run your tests in the target
folder and if you need to load any external files that are something like src\test\resources\x.y
then they are copied to target\test-classes\x.y
Solution 9 - Maven 2
This works for me, when I gonna run only one test method in integration test
mvn clean -Dit.test=some.package.SomeTestClass#testMethodName integration-test
