Maven package/install without test (skip tests)
JavaMavenJava Problem Overview
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?
Java Solutions
Solution 1 - Java
Run maven with
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip
Solution 2 - Java
Just provide the command mentioned below, which will ignore executing the test cases (but will compile the test code):
mvn package -DskipTests
Solution 3 - Java
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>
Solution 4 - Java
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
Solution 5 - Java
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
Solution 6 - Java
<properties>
<maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
</properties>
is also a way to add in pom file
Solution 7 - Java
Solution 8 - Java
You only have to provide
-Dmaven.test.skip
You no longer need to append =true
.
Solution 9 - Java
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.
Solution 10 - Java
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>
Solution 11 - Java
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
Solution 12 - Java
just mvn clean install -DskipTests
Solution 13 - Java
A shorthand notation to do maven build and skip tests would be :
mvn clean install -DskipTests
Solution 14 - Java
Below two commands are most useful
mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
mvn clean package -DskipTests
Thanks
Solution 15 - Java
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.
Solution 16 - Java
For maven package without infecting maven test:
<properties>
<maven.test.failure.ignore>true</maven.test.failure.ignore>
</properties>
Solution 17 - Java
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.

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!
Solution 19 - Java
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
worked for me since the -Dskip
did not work anymore.
Solution 20 - Java
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
Solution 21 - Java
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 :)
