mvn failsafe:integration-test

Question

I am using maven 2 and integration test are in *IT.java files. When I run command mvn failsafe:integration-test integration test run fines. But when I run mvn integration-test it does not run my integration tests. How can I remove prefix failsafe: ?

In pom.xml I use:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.12</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
        <phase>integration-test</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>integration-test</goal>
            <goal>verify</goal>
        </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

UPDATE
I also tried following pom.xml setup and then mvn clean verify. I got only surefire report of JUnit tests. There are still missing JUnit integration test on console output.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.12</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>failsafe-integration-tests</id>
            <phase>integration-test</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>integration-test</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>failsafe-verify</id>
            <phase>verify</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>verify</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Now I tied disable unit tests by plugin settings:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <!-- Disable unit tests -->
        <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Wen I run mvn clean verify my failsafe integration test runs! But why it does not works together with surefire unit test? Any idea?

Where did you defined that? in Build area or in pluginManagement area? — khmarbaise, Aug 09 '12 at 14:41
Did you explicitly specify the phase? I helped someone else with a [similar issue](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9949341/944849) and adding the phase helped. The goal is supposed to be bound to the `integration-test` phase by default per the docs but it didn't work until the phase was added explicitly. — user944849, Aug 09 '12 at 15:54
To run your integration tests you have to call the lifecycle phase: verify. If you call the lifecylce integration-test the phase post-integration-test is missing (http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Lifecycle_Reference). Ah are you using JUnit or TestNG? — khmarbaise, Aug 10 '12 at 07:07

Do you have failing unit tests?

When you do mvn failsafe:integration-test you are explictly invoking failsafe, but when you do mvn integration-test you are invoking the phase, so unit tests are executed and, in case a unit tests fails, the integration phase is never reached. That would explain why mvn clean verify works when you skip by configuration the execution of the unit tests.
