Maven Surefire Junit test suite

Question

I am using the Maven Surefire plugin in order to run just a specific suite of tests. For instance:

package suite;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.junit.runners.Suite;

import suite.slow.EvenSlowerClassTest;
import suite.slow.SlowClassTest;

@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({
    SlowClassTest.class,
    EvenSlowerClassTest.class
})
public class SlowSuite {

}

By using the maven command

test -DrunSuite=**/FastSuite.class -DfailIfNoTests=false

I can run the FastSuite or SlowSuite test suites explicitly, however, how can I run all test suites that I have or all tests that are not covered in a test suite?

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <includes>
            <include>${runSuite}</include>
        </includes>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

`mvn test` will run all tests under `src/test/java` (I haven't downvoted BTW) — Héctor, Jan 26 '16 at 08:09
Yes, I know that. But if I have the include directive in the surefire plugin (I updated the question with the pom.xml) it runs a suite by default. If I do not add that include, I can't run any suites giving a parameter — luca.p.alexandru, Jan 26 '16 at 08:16
@CédricCouralet The property `runSuite` does not exist in maven-surefire-plugin see the documentation. — khmarbaise, Jan 26 '16 at 11:48
It's is a property that is included. @CédricCouralet that helped, thanks. — luca.p.alexandru, Jan 26 '16 at 14:47

What i have done in some of our projects, is to use <profiles> in the pom.xml to activate special suites of tests. If no profiles are active, all tests will be run with mvn test (i hope that's what you are looking for)

Like so:

<profile>
    <id>commit-test</id>
    <build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.12.3</version>
            <configuration>
                <groups>com.test.CommitTest</groups>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Test classes in annotated like so:

@Category(CommitTest.class)
public class SomeTestClass {
}

I don't know if it works with @Suite and @RunWith but if your test suites aren't too many classes, it shouldn't be a difficult job to change that.

command: mvn clean test -Pcommit-test

Where does the Category annotation come from? I can;t find it within the junit framework — luca.p.alexandru, Jan 26 '16 at 09:04

I think you can try with -DrunSuite=**/*Suite.class

There does not exist a property like `runSuite` in [maven-surefire-plugin](https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html). – khmarbaise Jan 26 '16 at 11:47
No property `runSuite` out-of-the-box, but it can be defined with https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11762801/run-junit-suite-using-maven-command (accepted answer) – Florian H. Apr 04 '22 at 15:22
