Maven does not generate target test-classes file

Question

Our company has its own maven repository and we download maven dependencies from there. When i run maven clean test on command line, it does not generate target classes and test classes from java file.

Questions:

The target > test-classes does not have the .class file generated when running mvn clean test.

Please help. Thanks.

Please add the command line output of your build to the question. — J Fabian Meier, Oct 09 '19 at 08:27
@JFMeier , Simply calling Clean Test wont work, at-least he should have a install phase to get compiled files saved locally. — Vishwa Ratna, Oct 09 '19 at 08:32
@VishwaRatna nope, it will work - compile is prior test and will be done. — Antoniossss, Oct 09 '19 at 08:53
I have test classess under src/test/java -> TestManager.java — nicholas, Oct 09 '19 at 08:57
It has nothing to do with your custom maven repository. Remove this `maven-surefire-plugin` plugin, keep you `pom.xml` as simple as possible. You should get test classes under `target/test-classes` folder. — Alexandr, Oct 09 '19 at 10:02

You could see in the Commandline Output you have pasted which says

[INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.6:testResources [INFO] Copying 0 resource [INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1testCompile [INFO] Nothing to compile - all classess up to date

You are missing the maven-resources-plugin in your build conifguration.

Add following to your <build><plguins> </plugins></build>

        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>copy-resources</id>
                    <phase>validate</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>copy-resources</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
                        <resources>
                            <resource>
                                <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
                            </resource>
                        </resources>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

The resources files are copied from src/main/resources to target/classes.

EDIT: It doesnot help. There is 0 resources copying. The target - classess is generated but not target - test-classes.

The resources plugin is by default bound to the life cycle which means no need to add it manually...and the log shows that it is called only that no resources exist to copy... — khmarbaise, Oct 09 '19 at 09:33
It doesn't help. No resource is copying after added the plugin. The target->classes is generated but not the target-test-classes. — nicholas, Oct 09 '19 at 09:49
