II. Skip Test with Maven & SpringBoot
1. Preparation
Firstly, using SpringToolSuite to create a SpringBoot project as below:
Then modify SpringMavenSkipTestApplicationTests class as below:

package com.javasampleapproach.maven.skiptest; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringRunner; @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest public class SpringMavenSkipTestApplicationTests { @Test public void contextLoads() { System.out.println("###############################################################"); System.out.println("============================Testing============================"); System.out.println("###############################################################"); } } |
2. Skip Test
2.1 skipTests & maven.test.skip
We can control the testing when running Maven build through skipTests or maven.test.skip properties.
How to use? -> We use them via commandlines: mvn clean install -DskipTests or mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
What is the difference between them?
– maven.test.skip property will skip compiling and skip running the tests. It is honored by Surefire, Failsafe and the Compiler Plugin.
– skipTests is the feature of Surefire. It will complile BUT NOT run the tests.
2.2 skipping by default
We set properties {skipTests, maven.test.skip} in the pom.xml file.
with maven.test.skip

<project> [...] <properties> ... <maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip> ... </properties> [...] |
To enable test, we use commandline: mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=false.

To enable test, we use commandline: mvn clean install -DskipTests=false.
