Since this is required to compile the test classes anyway, no additional configuration is required. Note that any normal Surefire integration works identically no matter which providers are in use - so you can still produce a Cobertura report and a Surefire results report on your project web site for your TestNG tests, for example. The POJO provider above allows you to write tests that do not depend on JUnit. They behave in the same way, running all <<>> methods that are public in the class, but the API dependency is not required. To perform assertions, the JDK 1.4 <<>> keyword can be used. See {{{./examples/pojo-test.html} using POJO tests}} for more information. All of the providers support the Surefire Plugin parameter configurations. However, there are additional options available if you are running TestNG tests (including if you are using TestNG to execute your JUnit tests, which occurs by default if both are present in Surefire). See {{{./examples/testng.html} Using TestNG}} for more information. #{if}(${project.artifactId}=="maven-failsafe-plugin") * Using jetty and ${project.artifactId} You need to bind one of <<>>, <<>> or <<>> to the <<>> phase with <<>> set to true, bind <<>> to the <<>> phase, bind <<>> to the <<>> phase and finally bind <<>> to the <<>> phase. Here is an example: +---+ [...] [...] [...] ${project.groupId} ${project.artifactId} ${project.version} integration-test integration-test verify verify org.mortbay.jetty maven-jetty-plugin 6.1.16 [...] [...] 10 8005 STOP / [...] [...] [...] start-jetty pre-integration-test run-exploded 0 true stop-jetty post-integration-test stop [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] +---+ You then invoke maven with a phase of <<>> or later in order to run the integration tests. DO NOT directly invoke any of the phases: <<>>, <<>>, or <<>> as these are too long to type and they will likely leave a jetty container running. +---+ mvn verify +---+ Note: during test development, you will likely run a jetty instance in the background. to help running the integration tests, it can be handy to bind <<>> to the <<>> phase before <<>> to flush out any running jetty instance before starting the integration test jetty instance, e.g. +---+ [...] [...] [...] org.mortbay.jetty maven-jetty-plugin 6.1.16 [...] [...] start-jetty pre-integration-test stop run-exploded [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] +---+ * Reporting integration test results The ${thisPlugin} Plugin uses the exact same format as the ${thatPlugin} Plugin, so to generate a report you just add a second Surefire Report Plugin report set using the ${thisPlugin} reports directory, e.g. +---+ [...] ${project.groupId} maven-surefire-report-plugin ${project.version} integration-tests failsafe-report-only [...] +---+ * Running integration tests multiple times If you need to run your integration tests multiple times, just use multiple executions of the <<>> goal. You will need to specify a different summary file for each execution, and then configure the <<>> goal with the multiple summary files in order to fail the build when any one execution has failures, e.g. +---+ [...] ${project.groupId} ${project.artifactId} ${project.version} integration-test-red-bevels integration-test red target/failsafe-reports/failsafe-summary-red-bevels.xml integration-test-no-bevels integration-test none target/failsafe-reports/failsafe-summary-no-bevels.xml verify verify target/failsafe-reports/failsafe-summary-red-bevels.xml target/failsafe-reports/failsafe-summary-no-bevels.xml [...] +---+ * Using in multi-module projects The recommendations for using the ${thisPlugin} Plugin listed at the top of this page are fine for 95% of use cases. When you are defining a shared definition of the ${thisPlugin} Plugin in a parent pom, it is considered best practice to define an execution id in order to allow child projects to override the configuration. Thus you might have the following in your parent <<>> +---+ [...] ${project.groupId} ${project.artifactId} ${project.version} integration-test integration-test verify [...] +---+ The child projects can then trigger usage of the ${thisPlugin} Plugin with +---+ [...] ${project.groupId} ${project.artifactId} ${project.version} [...] +---+ For very complex builds, it may be better to separate the executions for the <<>> and <<>> goals. +---+ [...] ${project.groupId} ${project.artifactId} ${project.version} integration-test integration-test verify verify [...] +---+ #{end}
