The Mojo team is pleased to announce the release of the Failsafe Maven Plugin, version 2.4.3-alpha-1.
The Failsafe Plugin is a fork of the Maven Surefire Plugin designed for running integration tests. It has the following goals. * failsafe:integration-test (with a default phase of integration-test) which by default uses surefire to execute all tests matching the pattern **/IT*.java, **/*IT.java and **/*ITCase.java. This goal should not fail the build, thereby allowing the post-integration-test phase to execute and tidy up the integration test environment. * failsafe:verify (with a default phase of verify) which checks the results of running the integration tests and fails the build if there were test failures. When using the Failsafe Maven Plugin with its default phase bindings, use mvn verify to execute the integration tests. To use this plugin in your projects, add the following to the project/build/plugins section of your pom.xml <project> [...] <build> [...] <plugins> [...] <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>failsafe-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4.3-alpha-1</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>integration-test</goal> <goal>verify</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> [...] </plugins> [...] </build> [...] </project> The artifacts have been deployed to the mojo repository and will be mirrored to central within the next 24 hours.
