so I have this in my pom.xml to skip all tests:
<!-- skip running all tests in this project. Do not change this -->
<!-- run tests explicitely -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
<useFile>false</useFile>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
BUT, I want to run a test explicitly and thought this would work (and
override the pom file settings but apparently the command line options DO
NOT override the pom file settings
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=false -Dtest=DeleteDatabaseTableTest clean test
So I want to make it difficult to run the tests and all tests are excluded
by default but the pom filter (skip = true) should not override any command
line options.
Is this the default behaviour of Maven ? (pom file overrides any command
line switches?)
Thanks
