Skip surefire but run failsafe?

[Nord, James]

Hi all,

Is there a way to run failsafe base integration tests but not surefire based unit tests? (using the lifecycle as I still need to generate a lot of sources etc...)

I tried mvn -DskipTests=true -DskipITs=false verify but also this is skipping both surefire and failsafe

[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:2.8.1:test (default-test) @ myproj ---
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-jar-plugin:2.2:jar (default-jar) @ myproj ---
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.7.2:integration-test (integration-test) @ myproj ---
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-source-plugin:2.1:jar-no-fork (attach-sources) @ myproj ---

[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.7.2:verify (verify) @ myproj ---
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS

Is there a way to accomplish this?

It does so because both plugins support a property named skipTests. If
you set it to false on the command line, both will assume they should
not run any tests.

Configuring m-surefire-plugin using
<skipTests>${skipUnitTests}</skipTests> in its <configuration> section
and setting -DskipUnitTests=true on the maven command line should give
you the desired behaviour.
