maven -P option not working with mvn clean install - maven

Question

When I try to build the project using
mvn clean package -P dev, it activates the dev profile and performs the build. But when I try with mvn clean install -P dev, it builds all the profiles.
I have more than one profiles in my pom.xml.
<profiles>
<!-- The Configuration of the development profile -->
<profile>
<id>dev</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
<build.profile.id>dev</build.profile.id>
<skip.integration.tests>true</skip.integration.tests>
<skip.unit.tests>false</skip.unit.tests>
</properties>
</profile>
<!-- The Configuration of the integration-test profile -->
<profile>
<id>integration-test</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
<build.profile.id>integration-test</build.profile.id>
<skip.integration.tests>false</skip.integration.tests>
<skip.unit.tests>true</skip.unit.tests>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
Also tried with mvn clean install --activate-profiles=dev, but with same results. Even -D option also did not work.

Answer 1

I think I may have have found the reason for the above behavior. Reference
Before explaining my findings, let me clarify few things:
All my Integration Test class are post-fixed with IT (Example: ServiceIT.java)
All the Integration Test related files (sources & resources) are kept in a folder called integartion-tests inside src folder (example: "src/integration-tests/java" & "src/integration-tests/resources")
Now what I've learnt is:
integration-test phase is included in install, verify & deploy goals.
By default, maven considers any class name ending with -IT and inside test or integration-test folder (eventually in test-classes folder) as Integration Test Class.
Now in my support:
If you look closely in the console output I've pasted, you'll find that the integration-test is being executed twice -
Once:
[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.18:integration-test (default) # myservicename ---
[INFO] Failsafe report directory: c:\path\to\gitrepo\service\target\failsafe-reports
Twice:
[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.18:integration-test (integration-tests) # myservicename ---
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
The first time is being executed as default phase (as a part of install goal). The second time it is being skipped, since the dev profile is being activated, in which the integration-test are skipped.
Why am I so sure?
I changed the Integration Test classes from ServiceIT.java to ServiceIntegrationTest.java and updated the plugin accordingly in pom.xml.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.18</version>
<executions>
<!-- Invokes both the integration-test and the verify goals of the Failsafe Maven plugin -->
<execution>
<id>integration-tests</id>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<!-- Skips integration tests if the value of skip.integration.tests property is true -->
<skipTests>${skip.integration.tests}</skipTests>
<includes>
<include>**/*IntegrationTest.class</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Now, for maven, there is no default class for Integration Test and the integration-tests profile is not activated. Hence, maven did not find any default integration test to run. And the console output came as:
[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.18:integration-test (default) # twelvefactorquestion ---
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.18:integration-test (integration-tests) # twelvefactorquestion ---
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.18:verify (default) # twelvefactorquestion ---
[INFO] Failsafe report directory: c:\Work\12Factor\git\twelveFactorQuestion\target\failsafe-reports
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.18:verify (integration-tests) # twelvefactorquestion ---
[INFO] Tests are skipped.
