Question

I am tryinf a apporach to run a single test method from commandline using maven or either Junit. My project is build in Junit Framework with Maven.
I have parallel execution in place to run methods in parallel. When I try to run this from commandline, it is still running all testmenthds in parallel.
mvn -Dtest=<Classname>#<testmethodname> test
Would anyone help, how to acheive to run single testmethod or sepcific test methods from commandline.

Answer 1

Spelling mistake spotted buddy, correct one is -Dtest and not -DTest
mvn -Dtest=<Classname>#<testmethodname> test
Additionally, as you are already running multiple tests in parallel, you can also use below mentioned pattern to execute like test methods.
Example:
mvn -Dtest=Classname#testMethod1+testMethod2+testMethod3 test
Enjoy... ;)

Answer 2

The surefire parameter for excuting a single test is test not Test so you should invoke the following Maven command:
mvn -Dtest=<ClassName>#<TestMethodName> test
For example, given ...
A test FooTest with a test method: foo()
A test BarTest with a test method: bar()
... you could invoke the following:
Run FooTest.foo()
mvn -Dtest=FooTest#foo test
Run FooTest.foo() and BarTest.bar()
mvn -Dtest=FooTest#foo,FooTest#bar test
