Cannot attach spring cloud contract maven plugin to lifecycle phase - maven

Question

I could not manage to run spring-cloud-contract:generateTests to run without explicitly specifying the goal in maven command line. Here is the plugin configuration of pom.xml:
<!-- Contract Driven Testing -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
<!-- Don't forget about this value !! -->
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<!-- Provide the base class for your auto-generated tests -->
<packageWithBaseClasses>cdc</packageWithBaseClasses>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>spring-cloud-generateTests</id>
<goals>
<goal>generateTests</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-verifier</artifactId>
<version>${spring-cloud-contract.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
When I run mvn clean install the tests are not generated, although explicitly specifying the goal fulfills the goal.
Here is the full pom.xml:

I tried to run your example but it fails to compile due to missing dependencies. Anyways what #khmarbaise said is perfectly valid. With Maven you have to set a plugin in the <build><plugins> section. If you have it only in the <pluginManagement> section then it won't work. You can check out the Spring Cloud Contract Samples where everything works fine and is well setup - https://github.com/spring-cloud-samples/spring-cloud-contract-samples/blob/master/producer/pom.xml#L73-L103
