Maven failsafe plugin not using it.test property? - maven-failsafe-plugin

I have the following configuration for the maven failsafe plugin to run my integration tests (based on the documentation at Failsafe Usage Documentation:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.16</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>integration-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>verify</id>
<goals>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
When I try to run an individual test using:
mvn -Dit.test=MyLovelyTest failsafe:integration-test
It does not run my test. It dies with the message: No tests were executed
If I remove the execution definition for verify, then it executes the test as expected. Since I copied the plugin def from the official usage documentation, I'm wondering if there's a bug in the plugin, or is it something I'm doing wrong?

Maven plugin in not getting executed

I have a custom maven plugin but when i use that in my project pom , it does not get triggered !
Here is how i using same:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.autodeploy.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>my-docs-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.2-0</version>
<inherited>false</inherited>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>myid</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>target/doc</outputDirectory>
<custom-Folders>
<param>${basedir}/files/</param>
</custom-Folders>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I am triggering build cycle like mvn install:install or even mvn install ! None of these invoke my maven plugin !

why list the goals of a plugin without binding to a phase?

Please consider this pom excerpt taken from jacoco example ( http://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/examples/build/pom-it.xml)

Now I know that you can bind a plugin's goal to a maven phase, that is run that goal when maven executes a specific phase.
What is the point of just listing the integration-test goal for the maven failsafe plugin without binding it to something?
The same as for jacoco report and others goal? I don't think you can force the plugin to execute just those listed goals right?
Many thanks
The point is that a plugin can define default life cycle phases where the appropriate goal is bound to (many plugins do this). In this cases you don't need to specify the life cycle phase within the pom file explicitly.
For example the maven-failsafe-plugin has a goal integration-test. This goal has a default binding to the integration-test life cycle phase. Here an excerpt from the documentation:
Description:
Run integration tests using Surefire. Attributes:
Requires a Maven project to be executed.
Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test.
The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: integration-test.
That's the reason why you don't need to give a life cylce phase in the configuration like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.18.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-integration-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The same is meant for the jacoco maven plugin.
If I understand correctly, M2E will execute the plugin goal during workspace full or incremental builds.
The following article may shed some light:
http://eclipse.org/m2e/documentation/m2e-execution-not-covered.html
You are correct that, on command line, you would not be able to specify the goal, since it is a plugin goal and not tied to a phase. This could be an oddball usage specifically for M2E integration.

mvn failsafe:integration-test

I am using maven 2 and integration test are in *IT.java files. When I run command mvn failsafe:integration-test integration test run fines. But when I run mvn integration-test it does not run my integration tests. How can I remove prefix failsafe: ?
In pom.xml I use:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
UPDATE
I also tried following pom.xml setup and then mvn clean verify. I got only surefire report of JUnit tests. There are still missing JUnit integration test on console output.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>failsafe-integration-tests</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>failsafe-verify</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<goals>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Now I tied disable unit tests by plugin settings:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<!-- Disable unit tests -->
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Wen I run mvn clean verify my failsafe integration test runs! But why it does not works together with surefire unit test? Any idea?
Do you have failing unit tests?
When you do mvn failsafe:integration-test you are explictly invoking failsafe, but when you do mvn integration-test you are invoking the phase, so unit tests are executed and, in case a unit tests fails, the integration phase is never reached. That would explain why mvn clean verify works when you skip by configuration the execution of the unit tests.

Maven - FindBugs Plugin - Exclude from Test Phase

I have the findbugs plugin working fine in my maven setup. I've setup findbugs to execute during the compile phase. I noticed however that it runs during the test phase as well because the test phase also calls compile. Because I have an automated build pipeline that runs all my targets, I don't need findbugs to run during the test phase. I've tried to exclude findbugs from the test phase with the following but no luck yet.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.0</version>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<failOnError>${findbugs.failOnError}</failOnError>
<skip>${findbugs.skip}</skip>
<trace>${findbugs.trace}</trace>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>findbugs-test-compile</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
It will not be called based on the running through the life-cylcle via compile it simply is running cause you configured to have two executions one in test and one in compile phase. Findbugs should usually run in the reporting area(site).
Just make a single execution:
<executions>
<execution>
<id>findbugs-test-compile</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
The one you like to have. But i recommend to read the documentation cause it should run in reporting area (via site) only.
UPDATE:
If you like to run findbugs only during the site generation than just remove it from the usual build area and put into the reporting area instead.

How do you get the soapUI maven plugin to fail safe?

AFAIK, the maven failsafe plugin fails safe because it has separate goals for running the tests and failing the build based on the tests. These are designed to be bound to the integration-test and verify goals respectively. This allows post-integration-test bound goals to run (shutting down the build) before the build fails.
My question is, how do I do this with the maven-soapui-plugin? I thought I could simply specify <testFailIgnore>true</testFailIgnore> in my soapui plugin config and then call the failsafe plugin verify goal, but that isn't working. I don't think I'm not sure if I'm getting a summary file out of the soapui plugin or not. I keep getting Expected root element 'failsafe-summary' but found 'testsuite' Here is a snippet of the POM:
<plugin>
<groupId>eviware</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-soapui-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
<configuration>
<junitReport>true</junitReport>
<exportAll>true</exportAll>
<outputFolder>${project.build.directory}/surefire-reports</outputFolder>
<testFailIgnore>true</testFailIgnore>
<printReport>true</printReport>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>FailingTest</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<projectFile>${basedir}/testData/soapui-integration-tests.xml</projectFile>
<host>localhost</host>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>verify</phase>
<id>verify</id>
<goals>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<summaryFiles>
<summaryFile>${project.build.directory}/surefire-reports/TEST-TestSuite_1.xml</summaryFile>
</summaryFiles>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Is there something wrong with my POM or is this a bad approach? Are there any better approaches?
There is an open source extension of the soapui plugin which has a separate test-verify goal for exactly this purpose.
https://github.com/redfish4ktc/maven-soapui-extension-plugin
The following example shows the required configuration:
https://github.com/redfish4ktc/maven-soapui-extension-plugin/blob/master/src/it/test-verify_goal/one_failing_project/pom.xml
AFAIK maven-failsafe-plugin can only verify success status of tests run by maven-failsafe-plugin and not by maven-soapui-plugin. It does that by reading test summary report file (failsafe-summary.xml) which has specific format.
maven-soapui-plugin could be adjusted to separate running tests from verifying test success status, to support running post-integration-test tasks (stop server, undeploy artifacts, etc.) before verification. Create a support ticket for this to soapUI guys.
Maybe even maven-failsafe-plugin, it's verify mojo, could be extended to allow specifying different test report format (JUnit style reports are supported by soapUI) or even an xpath expression which would be used by maven-failsafe-plugin to determine if there were failed tests or not. Create a support ticket for this on maven-failsafe-plugin issue tracker.
Until those extensions are supported, and you need to do tasks on post-integration-test phase you can use soapUI JUnit integration and have maven-failsafe-plugin run those soapUI JUnit tests.
I am trying this solution, and it doesn't work.
But I have found one.
To obtain de tests report of SOAPUI tests in Jenkins, I using the failsafe plugin with this configuration in the pom.xml of my Soap tests folder :
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>eviware</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-soapui-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6.1</version>
<configuration>
<projectFile>${basedir}/soap_project_tests.xml</projectFile>
<outputFolder>${filePath.reports.soap}</outputFolder>
<testFailIgnore>true</testFailIgnore>
<junitReport>true</junitReport>
<exportwAll>true</exportwAll>
<printReport>true</printReport>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>run-soap-integration-test</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.11</version>
<configuration>
<reportsDirectory>${filePath.reports.soap}</reportsDirectory>
<printSummary>true</printSummary>
<argLine>-Xmx512m</argLine>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>soap-integration-test-verify</id>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The tests cases status are up to Jenkins.
