Maven: How do I configure tests to run in integration-test phase? - maven

Question

I'm using Maven 3.0.3. I want to run some Junit tests in my test phase and others in my integration-test phase. Problem is nothing is running during the integration-test phase. I run the command
mvn clean install
to kick everything off. Here is how I've configured my surefire-plugin ...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
<additionalClasspathElements>
<additionalClasspathElement>${project.build.sourceDirectory}</additionalClasspathElement>
<additionalClasspathElement>${project.build.testSourceDirectory}</additionalClasspathElement>
</additionalClasspathElements>
<useManifestOnlyJar>false</useManifestOnlyJar>
<forkMode>always</forkMode>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>gwt.args</name>
<value>-out \${webAppDirectory}</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/integration/**</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
<includes>
<include>**/integration/**</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I have two JUnit tests in my "integration" directory. I'm using the Maven Cargo plugin to spin up a server during the integration phase. Here is that configuration ...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<container>
<containerId>tomcat${tomcat.major}x</containerId>
<zipUrlInstaller>
<url>http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-${tomcat.major}/v${tomcat.version}/bin/apache-tomcat-${tomcat.version}.tar.gz</url>
<downloadDir>${project.build.directory}/downloads</downloadDir>
<extractDir>${project.build.directory}/extracts</extractDir>
</zipUrlInstaller>
<output>${project.build.directory}/tomcat${tomcat.major}x.log</output>
<log>${project.build.directory}/cargo.log</log>
</container>
<configuration>
<home>${project.build.directory}/tomcat-${tomcat.version}/container</home>
<properties>
<cargo.logging>high</cargo.logging>
<cargo.servlet.port>${tomcat.servlet.port}</cargo.servlet.port>
<cargo.tomcat.ajp.port>${tomcat.ajb.port}</cargo.tomcat.ajp.port>
</properties>
</configuration>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start-container</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>start</goal>
<goal>deploy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<deployer>
<deployables>
<deployable>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
<type>war</type>
<pingURL>http://localhost:${tomcat.servlet.port}/${project.artifactId}</pingURL>
<pingTimeout>30000</pingTimeout>
<properties>
<context>${project.artifactId}</context>
</properties>
</deployable>
</deployables>
</deployer>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>stop-container</id>
<phase>post-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>stop</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Any ideas how I change/enhance my configuration so that my integration tests will run? - Dave
