Run a single test method with maven

Question

I know you can run all the tests in a certain class using:

mvn test -Dtest=classname

But I want to run an individual method and -Dtest=classname.methodname doesn't seem to work.

Answer 1

To run a single test method in Maven, you require to provide the command as:

mvn test -Dtest=TestCircle#xyz test

Here TestCircle is the test class name and xyz is the test method.

Wild card figures also work; both in the method name and class name.

If you're inquiring in a multi-module project, define the module that the test is in with -pl <module-name>.

For integration tests you can try it.test=... option instead of test=...:

mvn -pl <module-name> -Dit.test=TestCircle#xyz integration-test
