PROBLEM
When running mvn clean test
, Maven Surefire Plugin doesn’t pick up *Spec.groovy
test files.
SOLUTION
By default, Maven Surefire Plugin is configured to execute test files with the following patterns: **/Test*.java
, **/*Test.java
and **/*TestCase.java
.
To fix this, we need to modify the inclusion list for this plugin. Since both Java and Groovy files get compiled down to *.class
, it is probably easier to just include *.class
instead of *.java
or *.groovy
.
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.17</version> <configuration> <includes> <include>**/Test*.class</include> <include>**/*Test.class</include> <include>**/*TestCase.class</include> <include>**/*Spec.class</include> </includes> </configuration> </plugin>
