Hello, We have a java multi-module project that has a somewhat painful to run test suite that I would like to get under control using Maven.
Currently it takes 5 separate Maven commands to setup, run, and teardown all the tests and test databases. I'd like to get this down to one command. Also I would like this structured so that individual parts of the process can be run separately to aid in debugging problems. The pom has 1 profile for each part of the task, all bound to the "test" goal: mvn clean test -P test-setup-1,local-enterprise-test-db (exec:java plugin to setup up a database) mvn test -P test-setup-2,local-enterprise-test-db (exec:java plugin to setup up a 2nd database) mvn test -P test-design,local-enterprise-test-db (surefire plugin to run a subset of the tests with maven properties set) mvn test -P test-transactional,local-enterprise-test-db (surefire plugin to run a different subset of the tests with different maven properties set) mvn test -P test-tear-down,local-enterprise-test-db (exec:java plugin to teardown the databases) The problem I am running into is how to get this organized so that it all happens with 1 command. It seems nearly unpossible. Can anyone offer any advice on how to accomplish this? Pointer to relevant articles, blog posts, stackoverflow questions would be most appreciated. Thanks! -Todd
