It is possible to just run unit tests or integration tests from a module but it gets messy and over complicated. For example I have projects that separate tests by placing all unit tests in a directory called unit and all integration tests in a directory called it. With such a separation it makes it easier to configure the compile plug-in to exclude tests at certain phases. Likewise the surefire plug-in needs to be configured accordingly with excludes and includes. Then using a profile you can invoke the integration tests which will only run integration tests.
This all works fine until you need to generate a site that contains both surefire reports for unit test runs and integration test runs. It's not straightforward as the underlying surefire report plug-in is not as flexible. I'm just waiting for when the next major release of Maven is made as the issue of test separation I believe is addressed -- Robert -----Original Message----- From: Kristof Vanbecelaere [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 12:03 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Re: maven-surefire-plugin configuration for unit/integration tests I disagree. Have you ever written a selenium test? This is trial and error. I have not touched any "real" code, only test code. So I know my unit tests succeed. All I want to do is run the integration-test phase without unit tests.
