I want to run single test class from command line using Maven and TestNG
Things that doesn't work:
mvn -Dtest=ClassName test
I have defined groups in pom.xml, and this class isn't in one of those groups. So it got excluded on those grounds.
mvn -Dgroups=skipped-group test
mvn -Dsurefire.groups=skipped-group test
when config is
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.7.1</version>
<configuration>
<groups>functest</groups>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Parameters work fine in there are no groups defined in pom.xml.
Similarly, when surefire is configured with
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/*UnitTest.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
I can add another test with -Dtest parameter, but cannot add group. In any combination, I can narrow down tests to be executed with groups, but not expand them.
What's wrong with my configuration? Is there a way to run a single test or group outside of those defined in pom.xml?
Tried on Ubuntu 10.04 with Maven 2.2.1, TestNG 5.14.6 and Surefire 2.7.1
