Unit tests getting executed during integration test phase even after excluding them

Question

I have a a unit test (ProductDaoTest.java) and an integration test (ProductDaoIT.java) in my maven application.

I would like to execute only the integration test during the mvn verify command call but the unit test also gets executed even after excluding it using the <exclude> tag in the maven-failsafe-plugin configuration.

How can I fix this problem?

<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.19.1</version> <configuration> <excludes> <exclude>**/*Test.java</exclude> </excludes> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>integration-test</goal> <goal>verify</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin>

Updated POM (with solution):

 <!-- For skipping unit tests execution during execution of IT's --> <profiles> <profile> <id>integration-test</id> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.19.1</version> <!-- Skips UTs --> <configuration> <skipTests>true</skipTests> </configuration> </plugin> <!-- Binding the verify goal with IT --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.19.1</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>integration-test</goal> <goal>verify</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> <configuration> <port>5000</port> <path>${project.artifactId}</path> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>start-tomcat</id> <phase>pre-integration-test</phase> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> <configuration> <fork>true</fork> </configuration> </execution> <execution> <id>stop-tomcat</id> <phase>post-integration-test</phase> <goals> <goal>shutdown</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </profile> </profiles>

mvn clean install - Runs only unit tests by default

mvn clean install -Pintegration-test - Runs only integration tests by default

Excluding the unit tests in failsafe does not make sense cause it has the naming schema: *IT.java so this configuration can be removed. You can use mvn verify -Dmaven.test.skip=true .... — khmarbaise

In Maven, test step is before verify step in the lifecycle.
So it you don't skip this step, it is bound to execute.

If you want to skip test , either use -Dmaven.test.skip=tr‌ue as khmarbaise suggested, either create a dedicated Maven profile for IT where you will ignore unit-tests in this way :

 <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <skipTests>true</skipTests> </configuration> </plugin>

Generally, you create a Maven profile for integration tests, so if it is the case, gathering all the configuration in a place is better that scattering it.

Was able to finally solve the problem with the use of profiles. Updated my question with answer above.
