Maven surefire在模块中找不到Testng测试

Question

Does Maven surefire require a testng.xml file to run testng classes and methods? I have a multi module reactor setup in maven. Testng and some custom tools are located on one module and our tests are located on another module. Our structure is like this

/pom.xml
/testng-utils/pom.xml
/testng-utils/src
/tests/pom.xml
/tests/src

The tests module has a dependency on testng utils. testng-utils module brings in testng and hamcrest. Surefire is a plugin in tests/pom.xml.

I use testng annotations inside my tests, and I don't use an testng.xml file, I realize I'm providing very little information so I'm not expecting anything too in depth for an answer, just maybe a hint as to why my tests aren't being found.

Does anyone use a setup at all similar to this, and invoke testng without the use of a testng.xml file through surefire? I can try to include more information if anyone wants it if I'm able, but this is for the company I work for so I can't put much.

Thanks!

As long as you place your tests under src/test/java directory and follow the *Test.java naming convention surefire should be able to pick them up without any further configuration.

Surefire + TestNG
