詹金斯没有通过surefire运行TestNG测试

Question

Have a local set up using Maven and TestNG which builds just fine. The build is a little odd given that in order for the tests to run, a packaged JAR is needed first. So in effect the local setup runs

#!/bin/bash

mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip.exec=true
mvn test

When run on Jenkins, the clean/package step succeeds as does test, except no tests are actually run:

[workspace] $ mvn -f some_sub_directory/pom.xml test

Seems as though the testCompile and test goals in the surefire plugin aren't finding any test classes.

Is there an additional config needed in pom.xml?

Answer 1

The default and recommended path for test classes is {basedir}/src/test/java/. But you can precise the path in your pom.xml

<build>
   <testSourceDirectory>{basedir}/path/to/test/classes</testSourceDirectory>
    ...
</build>

Answer 2

You need to specify your tests that need to be run. I believe, it looks for tests starting with test*. If you are using a testng xml then you need to set that up. Check this link out for examples on how to specify tests in different ways.
