Maven, testng, surefire: not running AfterClass

Question

Is there a reason why maven would not run my AfterClass which is set to alwaysRun=true? BeforeClass is run without issues and test passes according to surefire report. I run command in terminal:

mvn -Dtest=TestSuite2#test_case3 test

and get

Results :

Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

The problem is though that my AfterClass, where I quit driver (driver.quit()) is not run. Everything works as expected, if I run the same test via Eclipse with TestNG (right click on the method, run as TestNG test)

Answer 1

It works in IDE (Eclipse/IDEA) because it creates testng.xml and run test against it. You need to check pom.xml and revise your Maven Surefire Plugin configuration.
