Maven failsafe: followed guide, but does not run on “verify”

Question

I am trying to make the Maven failsafe plugin run my integration tests, but even though I have followed the guide at https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/usage.html it doesn't work.

My maven project (MvnTest) looks like this (source files are below):

pom.xml
-src
  -main
    -java
    -resources
 -test
  -java
    SomeIT.java
    SomeTest.java

mvn test correctly runs only the tests in SomeTest.java using the sunfire plugin. Output:

...
[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test (default-test) @ MvnTest ---
[INFO] Surefire report directory: ...
...
Running SomeTest
Tests run: 1, Failures: 1

However, the mvn verify command outputs exactly the same thing as mvn test which is wrong in two ways: 1) it calls sunfire, and 2) it runs the tests in SomeTest.java but should only run those in SomeIT.java ( https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/examples/inclusion-exclusion.html )

I believe I have followed the guide on using failsafe correctly, but obviously I must have missed something. What did I do wrong?

Add includes section in your pom.xml for maven-failsafe-plugin

Looks like:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.16</version>
            <configuration>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*IT.java</include>
                </includes>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>integration-test</goal>
                        <goal>verify</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
