Why my simple selenium test is not running through maven

Question

I am not able to run the below simple selenium test through maven test. But when i right click on the test and run as Java application works perfect.

i wrote a very basic selenium script like below:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
public class sampleTest 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
}

Following is my pom.xml

        </plugins>

  </build>
</project>

Answer 1

We use the selenium-maven-plugin with maven-failsafe-plugin. You can see how we have setup ours by searching for stest in our pom.xml

Answer 2

For running your code as Maven Test, you need to put your code under @Test annotaion. For your code :

@Test
public void test()
    {
        WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }
