Exception when starting maven wildfly plugin: server failed to start within 60 seconds

Question

I had a project cloned from bit-bucket, when I loaded it on my system. maven downloaded all it's dependencies, but apparently when it's time for the maven wildfly plugin server to start and run the integrated test, I get an error. maven wildfly plugin unable to start within 60 seconds. my boss stated earlier that it was my PC was running on a 2gb ram, which I had to upgrade to a 4gb ram, but when I try to start the server, I still get the same error.

I have attached my stacktrace, if anyone could be able to help with me a work around concerning making the server start within the specified time. thank you.

Caused by: java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: The server did not start within 60 seconds.

You can set an property in your pom.xml to increase the timeout time: https://docs.jboss.org/wildfly/plugins/maven/latest/deploy-mojo.html#timeout

should look something like this:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.0.Final</version>
            <configuration>
               <timeout>300</timeout>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

You could also set it as an property in you pom.xml

<properties>
  <wildfly.timeout>300</wildfly.timeout>
</properties>

If you want to increase the timeout treshold to 300 seconds

Additionally to the configuration mentioned by askepan, you can set a startupTimeout property

wildfly:start

startupTimeout - long: The timeout value to use when starting the server. Default value is: 60. User property is: wildfly.startupTimeout. Alias is: startup-timeout.

See https://docs.jboss.org/wildfly/plugins/maven/latest/start-mojo.html#startupTimeout

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.2.Final</version>
    <configuration>
       <startupTimeout>300</startupTimeout>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
