How can i run only the unit tests not the integration tests on build phase with maven

Question

I added the maven-failsafe-plugin to my project for runnig integration tests. When i run test only unit tests are running and when i run integration-test first unit tests and then integration tests are running.

It's all what i want so far but when i clean and build the project both unit tests and integration tests are running which i wouldn't prefer because i just don't want to prepare the environment for integration testing on every build. I clean and build the project for some generated source to regenerate and i don't want to run the integration test meanwhile.

Is there a way that i only run the integration tests on purpose not by any automation?

Answer 1

I added -DskipITs flag clean install command of maven so integration tests are not running when i make a call of clean and install.

And i created maven goals as integration-test and verify to run and verify the integration tests via the failsafe plugin which i added to my pom.xml .

As i'm using netbeans as ide, i set the predefined maven commands via the actions tab of the project properties and i can run the integraion tests via right click to peoject and integration test sub menu under maven menu.
