Run a single test method with maven

Question

I know you can run all the tests in a certain class using   mvn test -Dtest classname   But I want to run an individual method and -Dtest classname methodname  doesn t seem to work

Running a set of methods in a Single Test Class With version 2.7.3, you can run only n tests in a single Test Class.

NOTE : it's supported for junit 4.x and TestNG.

You must use the following syntax

mvn -Dtest=TestCircle#mytest test

You can use patterns too

mvn -Dtest=TestCircle#test* test

As of surefire 2.12.1, you can select multiple methods (JUnit4X only at this time, patches welcome)

mvn -Dtest=TestCircle#testOne+testTwo test

New versions of JUnit contains the Categories runner  http   kentbeck github com junit doc ReleaseNotes4 8 html  But releasing procedure of JUnit is not maven based  so maven users have to put it manually to their repositories

As of surefire plugin version 2 22 1  possibly earlier  you can run single test using testnames property when using testng xml  Given a following testng xml   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt  DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM  http   testng org testng-1 0 dtd  gt   lt suite name  Suite  gt       lt test name  all-tests  gt           lt classes gt               lt class name  server Atest   gt               lt class name  server Btest   gt               lt class name  server Ctest   gt           lt  classes gt       lt  test gt       lt test name  run-A-test  gt           lt classes gt               lt class name  server Atest   gt           lt  classes gt       lt  test gt       lt test name  run-B-test  gt           lt classes gt               lt class name  server Btest   gt           lt  classes gt       lt  test gt       lt test name  run-C-test  gt           lt classes gt               lt class name  server Ctest   gt           lt  classes gt       lt  test gt   lt  suite gt     with the pom xml   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt project xmlns  http   maven apache org POM 4 0 0  xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance  xsi schemaLocation  http   maven apache org POM 4 0 0 http   maven apache org xsd maven-4 0 0 xsd  gt       lt modelVersion gt 4 0 0 lt  modelVersion gt                 lt properties gt           lt selectedTests gt all-tests lt  selectedTests gt       lt  properties gt                 lt plugins gt           lt plugin gt               lt groupId gt org apache maven plugins lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt maven-surefire-plugin lt  artifactId gt               lt version gt 2 22 1 lt  version gt               lt configuration gt                   lt suiteXmlFiles gt                       lt file gt src test resources testng xml lt  file gt                   lt  suiteXmlFiles gt                   lt properties gt                       lt property gt                           lt name gt testnames lt  name gt                           lt value gt   selectedTests  lt  value gt                       lt  property gt                   lt  properties gt               lt  configuration gt           lt  plugin gt       lt  plugins gt             lt  project gt    From command line  mvn clean test -DselectedTests run-B-test   Further reading - Maven surefire plugin using testng

The test parameter mentioned by tobrien allows you to specify a method using a   before the method name  This should work for JUnit and TestNG  I ve never tried it  just read it on the Surefire Plugin page      Specify this parameter to run individual tests by file name  overriding the includes excludes parameters  Each pattern you specify here will be used to create an include pattern formatted like      test  java  so you can just type  -Dtest MyTest  to run a single test called  foo MyTest java     This parameter overrides the includes excludes parameters  and the TestNG suiteXmlFiles parameter  since 2 7 3 You can execute a limited number of method in the test with adding  myMethod or  my ethod  Si type  -Dtest MyTest myMethod  supported for junit 4 x and testNg

You can run a single test class  but not a single method within a test class    You use the simple name of the class not the fully-qualified name of the class    So  if you have a test in  org sonatype test MyTest  and that is the only test you want to run  your command line would look like this   mvn test -Dtest MyTest

You can run specific test class es  and method s  using the following syntax         full package   mvn test -Dtest  com oracle tests       all method in a class   mvn test -Dtest CLASS NAME1   single method from single class  mvn test -Dtest CLASS NAME1 METHOD NAME1   multiple method from multiple class   mvn test -Dtest CLASS NAME1 METHOD NAME1 CLASS NAME2 METHOD NAME2

I tried several solutions provided in this thread  however they were not working for module which depends on a different one  In that case I had to run mvn from the root-module with additional parameters  -am  --also-make   which tells maven to built modules which your test module depends on and -DfailIfNoTests false  otherwise  quot No tests were executed  quot  error appears  mvn test -pl B -Dtest MyTestClass myTest -am -DfailIfNoTests false  pom xml section in root   lt modules gt       lt module gt A lt  module gt       lt module gt B lt  module gt   lt modules gt   B depends on A

To run a single test method in Maven  you need to provide the command as   mvn test -Dtest TestCircle xyz test   where TestCircle is the test class name and xyz is the test method   Wild card characters also work  both in the method name and class name   If you re testing in a multi-module project  specify the module that the test is in with -pl  lt module-name gt    For integration tests use it test     option instead of test       mvn -pl  lt module-name gt  -Dit test TestCircle xyz integration-test
