I have the following tests:
FirstUnitTest.java
SecondUnitTest.java
FirstIntegrationTest.java
SecondIntegrationTest.java
The unit tests are not marked with a category.
The two integration tests are marked with @Category(IntegrationTests.class).
I want by default to run all tests EXCEPT for the integration tests.
If, however, a profile integration-tests-only is active, i want to run ONLY the integration tests.
I naively thought the following configuration would make this work:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludedGroups>com.example.IntegrationTests</excludedGroups>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>integration-tests-only</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<groups>com.example.IntegrationTests</groups>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
But while running the tests without a profile does exactly what I want - run only the unit tests, if I activate the integration-tests-only profile no tests run at all.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
