Configure Failsafe for integration tests and Surefire for unit tests

[MiB]

I'm using Selenium Web driver for end to end integration testing and I have 1) refactored my integration tests to a new source folder hierarchy "src/it", 2) set up Failsafe for handling integration tests, 3) installed maven-builder-helper and finally I tried to configure surefire to ignore tests in the integration-test source folder. The latter as the name pattern of the tests didn't seem to be enough for excluding them.

I'm having the problem that all tests run when I build, either automatically via Infinitest or when I use the menu command "Run As Junit test". It would seem the latter runs all tests no matter where. I guess it isn't issuing "mvn test". So why not use the actual maven commands instead?

Ok, so I try mvn test from the menu which succeeds as integration tests does not run my 2 integration tests named "HomeIT.java" and "EntoIntegrationTest.java". That is until Infinitest kicks in again and run them all. So I try with "infinitest.filters" in the root of the project with these patterns:

**/*IT.*
**/*IntegrationTest.*

This seems to be working as the integration tests doesn't run now. Yay!

Now, when I try to run the integration-test goal failsafe runs, but the previously succeeding tests fails. Obviously the server isn't started in process and the already running instance via "Server" isn't called. How can I make the start up of a tomcat instance a part of my integration tests? Perhaps use Jetty instead?

tomcat:run doesn't run the integration tests. I must study goals better I suppose. Any pointers?

Here's my setup of Maven Failsafe:

<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.12</version>
				<configuration>
					<junitArtifactName>
						org.junit:com.springsource.org.junit
					</junitArtifactName>
				</configuration>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>integration-test</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>integration-test</goal>
						</goals>
					</execution>
					<execution>
						<id>verify</id> 
						<goals>
							<goal>verify</goal>
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>

And this is the Surefire exclusion:

<exclude>**/it/*</exclude>

and finally the Maven-Builder-Helper:

<plugin>
				<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
				<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>1.5</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>add-it-source</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>add-test-source</goal>
						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<sources>
								<source>src/it/java</source>
							</sources>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
					<execution>
						<id>add-it-resource</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>add-test-resource</goal>
						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<resources>
								<resource>
									<directory>src/it/resources</directory>
								</resource>
							</resources>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>
