Maven: Check Argument Before Running Test

I would like maven to run test phase only if a parameter is defined. For example:

mvn test -Dserver=hosname

If server was not specified (or empty) - I don't want the test to run (not in mvn test, nor in mvn install).

How do I do that? How do I get the value of the parameter (e.g. "server") inside my code?

The profile can be used like this:

<profiles>
  <profile>
    <activation>
      <property>
        <name>server</name>
      </property>
    </activation>
    <!-- do whatever you need to do -->
  </profile>
</profiles>

Assuming you are using junit:

  • If one test: use Assume to check the property (see @BeforeClass below) and skip the test if the property is null
  • If many, create a parent class and make your tests extend it:

.

public class RunIfServerProperty {
    @BeforeClass
    public static void oneTimeSetup() {
        Assume.assumeNotNull(System.getProperty("server"));
    }
}

see also Assume javadoc
