How to add excludedGroups argument to maven command

i have 2 maven profiles in my parent/pom.xml file .

The first profile run only a certain group.

<configuration>
<groups>com.XXXXXXX.common.daily.util.UnitTest</groups> 
</configuration>

the second profile one run all the tests.

I would like to use an argument on the maven command in the second profile that will exclude this:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                <groups>com.XXXXXX.common.daily.util.UnitTest</groups> 
                   <skipTests>${skipFastTests}</skipTests>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

i don't want to change the pom.xml for the second profile.

I want to know how to add additional parameter for excludedGroups ?

mvn test -P=profile2   ______

You can exclude a category in the plugin configuration in the pom file. But if you want to dynamically exclude a given group via the mvn command line, you can do so by using the 'excludedGroups' parameter like so:

mvn test -DexcludedGroups=com.group.ExcludedCategory

in either surefire or failsafe, add <excludedGroups>${excluded.tests}</excludedGroups> and then define this variable excluded.tests to be the interface that is used in @Category to mark which tests to bypass.

finally, when running an excluded tests in command line, override this value. It seems you are excluding com.XXXXXX.common.daily.util.UnitTest. Either define it empty in your profile and override with that; or exclude by default but override with empty.
