Maven don't execute junit test

Question

I'm trying to test this project: https://github.com/deglans/jenktest but maven say that:

$ mvn clean install

What is the warning and why maven completely skip the test phase?

The final purpose of this work is to test email jenkins feature, but for now I'm blocked by this problem...

Thanks

Summary

You need to either rename GreetingTests.java to GreetingTest.java, or update your maven-surefire-plugin. Updating surefire plugin can provide better pattern for inclusions of tests. You can declare it in project's parent POM ./pom.xml:

<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">
  <!-- ... -->

  <build>
    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.20.1</version>
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
  </build>
</project>

What is the warning and why maven completely skip the test phase?

Maven didn't skip the test phase. Maven unit tests are executed by maven-surefire-plugin, and it has been triggered correctly:

[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test (default-test) @ hello ---

You need to rename your test to GreetingTests.java to GreetingTest.java. Because the surefire-plugin:2.12.4 does not recognize pattern *Tests.java, as documented here:

By default, the plugin will automatically include all test classes with the following wildcard patterns:

• "**/Test*.java" - includes all of its subdirectories and all java filenames that start with "Test".

• "**/*Test.java" - includes all of its subdirectories and all java filenames that end with "Test".

• "**/*TestCase.java" - includes all of its subdirectories and all java filenames that end with "TestCase".
