Possible to Skip Junit tests only in Jenkins?

Currently our companies Jenkins deploy process isn't set up to read external property files for testing. I would still like to write and run tests locally and then have tests be skipped when pushed to github (where a jenkins process gets kicked of to build the app and push it into a container).

Is it possible to programmatically tell surefire pluggin to only run in a local environment but not to run in the Jenkins pipeline?

I know I can use the following config:

<configuration>
     <skipTests>true</skipTests>
</configuration>

but this means I need to remember to comment and uncomment each time I push, and I would rather not do that.

Thank you

The answer of @NullPointerExeption is an option. You can also use maven profiles for that. e.g.

    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>jenkins</id>
            <activation>
                <property>
                    <name>jenkins</name>
                </property>
            </activation>
            <build>
                <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                        <configuration>
                            <skipTests>true</skipTests>
                        </configuration>
                    </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>
        </profile>
    </profiles>

</project>

When a developer run tests they will be executed as skipTests is false by default

From Jenkins use

mvn clean verify -Pjenkins

This will skip tests. In general it's good to have a jenkins profile and place all the staff that it's related to jenkins environment in this profile More on profiles here

You can specify the build in your jenkins file to skip the test during build stage. This will ensure your project is build skipping tests

stages {
    stage('Build') { 
        steps {
            sh 'mvn clean package  -DskipTests' 
        }
    }
}
