maven :: run only single test in multi-module project

Question

Is there any way to provide some command-line argument in order to skip all tests but one on some module? So I will not need to change pom.xml every time I will need to run anot

Answer 1

I assume you've read the docs about running a single test under surefire? What they don't tell you is how to do that in a sub-module:

mvn test -Dtest=testname -pl subproject

Where subproject is the project containing that test. From the mvn man page:

-pl,--projects arg Comma-delimited list of specified reactor projects to build instead of all projects. A project can be specified by [groupId]:artifactId or by its relative path.
