Maven won't run tests

Question

When running mvn test maven won\'t run all Test Classes. When I explicitly provide a class by adding -Dtest=PropertyTests the tests will be run.

You need to add the maven surefire plugin to run the tests. The configuration can be found here.

Here's a configuration that I've been using with specs/junit.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <includes>
            <include>**/*Spec.*</include>
            <include>**/*Test.*</include>
        </includes>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

The naming convention is Test, so change PropertyTests to PropertyTest.
