Skip single test with maven with command line options

Question

I would like to skip a single test (e.g. com.example.MyTest) when building a project with Maven from the command line.

I\'m aware of similar questions like

Answer 1

It turns out that (at least in Surefire 2.19), the test pattern doesn't work with fully qualified class names. So the right solution is

mvn clean install -Dtest="*,!MyTest"

i.e. without the package path.

In Surefire 2.19.1, it should be possible to use fully qualified names. In versions older than 2.19, neither seems to work.
