Can we start the maven build from the point where it failed

Question

Suppose, I am doing a full build on my large project which has 7 modules and on the 6th module, the build failed because a test failed. Is there any way by which I can start

Answer 1

You can resume the build from the 6th module using -rf or --resume-from:

-rf, --resume-from
          Resume reactor from specified project

See the Advanced Reactor Options for details.

Answer 2

Here is the example

mvn clean install -rf :your-module

Answer 3

Syntax: mvn -rf modulename mavengoal or mvn --resume-from modulename mavengoal

Ex: mvn -rf admin-module clean install or mvn --resume-from admin-module clean install

Answer 4

You could run the build of module 6 separately to see if it still fails, but I'm afraid that you need to build all modules from the beginning when you want to run the "big" build.

Edit: Of course the subsequent builds will be faster because the code of modules 1-5 are already compiled, unless you run clean as part of your build.

Answer 5

look at the maven summary and you will see the executed modules and where maven is stopped. then try this:

mvn clean install-Dmaven.test.skip=true -rf :yourModule

Answer 6

you can resume the build from any module you want by using the -rf command. For example, if your build failed in myproject-proxy, you can use the following command:

mvn -rf myproject-proxy clean install
