        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

and i run this command :

mvn clean compile test -DskipTests=false     

this is console log:

[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:testCompile (default-testCompile) @ jenkins-tutorial ---
[INFO] Changes detected - recompiling the module!
[WARNING] File encoding has not been set, using platform encoding UTF-8, i.e. build is platform dependent!
[INFO] Compiling 1 source file to /home/mah454/Programming/java/jenkins-tutorial/target/test-classes
[INFO] 
[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M5:test (default-test) @ jenkins-tutorial ---
[INFO] Tests are skipped.

according to this document:
https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/skipping-tests.html
I want to run test in this case .
How can fix this problem ?

Here's my project: https://github.com/mah454/jenkins-tutorial

Solution

Rename SampleTestClass in your project to SampleTest and then you can run the command:

mvn test -DskipTests=false

The default name for a test class must end with Test.

Or you can change the includes configuration to:

<includes>
    <include>*TestClass</include>
</includes>
