Issue
I am migrating an existing project to boot. I created a brand new project using start.spring.io and copied over the source code, etc. Everything compiles, but when I do a 'mvn test' it compiles the classes but then only executes the default 'ApplicationTests' (created by start.spring.io).
Here's an excerpt from the maven output:
[INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.6:testResources (default-testResources) @ pendview ---
[INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.
[INFO] skip non existing resourceDirectory C:\dev\pendview2\src\test\resources
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:testCompile (default-testCompile) @ pendview ---

[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:2.15:test (default-test) @ pendview ---
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's even stranger is that if I pass '-Dtest=TestAuthController' then it does run that specific unit test:
[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:testCompile (default-testCompile) @ pendview ---
[INFO] Changes detected - recompiling the module!
[INFO] Compiling 26 source files to C:\dev\pendview2\target\test-classes

[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:2.15:test (default-test) @ pendview ---
[INFO] Surefire report directory: C:\dev\pendview2\target\surefire-reports
(skipped output of AuthControllerTest for brevity)

What am I doing wrong? Does spring boot setup a surefire config that I'm not conforming to?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Trey
Solution
Spring Boot configures the Surefire plugin to run all test classes that have a name ending with Test
or Tests
but not starting with Abstract
. You can see this configuration in the spring-boot-starter-parent
pom. If your test class is named TestAuthController
then it doesn't match this configuration. Renaming it to AuthControllerTest
or AuthControllerTests
should fix your problem.
