[FIXED] Is there any shortcut/command available to skip karma tests? like -DskipTests for Maven

Issue

I have created Maven Web application and I generally use

mvn clean install

So it execute npm install command as its one of the execution goal and then it run karma tests So my question is, is there any shortcut or command available to skip karma tests conditionally? Like we have -DskipTests for Maven project to skip tests.

Off course we can simply remove the npm run test from the package.json file but I want to skip tests using command.

pom.xml

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.github.eirslett</groupId>
            <artifactId>frontend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.5</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>npm install</id>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>npm</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <workingDirectory>web/app</workingDirectory>
                        <installDirectory>build</installDirectory>
                        <arguments>install
                            --registry=${npm.registry}
                        </arguments>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Solution

Since I am using the frontend-maven-plugin I had to add below execution to plugin.

                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>javascript tests</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>karma</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <phase>test</phase>
                    </execution>
                </executions>

After that, just using -DskipTest build argument able to skip karma tests.

mvn clean install -DskipTests
