skip a single junit test from command line

[Tranquil]

Hi,

Is there a way to skip a single junit test while running from command line
(without changing the java code or pom.xml?)

mvn install -DskipTests -> this will work for all tests

so something like mvn install -DskipTests='path/to/test/Test.java'  to
ignore a single one... ?


thanks!

No, there isn't. (Unless you're using TestNG and have an appropriate group
which you can exclude through excludedGroups).

Kind of,

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/single-test.html

mvn -Dtest=TestSquare,TestCi*le test

But that would require you to craft an expression that included every
test BUT the one you wanted.
Which is unlikely to be possible.

Why are you trying to skip one test?
Why not fix the code so it works, or disable the test in the code, or use
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#testFailureIgnore
to ignore the fact that the test is failing.
