Maven fail-safe not executing tests

Question

I've combed StackOverflow and many other sites, have found many other related posts and have followed all said suggestions, but in the end, failsafe is skipping my tests.

My JUnit test is located here: myModule/src/main/test/java/ClientAccessIT.java

I am skipping surefire because there are no unit tests in this module:

<!-- POM snippet -->
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
  <skip>true</skip>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

And I'm trying to run integration tests with failsafe:

<!-- POM snippet -->
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>run-tests</id>
            <phase>integration-test</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>integration-test</goal>
                <goal>verify</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

However, when I run mvn verify I see this:

[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.14.1:integration-test (run-tests) @ rest-services-test ---

Results :

Tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

I spent the last 4 1/2 hours scouring, any help would be appreciated. The only other thing that may be worth mentioning is that I have Cargo setting up and tearing down a Tomcat container. Does anybody see the glaring problem?

Your tests are not in the default test sources directory src/test/java. See:

https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html

myModule/src/main/test/java/ClientAccessIT.java

should be:

myModule/src/test/java/ClientAccessIT.java

You could also update your pom file (if you really wanted tests to live in main) to include:

<build>
    <testSources>
        <testSource>
            <directory>src/main/test</directory>
        </testSource>
    </testSources>
</build>
