When I run my build using maven 2
mvn clean install
my tests are run by surefire plug-in. In case test failed I get the following output:
Results :
Failed tests:
test1(com.my.MyClassTest)
Tests run: 3, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] There are test failures.
Please refer to /home/user/myproject/mymodule/target/surefire-reports for the individual test results.
To get the details about the problem I have to go and check surefire reports folder. Doing this every time my tests fail becomes annoying. Is there any way I can get those details (assert message + exception + stack trace) right here on the stdout ?
I find there's way too much output produced on stdout
to be useful. Try leaving the HTML report open in your browser. After running your tests just refresh the page. Have a look at target/surefire-reports/index.html
.
To output test results to stdout
rather than a file use the following command:
mvn test -Dsurefire.useFile=false
Or to configure in your pom.xml
add the following to your plugins
section.
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
<configuration>
<useFile>false</useFile>
</configuration>
</plugin>
