overwriting maven skip tests by default

I have a maven with this pom.xml

..
<properties>
        <!-- Skip tests by default-->
        <skipTests>true</skipTests>

        <!-- Build complete package by default; use -Dskip.npm.install=true -Dskip.npm.build=true when working on backend code -->
        <skip.npm.install>false</skip.npm.install>
        <skip.npm.build>false</skip.npm.build>

        <node.version>v10.13.0</node.version>
        <springboot.version>2.0.3.RELEASE</springboot.version>
        <kerberos.version>1.0.1.RELEASE</kerberos.version>
    </properties>
..

I run this command to avoid skipping tests, but the tests are not run

mvn test -Dmaven.test.skip=false

Solution

  • The user property is skipTests, so use

    mvn test -DskipTests=false
