How to generate report for integration tests using mvn site command

Question

I have some Unit Tests (classes *Test.java in src/test folder, executed by Surefire Plugin) and some other Integration Tests (classes *IT.java in src/it folder, executed by Failsafe Plugin): .xml and .txt reports are correctly generated in folders target/surfire-reports and target/failsafe-reports when I run
mvn install .

Furthermore I would like to have html reports: I think that the best solution should be to use mvn site, in order to have also CSS files.
However, now only unit tests are executed, so only target/surfire-reports are generated and obviously the only html doc that is generated is about unit tests.

POM snippet below:

<build>
...
   <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      ...
   </plugin>
   <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
      ...
      <goal>integration-test</goal>
      <goal>verify</goal>
      ...
   </plugin>
   <plugin> 
      // definition of build helper maven plugin for the registration 
      // of the src/it folder
   </plugin>
...
</build>

<reporting>
  <plugins>
     <plugin>
         <groupId>org.maven.maven.plugins</groupId>
         <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>2.19.1</version>
     </plugin>
   </plugins>
</reporting>

Clearly, mvn site doesn't execute integration-test goal, but how can I solve?

PS: A silly solution is to run mvn site after mvn install (without a clean), but I would like to have something smarter.

Answer 1

There are three built-in build lifecycles: default, clean and site. The default lifecycle handles your project deployment, the clean lifecycle handles project cleaning, while the site lifecycle handles the creation of your project's site documentation.

• In default lifecycle you'll find "verify" step which is the one that will run you integration tests
• In site lifecycle, you'll have your site execution.

So the command should be :

mvn clean verify site

(always clean your workspace unless special requirements)

Use JaCoCo plugin in your pom adn just run mvn clean verify command. It is open source and very easy to implement.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
    <artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>0.7.7.201606060606</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>prepare-agent</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>report</id>
            <phase>prepare-package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>report</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

add this in your pom.xml. It will generate reports in target/site/jacoco directory. if you want to integrate it with SonarQube it is very easy to setup add few params and run command mvn sonar:sonar. for more details: https://medium.com/backend-habit/generate-codecoverage-report-with-jacoco-and-sonarqube-ed15c4045885
