Can I run a specific testng test group via maven?

Question

I have several testng test groups, e.g. group1,group2,group3... These are defined in my pom.xml and all get run when I execute "mvn test". What do I need to run to only execute one group without having to modify the groups configured in the pom.xml.

i.e mvn test group2 mvn test group1 mvn test group3

Try

mvn test -Dgroups=group3,group2

Is there any way to run tests having BOTH group3 and group2? – Aleurone

Answer 2

I came across this question while looking how to disable particular test group and Radadiya's answer confused me a bit.

To run particular groups use this, as mentioned by Eugene Kuleshov. docs

mvn test -Dgroups=group1,group2

But to exclude some group, use this (note excluded vs exclude). docs .

mvn test -DexcludedGroups=group3,group4

Answer 3

You can include and exclude specific group during maven test execution.

(1) Include Specific Groups

mvn clean test -DincludeGroups=TestGroup1,TestGroup2

(2) Exclude Specific Groups

mvn clean test -DexcludeGroups=TestGroup3,TestGroup4

See Mikalai's post below with links to maven documentation. – Cascarilla

includeGroups doesn't seem to exist. Use the suggested groups – Eshman
