how to get maven to run all tests but still fail build on compile error-CodePudding

Is this possible at all? If so, how? Is a custom plugin needed? If it's not possible, it would be nice to understand why not. Note that the following "brute force" solution certainly works: first run in "skip tests" mode, and then run a second time in normal mode. But something a bit more elegant would be nice, especially since I'd rather not have to depend on maven being smart enough enough to avoid recompiling everything if I do things that way.

Suppose I have a multi-module maven project. I want to run it in such a way that:

If a test fails, I still want to compile and test the next module. This sounds like a job for --fail-never, but see below.
If there are test failures, I don't really care if the build succeeds or fails. Ideally this would be configurable, but whatever.
If there are compiler errors, then the build should fail. I think this rules out "fail-never"?

CodePudding user response：

You can use surefire parameter: maven.test.failure.ignore

mvn test -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore

With this options failing test will not fail build a module and finally whole build will have success result.
