Making Maven run all tests, even when some fail

Either configure Surefire with <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>.

Or on the command line:

mvn install -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true

I just found the -fae parameter, which causes Maven to run all tests and not stop on failure.


From the Maven Embedder documentation:

-fae,--fail-at-end Only fail the build afterwards; allow all non-impacted builds to continue

-fn,--fail-never NEVER fail the build, regardless of project result

So if you are testing one module than you are safe using -fae.

Otherwise, if you have multiple modules, and if you want all of them tested (even the ones that depend on the failing tests module), you should run mvn clean install -fn.
-fae will continue with the module that has a failing test (will run all other tests), but all modules that depend on it will be skipped.


Try to add the following configuration for surefire plugin in your pom.xml of root project:

<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
