The idea is to launch the jetty server using jetty-maven-plugin than execute the jasmine tests using exec-maven-plugin.

Currently i have to do the following:

run "jetty:run" to start the jetty server
run "mvn test" to run the tests

it works fine!!

BUT:

Well, i'm hoping to be able to only run "mvn test" and the jetty server will automatically start, currently it does not happen and the tests fails i have to run "jetty:run" manually first

I went back and forth and couldn't get it to work

Any help please!! Thank you. Kais.

From what I can tell you're not using this is an integration test, so invoke the jetty-maven-plugin in the test-compile phase instead.

Alternatively, set this up in the pre-integration-test phase, as suggested by Karl-Heinz and then have your tests executed with the failsafe-maven-plugin in the integration-test phase.
