How to run concordion test with maven?

Question

I am wondering how to set up maven to run concordion tests having a FooFixture.java naming convention. The tests are on the classpath in src/test/specs. I would like to do it in a separate profile.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

You can use the maven failsafe plugin to run unit Concordion tests in the integration-test phase. Its similar to the surefire plugin.

Answer 2

I finally set the tests up is by creating a different profile to run the acceptance tests.

An example given here:

        <profile>
        <id>acceptance-test</id>
        <activation>
            <property>
                <name>type</name>
                <value>acceptance</value>
            </property>
        </activation>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

                            <phase>compile</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>add-test-source</goal>
                            </goals>
