Running Spring boot Tests from with Vim

Question

I have a Mac and iTerm2 installed, I used the command vi *file name*.java to open and edit the file. This file has unit tests annotated with the @Test keyword in Spring.

How do I run these tests from the command line instead of clicking on the Test annotation in IntelliJ?

Answer 1

If using maven: To run all test cases, go into the project's root and run (if running from somewhere else, use the path)

mvn test

To run all tests from a single class:

mvn test -Dtest=<YourTestClass>

To run a test case from a test class:

mvn test -Dtest=<name-of-your-test-class>#<name-of-your-test-method> test

If you are not using maven (or Gradle):
see: How to launch JUnit 5 (Platform) from the command line (without Maven/Gradle)?

EDIT: Looks like the OP is unable to run these commands in his/her setup. Make sure you have correct dependencies and plugins (Junit and SureFire) in your pom. E.g. I created a demo maven project with this pom (only including the Junit and Surefire).
