What is Maven goal in Jenkins?

Earlier, we had learnt How To Install Maven in Eclipse and then we learnt How To Create Maven Project in Eclipse. Today in this post, we are going to see How To Execute Maven Project Using Jenkins. To do this, we need to have the following

i. Maven – Check this post on Installation of Maven.
ii. Maven Project – Check this post on Creating Maven Project.
ii. Jenkins – Check this post on Installation of Jenkins.

Firstly install Maven in Eclipse IDE and create a Maven Project. Next, open Jenkins and create a new Job to execute Maven Project using Jenkins.

Execute Maven Project Using Jenkins:

In this article, we see how to execute maven project using jenkins.

Click on New Item link to create a job on Jenkins

Step 2:- Provide the job description

Step 3:- In Source Code Management, Jenkins supports CVS and Subversion out of the box, with built-in support for Git, and also integrates with many other version control systems via plugins. We will look into these details in next articles.

Now lets make it simple and select 'None' to execute from local machine.

Step 4:- Build Triggers, We have multiple options like 'Build periodically', 'Poll SCM', 'Build whenever a SNAPSHOT dependency is built, etc. Example, if you select 'Poll SCM' option, Jenkins will poll the repository for changes based on the cron expression specified. We will see more details in the coming tutorials.

Please select any of the option based on your needs.

Step 5:- In Build, We need to tell Jenkins where to find pom.xml file. Please specify the path of your pom.xml file in Build Root POM and Specify 'Goals and options', in this example 'clean test'.

Below is the pom.xml file :

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://ma... http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
   <groupId>com.easy</groupId>
   <artifactId>mavenparameterize</artifactId>
   <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
   <name>My Maven Project</name>
   <description>This is a simple Maven Project</description>
   <properties>
      <jre.level>1.8</jre.level>
      <jdk.level>1.8</jdk.level>
   </properties>
   <build>
      <plugins>
         <!-- Compiler plug-in -->
         <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.5.1</version>
            <configuration>
               <source>${jdk.level}</source>
               <target>${jdk.level}</target>
            </configuration>
         </plugin>
         <!-- Added Surefire Plugin configuration to execute tests -->
         <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.19.1</version>
            <configuration>
               <suiteXmlFiles>
              <suiteXmlFile>patienttests.xml</suiteXmlFile>
               </suiteXmlFiles>
               <systemPropertyVariables>
                  <browserName>firefox</browserName>
               </systemPropertyVariables>
            </configuration>
         </plugin>
      </plugins>
   </build>
   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
         <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
         <version>6.9.8</version>
         <scope>test</scope>
      </dependency>
   </dependencies>
</project>

[Optional]

Step 6:- In Build Settings, If you want to send an email notifications, you can check 'Email Notification' and add Recipients address.

Step 7:- In Post Build Actions, You can chose steps such as Archive Artifacts, Publish Results etc.

After executing the Build, you can view the result as below:

• ‹ Parametrize to Execute TestNG.xml using Maven
• Jenkins configuration with Maven and GitHub ›

Jenkins job for TestNG suites

Permalink Submitted by Vidhya on Tue, 06/12/2018 - 03:09

Hi I refer your link many a times. Thank you . I have a scenario where I have multiple testNG suites. I have Jenkins configured and I am able to run the suites though the POM .I am trying to check with you if there is a way we can trigger the Jenkin job seperately for each testNG suite. This is basically each suite takes about an hour so I want to schedule separate jobs so that we don't have to wait too long for all the suites to run completely.
