Configuring the Maven plugin in the pom.xml file
The below is handled automatically when using the automatic pom integration (Scanning Builds and Tests using SeaLights Maven plugin - Automatic configuration) with build scanner 2.0.1045 and up
When working with failsafe, you need to update the argLine of failsafe to include the SeaLights test listener and a testStage definition.
Here is a sample configuration for failsafe with the updated argLine at line 8:
<configuration>
</configuration>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.failsafe.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<argLine>${argLine} @{sealightsArgLine} -Dsl.testStage="Integration Tests"</argLine>
<includes>
<include>**/IT/**/*Test*</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>You can set an empty property called sealightsArgLine so that the build will not fail when the SeaLights maven plugin doesn't run
<properties>
...
<sealightsArgLine></sealightsArgLine>
</properties>Note: As the integration tests usually run against a server, you also need to set it up with the SeaLights test listener as a javaagent
See 'Java Command Reference - Installing test listener as Java Agent' for more parameter values and information
