Run Tests

Run Tests (Maven)

Use Maven (mvn) to run tests. Confirm you are in a directory with a pom.xml (project root or module root).

Common commands

All tests (default)

mvn test

Specific module (multi-module)

mvn -pl <module> -am test

Specific test class or method (Surefire)

mvn -Dtest=MyTest test
mvn -Dtest=MyTest#myMethod test

Test modes (AZURE_TEST_MODE)

If the user asks for live/record/playback, set the env var for the command:

$env:AZURE_TEST_MODE = "LIVE"
mvn test

Running tests with secrets

Tests often require environment variables with connection strings, keys, or other secrets. If another skill or tool for loading secrets or work resources is available, consult the user and use it. Otherwise, ask the user to provide the required environment variables manually. To discover which variables are needed, search for classes named *ClientTestBase in the test sources — these typically define the expected environment variable names.

Steps

• Ensure you're in the correct Maven project directory (contains pom.xml). If not, ask for the correct path.
• Start simple: mvn "-Dtest=<TestClass>" test. Only add flags if something fails.
• If the user provides a test name, use -Dtest=<pattern>.
• If the user specifies a module, use -pl <module> -am test.
• If the user specifies a test mode (LIVE/RECORD/PLAYBACK), set the env var.
• If tests require secrets, use an available skill or tool for loading secrets if one exists (consult the user first); otherwise ask the user to provide the required environment variables manually.
• If the command fails, report the error output and ask how they want to proceed.

Troubleshooting (only add flags when needed)

Apply these only if the simple mvn test command fails with the specific error described:

• Samples fail to compile on Java 8 base-testCompile: add -Dbuildhelper.addtestsource.skip=true -Dbuildhelper.addtestresource.skip=true
• JPMS/module-path errors (e.g., okio module issues): add -Dsurefire.useModulePath=false
• Build plugins block the run: add skip flags as needed, e.g. -Denforcer.skip=true -Dcodesnippet.skip=true -Dcheckstyle.skip=true
• Reactor blocking errors in async tests (Netty thread): add $env:AZURE_TEST_HTTP_CLIENTS = "okhttp"
• SSL handshake / PKIX path building failed (SSLHandshakeException, unable to find valid certification path to requested target): the JVM's trust store is missing the corporate root CA. On Windows, add -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=WINDOWS-ROOT to use the Windows certificate store. On Linux/macOS, the corporate root CA must be imported into the JVM trust store (or configure a custom one via -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore / -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword). This is common on corporate networks with proxy/firewall TLS interception.

Do NOT preemptively add all these flags. Start simple and escalate only on failure.
