The previous tutorial explains to configure Junit in IntelliJ and run the tests as JUnit Tests. This tutorial shows the steps to run the tests through command line. We can ask, why we need to run the tests through command line?? There are many reasons, one of the reason is to achieve CI/CD. To run the tests in pipeline, they need to be run through command line. Another reason is that we don’t need to open the IDE to run the tests. Third reason is that many reports are only generated (Serenity, Cucumber), if the tests run through command line.
Below is a JUnit5 test.
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
public class Demo {
WebDriver driver;
@BeforeEach
public void setUp() {
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
driver.manage().window().fullscreen();
}
@Test
public void Junit5Test() {
driver.get("http://automationpractice.com/index.php");
System.out.println("Title of Page :" + driver.getTitle());
System.out.println("Page URL : " + driver.getCurrentUrl());
Assertions.assertEquals("My Store",driver.getTitle());
}
@AfterEach
public void tearDown() {
driver.close();
}
}
Let us see what happens when we try to run the JUnit tests through Command Line. This command is used to run the tests present in Demo class.
mvn clean test -Dtest=Demo
The output generated by the test is shown below
This shows that surefire-plugin is need to be add to the project to run t he tests successfully through command line.
Add surefire-plugin to the project
Go back to the Apache Maven Project and copy the code.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
<version>5.8.2</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>

</dependency>
</dependencies>

</build>
Again run the tests through command line using the command mentioned above. Now, will see that the tests are executed successfully.
Congratulations. We can see that JUnit5 tests are executed through command line. Happy Learning!!
