iru-java-test

name	iru-java-test
description	Run a Java project's JUnit test suite via the Maven Surefire plugin (`mvn test`), optionally scoped to specific test classes, methods, packages, or tags. Invoke as `/iru-java-test` to run the full suite, or `/iru-java-test <selector>` where `<selector>` names a class (`FooTest`), a class+method (`FooTest#testSomething`), a wildcard/package pattern, or a tag expression. Use whenever the user wants to run, re-run, or narrow down unit tests instead of a full `mvn clean test`.

Java Test

Run the project's JUnit tests through Maven Surefire, scoping the run to whatever the user asked for. This skill only runs tests and reports results — it does not fix failures unless asked to as a follow-up.

Step 1 — Determine scope from the argument

The skill may be invoked with no argument (run everything) or with a selector describing what to run. Map the selector to the correct Surefire parameter:

What the user wants	Parameter	Example
Everything	(none)	mvn test
One test class	-Dtest	mvn test -Dtest=FooTest
One method in a class	-Dtest with #	mvn test -Dtest=FooTest#testSomething
Several methods in one class	-Dtest with + between method names after #	mvn test -Dtest=FooTest#method1+method2
Several classes	-Dtest comma-separated	mvn test -Dtest=FooTest,BarTest
Classes matching a name pattern	-Dtest with * wildcard	mvn test -Dtest=*ServiceTest
All classes in a package	-Dtest with the package path and wildcard	mvn test -Dtest=com.example.pkg.**
Excluding some classes/methods	-Dtest with ! prefix (combine with other -Dtest entries via comma)	mvn test -Dtest=!SlowTest
Tests tagged with a JUnit 5 @Tag	-Dgroups	mvn test -Dgroups="fast"
Excluding a JUnit 5 tag	-DexcludedGroups	mvn test -DexcludedGroups="slow"
Tag boolean expression	-Dgroups with &, `	, !`

Notes:

• The -Dtest value accepts the class simple name without the .java/.class extension.
• #method selection and -Dgroups/-DexcludedGroups tag filtering require JUnit 4.x, JUnit 5, or TestNG (not plain JUnit 3). Check the project's pom.xml for its test framework/dependency versions if unsure which syntax applies; JUnit 5 @Tag values map directly to -Dgroups/-DexcludedGroups, TestNG groups likewise.
• If the selector the user gave doesn't match any known test (typo in class/method name), Surefire fails the build with "No tests matching pattern...". Add -DfailIfNoSpecifiedTests=false only if the user explicitly wants a missing-selector to be a no-op rather than a failure — don't add it by default, since silently running zero tests is usually not what's wanted.

Step 2 — Build and run the command

Compose the full Maven invocation from the working directory at the repository root:

mvn test -Dtest=<selector>

Combine multiple parameters with spaces if both a class/method selector and a tag filter are needed, e.g.:

mvn test -Dtest=FooTest -Dgroups="fast"

Run it with the Bash tool. Do not add unrelated flags (e.g. -o, -q, skip-checks) unless the user asks for them or a prior step in this conversation already established they're needed.

Step 3 — Report results

Summarize the Surefire output concisely:

• Total tests run, failures, errors, skipped (Surefire prints a Tests run: X, Failures: Y, Errors: Z, Skipped: W line per class and a totals line at the end).
• If everything passed, say so briefly — don't paste the full log.
• If there are failures/errors, show the failing test names and the relevant assertion/exception output (from target/surefire-reports/*.txt if the console output was truncated), but don't dump unrelated passing-test noise.
• Do not attempt to fix failing tests or modify source/test code unless the user asks for that as a next step.
