Can I split maven compilation / package and maven test between two bamboo jobs?

[Peter Kahn]

Hi all,

I have a large build where tests sometimes prevent creation of artifacts. I'd like my plan to

• build and publish my artifacts in the first job
• run unit / integration tests in a second job

I don't want to lengthen my build time by needlessly rebuilding and repackaging my artifacts. Has anyone split a maven build like this?

Thanks

Peter

I asked the same question on stack overflow and got the following how to advice for splitting these maven pieces (call the plugins directly):

# Build Artifacts
mvn install -DskipTests

# Run Tests
mvn surefire:test failsafe:integration-test

I'm using two Tasks in my plan to perform these two steps.
