I'm trying to set up a Gitlab CI/CD pipeline for our Dockerized Java app. The way this pipeline works is we have separate steps for building our Docker image and for running our unit tests. The unit test step is supposed to output an HTML test report which is uploaded as a job artifact, and also return an error if the tests fail so that the pipeline does not continue on to the deployment step.
The problem I'm having is I can't find a way to invoke Maven such that I get both an HTML report and a nonzero return code if the tests fail: * If I invoke mvn 'surefire-report:report' or mvn 'surefire-report:report' 'test' , then I get an HTML report, but the return code is 0 even if there are failed unit tests. * If I invoke mvn 'test' 'surefire-report:report' , then, if there are failed tests, it exits with return code 1 - but it also exits without writing the HTML report. (If there are no failed tests, then it does write the report, but a report that's only generated when nothing fails is of limited use.) * My current workaround is mvn 'surefire-report:report' && mvn 'test' , which works, but also runs the tests twice.
