I'm pretty new to java, maven, and the elasticsearch source, but I'd
like to implement sorting with missing string values
([https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1529](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/1529)). Is it
possible to run a specific sort integration tests with maven? "mvn
integration-test" helps, but still takes a while to run through the
test suite.
Thanks,
Erick

It is possible:
[http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/single-test.html](http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/single-test.html)

... but easier if you are using an IDE (like NetBeans ;)) where you
can visually and faster select and run/debug a test+method.

Peter.

Is this advice still valid?
I've tried different variations of the mvn test command with no luck so
far. Example :
$ ES\_TEST\_LOCAL=true mvn test
-Dtest=SimpleValidateQueryTests#simpleValidateQuery
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[...]
Executing 501 suites with 3 JVMs.
[...]
Suite: org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.bucket.GeoDistanceTests
[...]
Can you give me a cli example of executing a specific test? Or do I have to
use an IDE?
Thanks,
Alex

Hey,
please checkout the TESTING.asciidoc in the main folder of the source.
tests.class is the parameter you are searching for.
