run-tests

A set of instructions for running Java project tests with Maven, a build tool that also executes tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run all tests, test one module or class, select a method, or identify environment variables needed by tests.
Why use it?
It avoids guessing the right test command and covers whole projects, individual modules, selected tests, and test modes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

run-tests scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run Tests (Maven)

Use Maven (mvn) to run tests. Confirm you are in a directory with a pom.xml (project root or module root).

Common commands

All tests (default)

mvn test

Specific module (multi-module)

mvn -pl <module> -am test

Specific test class or method (Surefire)

mvn -Dtest=MyTest test
mvn -Dtest=MyTest#myMethod test

Test modes (AZURE_TEST_MODE)

If the user asks for live/record/playback, set the env var for the command:

$env:AZURE_TEST_MODE = "LIVE"
mvn test

Running tests with secrets

Tests often require environment variables with connection strings, keys, or other secrets. If another skill or tool for loading secrets or work resources is available, consult the user and use it. Otherwise, ask the user to provide the required environment variables manually. To discover which variables are needed, search for classes named *ClientTestBase in the test sources — these typically define the expected environment variable names.

Steps

  1. Ensure you're in the correct Maven project directory (contains pom.xml). If not, ask for the correct path.
  2. Start simple: mvn "-Dtest=<TestClass>" test. Only add flags if something fails.
  3. If the user provides a test name, use -Dtest=<pattern>.
  4. If the user specifies a module, use -pl <module> -am test.
  5. If the user specifies a test mode (LIVE/RECORD/PLAYBACK), set the env var.
  6. If tests require secrets, use an available skill or tool for loading secrets if one exists (consult the user first); otherwise ask the user to provide the required environment variables manually.
  7. If the command fails, report the error output and ask how they want to proceed.

Troubleshooting (only add flags when needed)

Apply these only if the simple mvn test command fails with the specific error described:

  • Samples fail to compile on Java 8 base-testCompile: add -Dbuildhelper.addtestsource.skip=true -Dbuildhelper.addtestresource.skip=true
  • JPMS/module-path errors (e.g., okio module issues): add -Dsurefire.useModulePath=false
  • Build plugins block the run: add skip flags as needed, e.g. -Denforcer.skip=true -Dcodesnippet.skip=true -Dcheckstyle.skip=true
  • Reactor blocking errors in async tests (Netty thread): add $env:AZURE_TEST_HTTP_CLIENTS = "okhttp"
  • SSL handshake / PKIX path building failed (SSLHandshakeException, unable to find valid certification path to requested target): the JVM's trust store is missing the corporate root CA. On Windows, add -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=WINDOWS-ROOT to use the Windows certificate store. On Linux/macOS, the corporate root CA must be imported into the JVM trust store (or configure a custom one via -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore / -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword). This is common on corporate networks with proxy/firewall TLS interception.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

run-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-sdk-for-java (2,565 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 759 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
