Java – Excluding tests from being run in IntellIJ

intellij-ideajavajunitmaven

Is it no option to exclude some tests in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate? I want to run unit tests in IntelliJ but exclude the integration tests. I name the integration tests with *IT.java so the Maven failsafe plugin can run them seperatly from the unit tests.

In the JUnit Run configuration set the Test kind to Pattern, specify the following regular expression as the pattern:

^(?!.*IT$).*$

It matches against the class name, so you don't need to match .java extension. Regular expression will not match if the class name ends with IT using the negative lookahead.

ignore tests ending with IT
