Maven commands start with ‘mvn’ and all the commands execute on the project level.
#1) mvn clean
This command cleans the project and deletes all temporary files, previous references, or builds whatever your current project has. So, usually, this is preferred before the execution of any test.
Use of ‘mvn clean’ command:
After you fix any error then it's better to clean the project. So you can use this command for cleaning your project.
#2) mvn compile
This command checks the syntax error of the code.
Use of mvn compile command:
When we run 100 test cases and got an error like missing semicolon or something like this then this command will the that got error at the line this in this class.
#3) mvn test
This command triggers all the tests in the src/test/java folder.
Use of ‘mvn test’ command:
If we use the ‘mvn test’ command directly without using the other two commands i.e. ‘mvn clean’ and ‘mvn compile’ then this command by default performs cleaning and compilation before test execution as a prerequisite. So you can directly use the ‘mvn test’ command.
For the first time, this command will take 1 or 2 minutes to load all the jar files from maven repository.
After downloading all the jar files and dependencies, it shows the result. Here, you can see all the tests result and result in descriptions 👆.
