Maven verify compiled and build the jar again

[guptadeepak0687]

Whenever i triggered the serenity BDD test cases using mvn verify command. I noticed it always start from compilation, build and then run the test cases, why compilation and building is required again and again?
Can't we build once and use multiple times.?

Did anyone get a chance to look at this?

That's just the way maven works (it's not related to Serenity).

Thanks John, that triggers another point, is their any way to run serenity without maven?

[wakaleo]

No, it's a test library designed to be run as part of a build process.

[guptadeepak0687]

Thanks John, Here is one need, that my team wants serenity scripts to run without maven. so if you could suggest anything would be helpful for me.

[wakaleo]

That's not really supported at the moment.

may I ask why @guptadeepak0687? "without maven".. where is that requirement coming from? do you need the whole serenity feature set but without maven? or are you fine with less?
