title: Thucydides: Install from scratch archetype - All tests are skipped
body: <p>I have looked all over the place for answers to this. It would appear thucydides documentation is very limited and/or they were not expecting people to have problems this early. I am mainly following <a href="http://thucydides.info/docs/thucydides-one-page/thucydides.html" rel="nofollow">http://thucydides.info/docs/thucydides-one-page/thucydides.html</a> which has this process.</p>
  
  <p>I create a new project via </p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn archetype:generate
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and select <code>net.thucydides:thucydides-simple-archetype</code></p>
  
  <p>After installing it, I go to my <code>settings.xml</code> located at <code>/home/user/.m2/settings.xml</code> and put in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;pluginGroups&gt;
    &lt;pluginGroup&gt;net.thucydides.maven.plugins&lt;/pluginGroup&gt;
  &lt;/pluginGroups&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And run </p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn test thucydides:aggregate
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I get:</p>

  <p>Nothing is happening? The tests are set up and they are not @Pending or anything, they are just completely ignored. This is the SearchByKeywordStoryTest.java that comes by default:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Story(Application.Search.SearchByKeyword.class)
  @RunWith(ThucydidesRunner.class)
  public class SearchByKeywordStoryTest {
  
      @Managed(uniqueSession = true)

      @ManagedPages(defaultUrl = "http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page")
      public Pages pages;

      public EndUserSteps endUser;
  
      @Issue("#WIKI-1")
      @Test
      public void searching_by_keyword_apple_should_display_the_corresponding_article() {
          endUser.is_the_home_page();
          endUser.looks_for("apple");
          endUser.should_see_definition("A common, round fruit produced by the tree Malus domestica, cultivated in temperate climates.");
  
      }
  
      @Test
      public void searching_by_keyword_banana_should_display_the_corresponding_article() {
          endUser.is_the_home_page();
          endUser.looks_for("pear");
          endUser.should_see_definition("An edible fruit produced by the pear tree, similar to an apple but elongated towards the stem.");
      }

  <p>I appreciate any help. I haven't a clue what I'm missing - I'm new to maven, selenium and thucydides so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Once I get the JUnit tests actually running I'll be good to go... Thanks.</p>
