Trying out the full classpath example

[pgmjsd]

I was able to spend some time trying out the 'full classpath' Maven example in the past few days.  I ran into a snag though.   The surefire plugin configuration specifies -Djboss.home=${JBOSS_HOME}, but my start up code thinks the system property is not set.   I tried running my example test inside my IDE, specifying -Djboss.home and it worked fine.

Why isn't surefire paying attention to the <argLine>?

Just so we can be sure, print the relevant output from Maven using "-X"?

[pgmjsd]

Hang on, I think it's trying to run the code in the 'test' phase instead of the 'integration-test' phase.   Maven... feh.

[pgmjsd]

That's it.... Maven is running the 'test' phase first.   That uses the default surefire config which has no <argLine>.

I have two unit tests in two packages:

• eg.test.unit - Regular unit test.   Should run during the 'test' phase.
• eg.test.integration - Embedded tests.   Should run only during the 'integration-test' phase.

I thought this would work:

            <plugin>

                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

                <executions>

                    <execution>

                        <id>test</id>

                        <phase>test</phase>

                        <goals><goal>test</goal></goals>

                        <configuration>

                            <includes>

                    </execution>

                    <execution>

                        <phase>integration-test</phase>

                        <goals>

                            <goal>test</goal>

                        </goals>

                        <configuration>

                            <additionalClasspathElements>

                                <additionalClasspathElement>${JBOSS_HOME}/client/jbossws-native-client.jar

                                </additionalClasspathElement>

                            </additionalClasspathElements>

                            <redirectTestOutputToFile>true</redirectTestOutputToFile>

                            <trimStackTrace>false</trimStackTrace>

                            <printSummary>true</printSummary>

                            <includes>

                                <include>**/test/integration/*Test.java</include>

                            </includes>

                            <forkMode>always</forkMode>

                            <!--

                              data like classes, methods, etc. EMB-41, EMB-74. Endorsed

                            -->

                            <argLine>-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.endorsed.dirs=${JBOSS_HOME}/lib/endorsed -Djboss.home=${JBOSS_HOME}</argLine>

                        </configuration>

                    </execution>

                </executions>

            </plugin>

So all set?

Nope.  The surefire plugin either runs the integration test as a unit test, or it runs no tests whatsoever.   Might be because I'm using TestNG rather than JUnit though.

[alrubinger]

You can have Surefire run in both phases, but you need to configure the 2nd phase as a profile.

For example:

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/ejb-book/trunk/ch08-statusupdate/pom.xml

That one above inherits the regular unit tests "test" phase from ../build/pom.xml, and also defines the integration-test one in the "it" profile.  To get it to run automatically remember to set "activeByDefault".

Okay, tried the profile approach.   I made two TestNG groups: 'unit-test' and 'integration-test' and specified the unit-test group in the main surefire plugin config and integration-test in the 'it' profile config.  When I do 'mvn install' it runs the unit tests like I expect.  Then it unpacks JBoss AS, tries to run the integration tests but doesn't actually do anything.  Grrr.

        <profile>

            <id>it</id>
