The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Surefire Plugin, version 2.8
This release includes the maven-surefire-plugin, which executes the unit tests of an application, the maven-surefire-report-plugin, which parses surefire/failsafe test results and renders them to DOXIA creating the web interface version of the test results, as well as the maven-failsafe-plugin, which executes the integration tests of an application. Highlights of this release: The ability to run a single test method is the new feature in this release: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-577 A significant memory leak fix for those with really long reactor builds: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-711 **** Note to JUnit4 users upgrading: Due to SUREFIRE-482 users upgrading to surefire 2.8 from <2.7 may see some (incorrectly defined) tests not being run any more. This should be verified by running mvn -Dsurefire.junit4.upgradecheck=true install at least once (this can be run multiple times until you have fixed all issues) http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/ You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.8/version> </plugin> Release Notes - Maven Surefire - Version 2.8 ** Bug * [SUREFIRE-634] - setting "java.library.path" via systemPropertyVariables or systemProperties is not working * [SUREFIRE-689] - Non-working links on the m-failsafe-p site * [SUREFIRE-692] - Wrong link to API * [SUREFIRE-694] - NPE when empty additionalClasspathElement * [SUREFIRE-698] - 4.7 provider ignores junit-dep * [SUREFIRE-699] - Remove TestNG from system classpath of forked process * [SUREFIRE-705] - Setting both "forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds" and "parallel" fails with an exception * [SUREFIRE-707] - NullPointerException in ConcurrentReporterManager on testSkipped (@Ignore on test class) * [SUREFIRE-711] - OutOfMemoryError while building multi module projects ** Improvement * [SUREFIRE-695] - Avoid duplicate code in SurefirePlugin and IntegrationTestMojo * [SUREFIRE-696] - Improve the design of the class Classpath * [SUREFIRE-697] - When the exception message is long or contains linefeeds, the summary display is not nice * [SUREFIRE-700] - Surefire is not isolated from itself * [SUREFIRE-702] - Introduce a ClasspathPropertiesMapper class ** New Feature * [SUREFIRE-577] - running only some method of a unit class (with -Dtest=MyClass#myMethod) ** Task * [SUREFIRE-566] - Bump to Doxia 1.1.1 Enjoy, -The Maven team --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
