Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-4146:
----------------------------------

I can't comment on how anything works in any IDEs, so I'll take your word for 
it -- but from a command line standpoint it's really confusing, particularly 
since "test-help" actually says this combo should work...

{noformat}
     [echo] # Repeats a given test N times (note filters).
     [echo] ant test -Dtests.iters=N -Dtestcase=ClassName -Dtestmethod=mytest
{noformat}

It seems like we should do the following...

* change the code path that reads the system properties used to pick the tests 
to fail if this combination (tests.iters + a non-globed "test method") is used 
(rather then silently lying and saying (0) tests passed)
* change "-Dtestmethod=XXX" so that instead of being an alias for 
"-Dtests.method=XXX" it becomes an alias for "-Dtests.method=XXX*" (similar to 
how "-D=testcase=XXX" is an alias for "-Dtests.class=*.XXX")

Or at the very least...

* fix test-help to not suggest something guaranteed to not work :)  





                
> -Dtests.iters combined with -Dtestmethod never fails?
