Chris Pennello created SUREFIRE-1241:
----------------------------------------
Summary: include everything and exclude nothing
Key: SUREFIRE-1241
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1241
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Chris Pennello
I would like to suggest we alter the default values for {{<includes>}} and
{{<excludes>}}.
The current defaults for the includes are
{noformat}
<include>**/Test*.java</include>
<include>**/*Test.java</include>
<include>**/*TestCase.java</include>
{noformat}
and the current default for the excludes is
{noformat}
<exclude>**/*$*</exclude>
{noformat}
This causes Surefire to behave differently when finding tests from several
other independent implementations--Eclipse and IntelliJ. Both of these IDEs
find all {{@Test}}-annotated methods. Thus, when testing with the IDEs, you
run many more of your tests than Maven does using Surefire (presuming that you
choose names or class nesting that are subject to the default rules).
I think it would be very valuable for Surefire to behave consistently with
respect to these two pretty popular IDEs.
I am curious about the origin of the defaults for these rules. Maybe there are
some great reasons to limit the inclusions and have non-empty exclusions by
default? But if so, then why don't the IDEs do the same? What are the risks?
Absent any such reasoning, it seems to me like it would be most helpful to the
user base to make the tests we discover as inclusive as possible.
