Sander Verhagen created SUREFIRE-1309:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Clarify %regex
Key: SUREFIRE-1309
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1309
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Documentation
Affects Versions: 2.19.1
Environment: Probably any environment
Reporter: Sander Verhagen
It would be good to clarify the {{%regex ...}} feature:
1. While it is said to be regular expression, it really is a {{regular
expression + ".class"}} kind of thing. This does not work (while it is proper
regex):
{noformat}.+\.class{noformat} The following works (while it is not proper
regex): {noformat}.+.class{noformat}
2. Clarify that one is supposed to match slashes between packages and class
name, not periods. The following [current
documentation|http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/inclusion-exclusion.html]
doesn't clarify that by just using "{{.*}}":
{noformat}!%regex[pkg.*Slow.*.class]{noformat}
3. Clarify what the expectations are in terms of escaping characters
I just spend literally ten hours figuring out a complex regex, going into
TeamCity (which by itself complicated the troubleshooting for me), and the
documentation could have saved my butt, here.
