Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1724:
----------------------------------------
[~mpkorstanje]
As you have described it, this is doable even with the current code. The class
{{ProviderParameters}} must have a getter of special complex object with all
these alternatives of selector values, easier (enum -> Collection<String>).
Later we will remove it because it is anyway silly to call a provider with all
the reflection only because of {{Provider.suite}}. So that the Provider
interface should split in two.
> Support JUnit Platform DiscoverySelectors
> ------------------------------------------

> Key: SUREFIRE-1724
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1724
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: M.P. Korstanje
> Priority: Major
>
> The JUnit Platform defines multiple
> [DiscoverySelectors|https://junit.org/junit5/docs/5.0.2/api/org/junit/platform/engine/DiscoverySelector.html]
> to discover tests in different locations. This allows TestEngines to
> discover tests in classes, the class path root, resource root, files, ect.
> Currently Surefire supports TestEngine implementations through the
> JUnitPlatformProvider. However the JUnitPlatformProvider only issues
> discovery requests for classes that have already been discovered by Surefire.
> Additionally if no tests were discovered by Surefire then no test discovery
> requests will be issued at all.
> This means that Surefire does not fully utilize the discovery capabilities of
> the JUnit Platform and makes it impossible to use the JUnitPlatformProvider
> for test frameworks that do not have class based tests such as Cucumber.
> To make Cucumber work at the very least the class path root discovery
> selector would have to be supported.
