ASF GitHub Bot commented on SUREFIRE-1385: ------------------------------------------ kwin opened a new pull request, #762: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/762 user properties Log overwritten properties Clarify effective properties merging order Following this checklist to help us incorporate your contribution quickly and easily: - [ ] Make sure there is a [JIRA issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE) filed for the change (usually before you start working on it). Trivial changes like typos do not require a JIRA issue. Your pull request should address just this issue, without pulling in other changes. - [ ] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line and body. - [ ] Format the pull request title like `[SUREFIRE-XXX] - Fixes bug in ApproximateQuantiles`, where you replace `SUREFIRE-XXX` with the appropriate JIRA issue. Best practice is to use the JIRA issue title in the pull request title and in the first line of the commit message. - [ ] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to understand what the pull request does, how, and why. - [ ] Run `mvn clean install` to make sure basic checks pass. A more thorough check will be performed on your pull request automatically. - [ ] You have run the integration tests successfully (`mvn -Prun-its clean install`). If your pull request is about ~20 lines of code you don't need to sign an [Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf) if you are unsure please ask on the developers list.

I would > have expected the closer definition in the POM to override the one passed > with the CLI. Furthermore, in the case of the above sample, it would not be > possible for the tests run by the Failsafe Plugin to have a system property > {{prop}} with a value of {{foo}} if the build happens to already define a > system property with the same name. While using a different name to avoid a > clash is possible, it still doesn't make the test self-contained and > consistent since anyone could run Maven with that other name and compromise > the test that really relies on the system property having a value of {{foo}}. > The proposal is thus to make the {{systemPropertyVariables}} and > {{systemPropertiesFile}} configuration elements of the Surefire and Failsafe > Plugin take precedence over user properties passed on the command line. > Proposed commit > [4de017b38b101b0b28f9fbed135eae3921b99d0d|http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven-surefire/commit/4de017b3] > on SUREFIRE-1385 branch. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
