tests with @Ignore are treated as "unsuccessful"
------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-560
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-560
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: report plugin
Affects Versions: 2.4.3
Reporter: Jörg Hohwiller
According to SUREFIRE-303 you care about @Ignore tests which is generally a
good idea.
However you treat them as "unsuccessful" and then dashboard-maven-plugin marks
this in red.
I am using @Ignore for JUnit test-methods that can NOT run headless or in a
os-independent batch, or whatever.
Generally I think that this is what @Ignore is all about. If I have tests that
do not work but definitely should, I would
NOT add an @Ignore and get an according failure until the bug is fixed.
So either provide a way to mark test-methods as skipped by maven but not
treated unsuccessful, e.g.
via some prefix like "OK:" in @Ignore("OK: manual test") or by generally
treating @Ignore
as harmless. I personally suggest the latter.
