Tim Pizey commented on SUREFIRE-569: ------------------------------------ @Max Andersen completely agree, I am amazed, in the light of http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html at the existence of this bug. I jarred my tests in 2008, assuming that this was the expected use case, then blocked until now. I do not want to have to manually maintain the test suite, but that seems to be the only currently available mechanism. > There should be a way to run unit tests from a dependency jar. > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-569 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-569 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Maven Surefire Plugin > Reporter: Paul Gier > > In some cases it would be useful to have a set of tests that run with various > dependency configurations. One way to accomplish this would be to have a > single project that contains the unit tests and generates a test jar. > Several test configuration projects could then consume the unit tests and run > them with different dependency sets. The problem is that there is no easy > way to run tests in a dependency jar. The surefire plugin should have a > configuration to allow me to run all or a set of unit tests contained in a > dependency jar. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
