[Jonathan Hsieh (JIRA)]

Regression in excludes feature between surefire 2.6 and 2.7.
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SUREFIRE-766
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-766
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Junit 4.x support
    Affects Versions: 2.9, 2.8.1, 2.8, 2.7.2, 2.7.1, 2.7
            Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh


I have a build that excludes certain JUnit 4 test cases by allowing users to 
specify a -Dtest.exclude.pattern=**/TestA*.java,**/TestB*.java style command 
line argument.  This worked for surefire 2.5, 2.6 but fails to work in 2.7, 
2.7.1, 2.7.2, 2.8, 2.8.1, and 2.9 releases.  

Here's how I pass in the excludes from the command line:

{code}
...
<plugins> <plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <forkMode>always</forkMode>
          <includes>
            <include>**/Test*.java</include>
          </includes>
          <excludes>
            <exclude>**/*$*</exclude>
            <exclude>${test.exclude.pattern}</exclude>
          </excludes>
...
{code}

and 

{code}
...
<properties>
   ...
   <!-- For flaky tests exclusion -->
    <test.exclude />
    <test.exclude.pattern>**/${test.exclude}.java</test.exclude.pattern>
  </properties>
...
{code}
