John Casey commented on SUREFIRE-809:
-------------------------------------
Applied in revIds: 1235412-1235416
All existing tests are passing; now I need to add a few new tests to verify the
extra expression combination features.
> Implement boolean expression to define test group to be run.
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-809
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-809
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Junit 4.x support
> Affects Versions: 2.11
> Reporter: Ondrej Zizka
> Attachments: BooleanExpression.g, category-expression.jj
>
>
> This is an alternative to SUREFIRE-808.
> Instead of having hard-coded filtering structure combining two lists.
> an expression could be parsed and evaluated for each test.
> Each test would be "tagged" using
> {code}
> @Categories({ MyCateg1.class, MyCateg2.class, ... })
> {code}
> Surefire's `group` config param would be an expression like:
> {code}
> <groups>( Ejb AND (CommonCriteria OR Security) ) AND NOT( Clustering )<groups>
> {code}
> Presence of a category of given name would be evaluated as true, absence of
> it as false.
> Interface inheritance would be taken into account.
> This mechanism would provide unlimited possibilities of grouping tests, and
> would be very beneficial for huge testuites counting thousands of tests.
