We really shouldn't need to run most tests with the `rerunFailingTestsCount` flag set as that just hides issues. I think a better approach would be to set up multiple profiles or executions for the test plugins and by default include all tests and don't set the `rerunFailingTestsCount` flag. Then if we come across flaky tests, we could either try and fix them or if we can't we can `emporarily or permanently add them to another profile where we can set that flag (maybe we need our own -D property for the config). In general, the setting is certainly useful because sometimes tests are just hard to write and are flaky so it can be nice to not fail, but it seems like it should be a temporary solution until the test is fixed and not permanent. Keeping it on it definitely can be a problem as it will also hide true errors that need to be fixed but are intermittent. @ctubbsii - Any thoughts on this and the best way we could set up our Maven test plugins with two different modes/profiles where we only execute a small list of tests with `rerunFailingTestsCount` flag if it's determined we need to? Or do you have another idea? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
