Hi,
I was trying to configure a TestNG group exclusion based on profile and finding
the tests weren't being excluded. After checking everything I could think of
and getting nowhere, I checked out the Surefire code and attached a debugger.
I found this must have been broken since TestNG 5.13.0.3 (I'm using TestNG
latest, 6.3.1). AbstractSurefireMojo.convertGroupParameters() uses
"excludedgroups" for the property key:
if ( this.getExcludedGroups() != null )
{
getProperties().setProperty( "excludedgroups",
this.getExcludedGroups() );
}
However, since 5.13.0.3, org.testng.CommandLineArgs has changed to
"excludegroups" (the hyphen is added later during options conversion):
public static final String EXCLUDED_GROUPS = "-excludegroups";
@Parameter(names = EXCLUDED_GROUPS, description ="Comma-separated list of
group names to "
+ " exclude")
public String excludedGroups;

Has this been reported before? I can't find any issues or discussion of this
anywhere, but I can't believe it's been broken for 18 months without anyone
noticing - what am I missing?
In any case, I'd consider this a TestNG bug anyway, I'll email
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> requesting that
both forms are recognised to ensure backwards compatibility once I get
confirmation I'm not going bonkers.
Cheers,
Danny
