That's a-okayto be OT.  :)  I appreciate the feedback.

I've updated the configuration to use systemPropertyVariables but I still reproduce the same problem. When I supply it.case via the command line, the properties fed into each execution via the systempropertyvalues block are nullified.

Why are you using <argLine> which is for things like JVM memory options
(think -Xmx512m) and not
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/integration-test-mojo.html#systemPropertyVariablesfor
setting the system properties in surefire/falsesafe's forked JVMs?

You may have a bug, but I suspect the work-around is to use the correct
tool for the job, i.e. systemPropertyVariables

Now if the JVM options are not being passed through, that is a bug

I'm using version 2.13 of the maven failsafe plugin.

I have aseries of failsafe executions defined in my POM.  Each execution
takes a unique set of propertiesthat feed selenium tests the information to
test a particular browser version.

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.**plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-**plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>integration-test-selenium-**firefox-12.0</id>
<configuration>
<argLine>-Dselenium.port=${**selenium.port}
-Dbrowser=firefox
-Dwebapp.url=http://${local_**ip}:${cargo.port}/**myAwesomeApp/
-Dselenium.host=${selenium.**host}
-Dcargo.home=${cargo.**container.home}
-Dbrowser.version=12.0
-Dcontext=myAwesomeApp
</argLine>
<includes>
<include>**/selenium/*ITCase.**java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
...etc.
</plugin>

What I noticed is that if I specify -Dit.test in my command line to cite
the specific test class that I'd like to test (i.e., mvn
-Dmaven.failsafe.debug -Dit.test=your.TestCase clean verify
-Pproduction,selenium), all of the properties within the execution argLine
are never set.  So the selenium.port is null, the browser is null,
webapp.url is null, etc. etc.

Is this the intended behaviour? This does not happen if I specify
-Dmaven.failsafe.debug. I was hoping that it'd just add it.test to the
existing collection of properties.

Any insight is appreciated,


Tim
