Hi,
I am currently trying to write a custom plugin that does two things
1. Attach a java agent to the JVM when the tests are running, causing
some instrumentation to be logged
2. Analyze the logged instrumentation and report back to the user
I have the second part working, but I'm completely stumped by the first
part. My understanding is that applying JVM arguments during tests is
the responsibility of surefire, using the argLine configuration
parameters - so I am trying to write a mojo that will add those
parameters on the fly if they are not already there.
As it stands, I have written a mojo (InjectAgentMojo) that does the
following:
* Get the project from a parameter
* Look up the surefire plugin using
project.getPlugin(org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin)
* Create a configuration with the required elements, and attach it
using setConfiguration
However, this does not seem to have any effect, and the configuration is
not being used. I am calling the mojo in the INITIALIZE phase of my test
project, but it seems that the configuration has already been set
elsewhere by then.
Does anyone have any ideas that would make this possible? Specifically:
* Is there a way for maven plugins to set the configuration of other
plugins at runtime?
* Is there another way this could be done - writing a plugin for
surefire or something?
After a couple of days of experimenting/googling, I appear to have hit a
brick wall.
Thanks in advance for any help.
