I am trying to use a property in the systemProperties section of the
surefire plugin which was dynamically created earlier in the build
lifecycle by another plugin (happens to be the
properties-maven-plugin). I know the property is actually being set
because I successfully use it elsewhere after the
properties-maven-plugin has run. I am aware that the surefire plugin
only wants string property values, but I believe the baseUrl property
value I am building up should meet that criteria after interpolation
which occurs when maven wires up the surefire plugin. The standard
basedir property makes it to my junit test without any problems.
Is there a helper plugin out there I can use to perform the
interpolation before I pass it to the surefire plugin? I could build
one if I must, but that sounds like a lot of hoop jumping just to solve
this problem. I tried using the ant-run plugin to set the property, but
that didn't work either.
Am I getting burned by the fact the surefire plugin is first run with
skip=true in the test phase, which is prior to the dynamic property
being set by the properties-maven-plugin?
