Tibor Digana closed SUREFIRE-1176. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Not A Problem Assignee: Tibor Digana > Maven surefire plugin sets systemPropertyVariables too late > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1176 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1176 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Maven Surefire Plugin > Affects Versions: 2.18.1 > Reporter: Mateusz Nowakowski > Assignee: Tibor Digana > > I have a couple of test which need to be run under specific locale. > It is achieved by this surefire plugin configuration: > Under Java 7 this plugin configuration works: > {code} > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.18.1</version> > <configuration> > <systemPropertyVariables> > <user.timezone>America/Chicago</user.timezone> > </systemPropertyVariables> > </configuration> > </plugin> > {code} > but under Java 8 the test sensitive test still uses default system locale and > they fail. > Surefire plugin sets system properties too late, because in Java 8, several > locale-dependent variables are set much earlier than in Java 7, e.g. > TimeZone.getDefault() and > properties specified in systemPropertyVariables section don't have influence > on tests. > Workaround for it is setting system properties in argLine section, e.g. > <argLine>-Duser.timezone=America/Chicago</argLine>. > Workaround: > {code} > <plugin> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.18.1</version> > <configuration> > <argLine>-Duser.timezone=America/Chicago</argLine> > </configuration> > </plugin> > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
