Julien Herr commented on SUREFIRE-1194:
---------------------------------------
Well, it won't be so easy:
* "-reporterlist" is available since 5.6 only
* "-reporterlist" is removed since 5.14.3, and replaced by "-reporter"
* "-reporter" is used since 5.6 too, but not in the method used by surefire.
From `TestNGCommandLineArgs`:
```java
else if (REPORTER.equalsIgnoreCase(argv[i])) {
if ((i + 1) < argv.length) {
ReporterConfig reporterConfig = ReporterConfig.deserialize(trim(argv[i +
1]));
if (arguments.get(REPORTERS_LIST) == null) {
arguments.put(REPORTERS_LIST, new ArrayList<ReporterConfig>());
}
((List<ReporterConfig>)arguments.get(REPORTERS_LIST)).add(reporterConfig);
i++;
}
}
```
* `configure()` method used by the `MapConfigurator` is available since 5.5
(currently surefire starts it at 5.10)
* remember SUREFIRE-1177, `configure()` should be replaced between 5.14 and
5.14.2
What should I do?
* Quick fix for the current issue (what? how?), or
* Postpone the fix and fix it later with the configure migration?
> reporter argument does not work for TestNG

> Key: SUREFIRE-1194
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1194
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: TestNG support
> Affects Versions: 2.19
> Reporter: Testo Nakada
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
> Fix For: 2.19.1
>
>
> TestNG plugin seems to map -reporter command line parameter to reporterslist
> which was removed in TestNG project since 2010
> (a4779524b59330e98ee596c5faa43ae1b33ff844). Therefore, this configuration has
> stopped working since then. The configuration mentioned in
> http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/testng.html#Using_Custom_Listeners_and_Reporters
> does not work as expected.
