Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1309: ---------------------------------------- I have added TODO in order to break backwards compatibility in Version 3.0.0 and thus use fully qualified classes and regex. https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=maven-surefire.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd11d15edea9ea3c3785dc48d408b3f87193734e > Clarify %regex > -------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1309 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1309 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Documentation > Affects Versions: 2.19.1 > Environment: Probably any environment > Reporter: Sander Verhagen > Assignee: Tibor Digana > > It would be good to clarify the {{%regex ...}} feature: > 1. While it is said to be regular expression, it really is a {{regular > expression + ".class"}} kind of thing. This does not work (while it is proper > regex): > {noformat}.+\.class{noformat} The following works (while it is not proper > regex): {noformat}.+.class{noformat} > 2. Clarify that one is supposed to match slashes between packages and class > name, not periods. The following [current > documentation|http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/inclusion-exclusion.html] > doesn't clarify that by just using "{{.*}}": > {noformat}!%regex[pkg.*Slow.*.class]{noformat} > 3. Clarify what the expectations are in terms of escaping characters > I just spend literally ten hours figuring out a complex regex, going into > TeamCity (which by itself complicated the troubleshooting for me), and the > documentation could have saved my butt, here. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
