-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow the Maven Surefire Plugin to be used to test
non-java projects
Key: SUREFIRE-1526
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1526
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
Affects Versions: 2.22.0
Reporter: Devin Owens
My Company uses a custom language that we've written a unit test framework for
in Java. We would like to be able to run those tests as part of our maven build
process and the Maven Surefire Plugin with out unit test framework as a test
provider seems to be the best option, but the Maven Surefire Plugin looks for a
java test file in src/test/java or a testng xml file before invoking the
provider in AbstractSurefireMojo.execute(). Since the tests that our provider
runs are not java tests this means that our tests can't be run. If there is not
already a supported way of doing this I would recommend making checking for the
existence of tests the responsibility of the test provider.
