[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-31?page=comments#action_82027 ] Karl M. Davis commented on SUREFIRE-31: ---------------------------------------
<<how do I tell maven to use this rather than the surefire it's bundled with?>> I can't say for certain but I think Maven will try to use the snapshot version in your local repository automatically. It's been a bit since I had to install this myself, so my memory's a bit foggy. If I had my project compiling right now I'd test that for you... but I don't. Give it a try and let us know if it works just having it installed. If not, I'll get my stuff compiling again on Monday and give you instructions on how to get Maven to use the surefire snapshot. Best of luck! > support junit 4.0 > ----------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-31 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-31 > Project: surefire > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Junit 4.x support > Reporter: John Didion > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: SUREFIRE-31-maven-surefire-plugin.patch, > SUREFIRE-31-surefire-trunk.patch, surefire-junit4.zip, > SUREFIRE31_karl_maven-surefire-plugin.patch, > SUREFIRE31_karl_surefire_surefire-providers_surefire-junit.patch, > SUREFIRE31_karl_surefire_surefire-providers_surefire-junit_2ndMethod.patch > > > I know this is a pretty sizable task. I just wanted to get it in the system > now that 4.0 has officially been released. Hopefully this will generate some > discussion about how 4.0 will be handled - mainly if it will require a > completely seperate implemenation of surefire (keeping the same API so it can > easily be used by the maven plugin), or if use of 4.0 will be made a > configurable option of the current surefire. > Here's some additional features I'd like to see: > 1. Ability to categorize tests. Unfortunately, 4.0 doesn't include an > @Category annotation, or make category a parameter of @Test. However, the > filtering mechanism provided by 4.0 is sufficent to support categories given > the presense of such an annotation. I recommend putting the @Category > annotation in a seperate module (surefire-annotations?) and build support for > it into surefire. Hopefully the junit guys could be convinced to incorporate > it in a later version. > 2. Similarly, support repeated tests via an @Repeated annotation. I'm not > sure how easy this would be to do external to junit. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
