------------------------------------------
Sounds good. Lets see what dragons I encounter.
> Support JUnit Platform DiscoverySelectors
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-1724
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1724
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: M.P. Korstanje
> Priority: Major
>
> The JUnit Platform defines multiple
> [DiscoverySelectors|https://junit.org/junit5/docs/5.0.2/api/org/junit/platform/engine/DiscoverySelector.html]
> to discover tests in different locations. This allows TestEngines to
> discover tests in classes, the class path root, resource root, files, ect.
> Currently Surefire supports TestEngine implementations through the
> JUnitPlatformProvider. However the JUnitPlatformProvider only issues
> discovery requests for classes that have already been discovered by Surefire.
> Additionally if no tests were discovered by Surefire then no test discovery
> requests will be issued at all.
> This means that Surefire does not fully utilize the discovery capabilities of
> the JUnit Platform and makes it impossible to use the JUnitPlatformProvider
> for test frameworks that do not have class based tests such as Cucumber.
> To make Cucumber work at the very least the class path root discovery
> selector would have to be supported.
