------------------------------------------
[~tibordigana] Hi. I'm curious to understand why you say:
bq. No, you have to use dollar symbol: ${argLine} but the property is not the
best choice.
The doc says that {{@}} can be use for late resolution:
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/faq.html#late-property-evaluation
I use the following in the surefire and failsafe configs:
{code}
<argLine>@{argLine} -Xmx1024m</argLine>
{code}
And I've also found that the property is unresolved in some cases leading to
surefire/failsafe wrongly executing with:
{noformat}
/bin/sh -c cd ... && /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
'@{argLine}' -Xmx1024m -jar ...
{noformat}
Note that I've tried the following but it doesn't work (the surefire plugin
doesn't use it):
{code}
<test.argLine>-Xmx1024m</test.argLine>
{code}
What works is to use:
{code}
<argLine>-Xmx1024m</argLine>
{code}
However that's not great since it means that properties will be used by all
plugins accepting an argLine property when I'd only like it to be used by the
surefire/failsafe plugins.
Thanks a lot.

> Key: SUREFIRE-1431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1431
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
> Affects Versions: 2.21.1
> Environment: Maven 3.5.0
> Reporter: Matthieu Fillon
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: maven.log
>
>
> I need to specify argLine for my tests. I also need it to work with Java
> agent Jacoco when a certain Maven profile is activated.
> So I added `@{argLine}` to my argLine property and it works fine when running
> with Jacoco agent activated.
> When running the tests without profile that activates Jacoco agent, the
> surefire plugin fails with following line (relevant maven logs attached) :
> {color:red}Error: Could not find or load main class @\{argLine} {color}
> I guess @{argLine} is only replaced if an argLine has been defined before by
> another plugin but if not it is not replaced at all.
> Should'nt it be replaced in any case and if none defined, just replace with
> empty value?
