Neil Crow created MNG-7415:
------------------------------
Summary: Cannot define system property with a dot in the name :
[ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase
Key: MNG-7415
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7415
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Command Line
Affects Versions: 3.8.4
Reporter: Neil Crow
In order to skip or debug integration tests or run a single test we need to
define system properties on the command line.
Whenever I try to define a system property with a dot in the name I get the
following error:
{noformat}
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
[ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase ".test.skip=true". You must specify a valid
lifecycle phase or a goal in the format
{noformat}
This command works OK
{noformat}
mvn install -DskipITs{noformat}
There are several examples in the documentation which call for dotted system
properties to be passed, all of which seem to be affected by this issue:
* mvn -Dit.test=ITCircle verify
* mvn -Dmaven.failsafe.debug verify
* mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
I have noticed that if I put a space after the -D then it appears to work.
* mvn -D maven.failsafe.debug verify
* mvn install -D maven.test.skip=true
