Default for failIfNoTests should be false
-----------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-464
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-464
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: plugin
Affects Versions: 2.4.2, 2.4.1, 2.4
Reporter: Dain Sundstrom
In maven the surefire plugin executes by default when ever I build, and since
the default for failIfNoTests is now true all of my modules must have at least
one test or I must manually configure the plugin to not fail. This is a minor
annoyance for single module builds but is a major pain when you have lots of
modules. In my case it is extremely annoying since we have example modules we
distribute that don't extend or parent pom (so users don't have to pull down
our whole code base to get an example project).
This also means that the syntactic sugar "-Dtest=false" to turn off all testing
no longer works.
At the end of the day, I don't understand why not having tests is a build
failure and not just a warning.
