Kristian Rosenvold commented on SUREFIRE-713: --------------------------------------------- By a quick look at the diff the patch looks good. I tend to view this issue in context with a group of other issues like SUREFIRE-131, SUREFIRE-530, SUREFIRE-526, SUREFIRE-632, SUREFIRE-561, SUREFIRE-528, SUREFIRE-701, SUREFIRE-582. I'm not saying we need to solve all of these issues, not even that the relationship is close; but they seem, to be touching on the same feature set. I think we need to discuss what features we need/want to implement for this cluster of issues as a group rather than adding features piece by piece without an overall plan. > Allow setting of excludes and includes via text files > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-713 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-713 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Maven Failsafe Plugin, Maven Surefire Plugin > Affects Versions: Backlog > Reporter: Andrew Bayer > Attachments: excludeIncludeFile.patch > > > It'd be handy in some circumstances to be able to read the excludes (and > includes) from text files. This would allow for dynamically determining which > tests to skip or include (for whatever reason) before the tests are executed, > or for pulling in a list of tests to exclude/include from an external source, > etc. We're planning to use this at Cloudera for segregating "flaky" tests > from our primary test runs (and vice versa).
