Andrew Bayer commented on SUREFIRE-713: --------------------------------------- Sounds reasonable to me. I'll try to extend what I've already got to allow specifying exclude/include patterns as -D properties, at the very least. > 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). Patch attached, though I'm sure > it could still use work. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
