Tom Vaughan updated SUREFIRE-846:
---------------------------------
Attachment: SUREFIRE-846.patch
Attaching a proposed patch that cleans up the empty surefire directory after
each provider is executed. I used the apache commons io's "FileUtils" class to
leverage their deleteDirectory() method which I think is appropriate in this
case. If you run the patch from the root of the svn checkout (e.g. you're in
the same directory as the master pom.xml file) things should patch up nicely.

> Hi,
> This is somewhere between a bug and a feature. I am filing it as per
> krosenv's suggestion.
> The Maven surefire plugin is creating two surefire* directories in the
> ${project.build.directory}:
> - surefire (empty after test executions)
> - surefire-reports (containing the output of the tests)
> I find this rather annoying. As far as I understand, the surefire directory
> is used during the testing and it contains some temporary stuff which is
> removed after the execution of the tests.
> I have tried looking up the option to remove the surefire directory, but I
> can seem to find it. The thing is -- I have other projects that don't have
> this empty directory, just the surefire-reports.
> This empty directory breaks tab autocomplete in the console which sort of
> bugs me, mainly since the directory is empty.
> In addition, this is just the test plugin, not the reporting one. There is no
> section in the project (not any parent).
> This is my surefire plugin setup:
> {code}
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>2.12</version>
> <configuration>
> <excludes>
> <exclude>**/*Abstr*Test*</exclude>
> </excludes>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> {code}
> If this directory is really necessary, I would like to propose the following
> options:
> 1) Make surefire use one directory:
> {code}
> - surefire
> | |- reports
> | |- tmp
> {code}
> This way things will be tidy.
> 2) Have an option for the plugin which allows you to turn on the preserving
> of this directory (I think it should be removed by default).
> Regards,
> Martin
