Paul Gier commented on SUREFIRE-889:
------------------------------------
Thanks for the patch! Can you add a usage example to the site docs? There are
some relevant pages located under src/site/apt/examples/ which describe the
"groups" parameter in the pages junit.apt.vm and testng.apt.vm. The apt format
is documented here: http://maven.apache.org/doxia/references/apt-format.html
> JUnit | supprot inheritance of test's categories/groups
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-889
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-889
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
> Reporter: Honza Brázdil
> Fix For: 2.12.1
>
> Attachments: surefire-hierarchical-categories.patch
>
>
> We have multiple tests in multiple groups and we want to use tests group
> hierarchy using interface inheritance so we can specify if we wants to run
> e.g. all NiceTests or more specific NicePurpleTests.
> Right now are tests @Category compared to surefire's group by class name.
> e.g.:
> If we have category hierarchy:
> {code:java}
> interface NiceTests extends AllTests;
> interface NicePurpleTests extends NiceTests;
> {code}
> and tests:
> {code:java}
> @Category(NiceTests.class) public void ReallyNiceTest();
> @Category(NicePurpleTests.class) public void NicePurpleTestWithDots();
> {code}
> and surefire groups set to:
> {code:xml}<groups>com.example.NiceTests</groups>{code}
> it runs only {{ReallyNiceTest}}, but not {{NicePurpleTestWithDots}} as wanted.
> I've attached patch which fixed it for me.
