Eric Pederson updated SUREFIRE-1068: ------------------------------------ Description: The {surefire.forkNumber} placeholder cannot be used alone in a {{systemPropertyVariable}}. The workaround is to prefix the value. For example, this doesn't work (the {{surefire.forkNumber}} system property does not exist when running the test). {code:xml} <systemPropertyVariables> <surefire.forkNumber>${surefire.forkNumber}</surefire.forkNumber> </systemPropertyVariables> {code} But this does: {code:xml} <systemPropertyVariables> <surefire.forkNumber>0${surefire.forkNumber}</surefire.forkNumber> </systemPropertyVariables> {code} (note the leading *0*) was: If {{${surefire.forkNumber} }} is used alone in a {{systemPropertyVariable}} it resolves as null. Workaround is to prefix the value. For example, this doesn't work (the {{surefire.forkNumber}} system property does not exist). {code:xml} <systemPropertyVariables> <surefire.forkNumber>${surefire.forkNumber}</surefire.forkNumber> </systemPropertyVariables> {code} But this does: {code:xml} <systemPropertyVariables> <surefire.forkNumber>0${surefire.forkNumber}</surefire.forkNumber> </systemPropertyVariables> {code} (note the leading *0*) > forkNumber in systemPropertyVariables requires prefix > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1068 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-1068 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Maven Surefire Plugin > Affects Versions: 2.16 > Reporter: Eric Pederson > Priority: Minor > > The {surefire.forkNumber} placeholder cannot be used alone in a > {{systemPropertyVariable}}.
