Eric Pederson created SUREFIRE-1068: ---------------------------------------
Summary: 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 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*) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
