Pass Command-Line Param to Surefire Plugin
Hello,
I searched the archive, but was not able to find an answer to my question.
I am running maven as follows:
mvn clean test -Dsomeparameter=somevalue
someparameter will vary per mvn call.
It does not appear that my surefire tests are able to find this variable
when they execute, so I'm assuming Maven does not pass all command-line
variables to plugins by default.
My question is, how do I pass surefire a command-line argument? My first
thought was to do so in the configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
<configuration>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>someparameter</name>
<value>${someparameter}</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
</plugin>
However, looking at this page, it seems that this will not work:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html
Any solution you have is appreciated.
Thanks,
Leo

Thanks for your reply.
Well, it looks like you are hard-coding the -D line into the plugin config.
In my situation, would this work?
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
<configuration>
<argline>-Dsomeparameter=${someparameter}</argline>
</configuration>
</plugin>
If so, then yes, that solves my problem!

<configuration>
<forkMode>once</forkMode>
<workingDirectory>target</workingDirectory>
<argLine>-Djava.library.path=lib</argLine>
