Benjamin Bentmann commented on SUREFIRE-631:
--------------------------------------------
See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#useFile, i.e. -Dsurefire.useFile=false
> turn on useFile=false from the command line?
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: SUREFIRE-631
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-631
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: james strachan
>
> When running tests from the command line (e.g. "mvn test -Dtest=FooTest" actually showing on the console the summary and stack trace of failures is very useful.
> However many projects have surefire configured in a root pom.xml and often has the default of useFile=true.
> It would be nice to be able to do something like...
> mvn test -Dtest=foo -DuseFile=false
> to be able to get a nice output of what the failed exception is and the stack trace etc.
> It might be nice to enable useFile=false when -Dtest= is specified too.
> How about we add a new field which maps to -DuseFile and if its specified then override the configuration from the pom.xml?
