[jira] [Commented] (SUREFIRE-1431) @{argLine} not replaced if undefined

["Eric B (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1431?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17154145#comment-17154145 ] 

Eric B commented on SUREFIRE-1431:
----------------------------------

[~vmassol] I have encountered a very similar problem to you.  Although mine comes from the fact that my `argLine` is defined in my `PluginManagement` configuration and so the plugin itself doesn't take it into account if I override it.  And using the `@\{argLine}` argument throws an error if no argLine is predefined.

> I need to specify argLine for my tests. I also need it to work with Java agent Jacoco when a certain Maven profile is activated.
> So I added `@{argLine}` to my argLine property and it works fine when running with Jacoco agent activated.
> When running the tests without profile that activates Jacoco agent, the surefire plugin fails with following line (relevant maven logs attached) :
> {color:red}Error: Could not find or load main class @\{argLine} {color}
> I guess @{argLine} is only replaced if an argLine has been defined before by another plugin but if not it is not replaced at all.
> Should'nt it be replaced in any case and if none defined, just replace with empty value?
