Set system properties in pom.xml?
I think I already know the answer to this: No. But, I feel like I
should ask, just in case I've missed some vital piece of information.
(Google is great, but sometimes it's hard to work your way through the
chaff.)
I'd like to control some unit test features using a profile. My current
path was to simply set a property in my profile, thinking that I could
then read that value in my test code using System.getProperty(key).
That doesn't seem to be supported.
Is there some other, recommended, way of doing this kind of thing?
Thanks,
Dave

Wendy, that was a great suggestion. I should have done so sooner.
Having tossed out my changes in favor of doing something more
productive, I went back to recreate my setup. I must have
mis-configured the plugin. Now, it's working beautifully. Sorry about
all the fuss.

It might be quicker to paste your plugin configuration and see if
someone can spot an error, since passing properties into tests does
work for many of us.
Also, what version of Surefire are you using?

The surefire documentation is plenty clear, but the feature apparently
doesn't work. At least, I have been unsuccessful with it, thus far.
I'm just trying to pass in a simple string for my tests to pick up. The
string is set by activating a profile.
I guess I'll dig into the surefire source tree and see if I can find an
example that shows me something different.

any how, what kind of problem you are facing? Is surefire document not
clear enough?

Actually, it is in the surefire source tree with its own module.

Where would I find those test cases? I see nothing about integration
tests on the SureFire page.

You may want to take a look at surefire's integration test cases, I
has a bunch of examples on how push system properties into surefire.

Incidentally, I did try using the <systemProperties> configuration
element of the SureFire plugin. It did not appear to do anything.
