[jira] [Commented] (SUREFIRE-1838) Ability to run an inner class or a method within

["Andreas Pabst (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1838?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17652504#comment-17652504 ] 

Andreas Pabst commented on SUREFIRE-1838:
-----------------------------------------

I think this is the same issue as SUREFIRE-2115.

On a Unix-like command line at least you have to escape the dollar symbol using a backslash, then it works as expected.  

```
mvn surefire:test -Dtest=XFPNumberTest\$AxField\$AddGroup
```

Not a Surefire bug.
