Re: Surefire plugin - is there a way to activate properties/profiles based on test results?

[Stephen Connolly <st...@gmail.com>]

The short answer is NO

The long answer follows:

Maven builds the project model before it starts processing the lifecycle.
Determining which profiles are active is part of building the project model.
Thus the active profiles are determined before your unit tests run.

What you are trying to do will not work the way you are trying to do it.

You either need to use multiple executions of the surefire plugin
(executions will be processed in the order in which they are defined,
and if one fails, the rest will not be executed) or attach the
surefire plugin to multiple phases (same as multiple executions, but
with more explicit ordering)

When changing from drinking the ANT coolaid to drinking the Maven
coolaid you will encounter a few bad tastes until you get used to the
flavour of the Maven coolaid. ;-)
