Passing command line arguments to surefire plugin
Hi
My surefire configuration contains the following snippet...
<configuration>
<systemPropertyVariables>
<org.apache.cocoon.mode>dev</org.apache.cocoon.mode>
This works fine to set the system property -Dorg.apache.cocoon.mode=dev,
but what I really want is for the build deployer to set or override that property using a command line argument via Hudson
so he can deploy to different environments with a different argument.
If I run Maven from command line and pass in that argument or any other it doesn't reach Surefire, so the question is how to get
properties passed along to Surefire?
Thanks,
Taariq Levack

ability to propagate command line system properties to surefire
regardless of forkmode is fixed at
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-121
give the latest 2.6-SNAPSHOT a try

That works.
I guessed it had to do with forking so I removed the forkMode but the behaviour persisted, because as you say the default is to fork once.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
By default, surefire works in fork mode 'once' (new JVM) and all arguments passed from command line via Hudson will be available in base maven process, but not in surefire process.
Try to use <forkMode>never</frokMode>.
hth,
Aleksey.

Hi,
By default, surefire works in fork mode 'once' (new JVM) and all
arguments passed from command line via Hudson will be available in base
maven process,
but not in surefire process.
Try to use <forkMode>never</frokMode>.
hth,
Aleksey.
