Running some tests but not others according to a -D property?

["Allen, Daniel" <Da...@kbcfp.com>]

Does anyone know if it's possible to have Surefire run some tests but
not others, deciding based on a setting from the command line? My
situation is that some tests are working with Tibco Rendezvous, and the
daemon isn't always available. It would be nice to include
"-Dskip.rv.tests=true" on the command line and run all the tests except
those that would fail because RV is offline.

Thanks for any advice.

We had a similar problem that we solved using a profile. We have a 
default test name pattern ("_FT") that designates a test as a 
functional/integration test. We include a plugin entry for 
maven-surefire-plugin that runs on the integration-test phase and 
includes files with that pattern. If we want to ignore those tests, we 
use the profile to set the pattern to something ridiculous that would 
never match. All the integration tests of that pattern are then skipped.

Here are some snippets:

<properties>
<ft_patterns>_*FT</ft_patterns>
</properties>

<profile>
<id>no_fts</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault/>
</activation>
<properties>
<ft_patterns>_XXFTXX</ft_patterns>
</properties>
</profile>

<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>itest</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
<includes>
<include>**/*${ft_patterns}.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
