[jira] [Created] (SUREFIRE-1348) Documentation of parameter
"argLine" for goal "surefire:test" lacks mention of a key change made in
v2.17
Gordon Daugherty created SUREFIRE-1348:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Documentation of parameter "argLine" for goal "surefire:test" lacks mention of a key change made in v2.17
Key: SUREFIRE-1348
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1348
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Documentation
Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
Affects Versions: 2.16, 2.15, 2.14.1, 2.14, 2.13, 2.12.4, 2.12.3, 2.12.2, 2.12.1, 2.12
Reporter: Gordon Daugherty
Priority: Minor
The documentation for the argLine parameter [here|http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html] indicates "since v2.1" and the description refers to the @{argLine} syntax but doesn't mention that you have to be using surefire-maven-plugin v2.17 or greater for that functionality to work. See "SUREFIRE-1047 - Add @{...} property evaluation for the argLine".
Probably the [goal arguments page|http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html] plus the FAQ page that it links to should be updated with a mention of the minimum required maven-surefire-plugin version.
I noticed this while experiencing issue "SUREFIRE-1273". Resolution of that issue should have been simple but I was on surefire-maven-plugin v2.12 and the documentation made it appear that @{argLine} was supported since v2.1. I needed to upgrade but there wasn't any obvious indication of that.
