Surefire unable to find "bar" test method when passed -Dtest=Foo#bar
I have a test class; let's call it TestCaseFoo.
When I run surefire:test with no value for the "test" property, this class
is found and all of its test methods execute.
I would like to run just one of those methods.
So I tried invoking Maven like this:
mvn clean test -Dtest=TestCaseFoo#testBar
...where my test case has a method like this:
@Test
public void testBar() {
// here is where the magic happens
}
I get this error:
initializationError(org.junit.runner.manipulation.Filter) Time elapsed:
0.004 sec <<< ERROR!
java.lang.Exception: No tests found matching Method
testBar(com.fizbaw.TestCaseFoo) from

Note in particular the odd method signature, or at least the output that
says testBar(com.fizbaw.TestCaseFoo). JUnit methods must have zero
parameters. I'm not sure what's going on here.
I am using JUnit 4.10 and Surefire 2.12.

I also tried -Dtest='TestCaseFoo#testB*' which failed with the same error,
so that told me that it was indeed able to find the name of the test
method, as the error message indicates "testBar".

The part I don't understand is why it appears that the method description
indicates that the method takes a parameter. I wonder if this is a problem
in JUnit 4.10 and not anything to do with Surefire? Before I go code
spelunking, is there an obvious place to look for where Surefire's JUnit
provider calls whatever mechanism inside JUnit that is responsible for
running the given test method?

for reasons I have never quite understood, quoting has only ever worked for
me when the quote is at the very start of the -D, i.e. "-D or '-D

Thanks again for your prompt response. I don't see how the quoting of the
-Dtest= part would help, but I did it just the same, and I get the same
error:
mvn -o clean install '-Dtest=TestCaseFoo#testBar'

Yes, I am running on MacOS. Sorry; didn't indicate that I had done that
(single-quoted the string). Here was the totality of my command line, in
case there are other interactions involved:
mvn clean install -fae -Pminlog -Dtest='TestCaseFoo#testBar'
(minlog is a profile that I defined that sets a few properties, nothing
else).
Thanks for your prompt and professional response.

ahem...
are you running on a unix system?
you do know # is the comment start marker for most unix shells
you'd need to escape it with \ or quote the entire -D....
