Surefire not picking up tests from test-jar

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

Has anybody tried running a test-jar with Surefire 2.4.1?

It's not picking up any of our unit tests from the test jar.

We're using JUnit 4.4 (but the tests in the test jar are all JUnit 3.8.1)

It's picking up the unit tests from src/test/java fine, but we have packaged
our compatability tests are in a separate jar file so that they can be used
across the two modules that must be compatable.

I don't know if it ever worked. I switched to the dependency hack.

When you say "with Surefire 2.4.1" do you mean that this used to work in 
an earlier version?

Based on what I think I know about Surefire, it would surprise me if this 
ever worked.  The algorithm for finding tests searches for .class files in 
target/test-classes.

One workaround would be to use maven-dependency-plugin to unpack your 
test-jar(s) into the target/test-classes directory.

If this is a regression, please file an issue in JIRA with a minimal Maven 
project that reproduces the problem.  (In this case, I think the 
appropriate thing would be a simple reactor build that installs a test-jar 
in one sub-project and tries to run its tests in a second sub-project.)
