Surefire and testSourceDirectory
Hi,
can someone tell me what is the purpose of <testSourceDirectory> in configuration of the surefire plugin. I do not think this parameter work at all. There is project.build.testSourceDirectory and I use it to point at my filtered test source files. But this method is very inconvenient due to NetBeans IDE - there is no "Test Packages" in project tree then.
Is there another way to tell compiler where test sources are? I tried to set project.build.testSourceDirectory (outside pom.xml) in profiles.xml, but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance
Regards

off topic:
If the testSourceDirectory param isn't set correctly, unit test source files
wouldn't be found and thus not run (as they cannot be compiled).

Source files are not run. You mean <testClassesDirectory>. This property must be set to directory where compiled test classes are placed. <testSourceDirectory> can be set in surefire configuration to whatever directory, and tests work properly.

Well, the purpose is what the docs says:
"The test source directory containing test class sources."
And it does work, otherwise no unit tests would work/run for any Maven
project. As a convention, this param is defined in the Maven super pom. Have
a look here:
http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#The_Super_POM
If you want to change this to some other directory and that causes problem
in your IDE, that's a question for that IDE's Maven integration feature.
It's not a Maven issue.
If you do want to change the value of the testSourceDirectory param, you
should do that in your project's pom. Do that in the same manner as it's
defined in the super pom (not by a 'project.build.testSourceDirectory'
property).

[Marcin Kwapisz]
Why? This is parameter for surefire with default value set to ${project.build.testSourceDirectory}. The documentation for the surefire plugin is very misleading, and I think testSourceDirectory should be removed from required parameters (if it is ignored). I can set other parameters like classesDirectory and testClassesDirectory in the surefire configuration and they work. The description of these two parameters is identical to testSourcesDirectory

Marcin

This is simply not where testSourceDirectory goes in the pom. The
Surefire plugin does not look for this value where you've put it,
therefore it has no effect on your build which is correct.
Refer to the XSD [1] (search for testSourceDirectory) and the Surefire
plugin docs [2].

The following configuration doesn't work, testSourceDirectory under surefire plugin configuration can be set to any directory:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
<configuration>
<testSourceDirectory>${project.build.directory}/filteredTestSources</testSourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
And that one of course works (I use it), and if there is no test sources, no test will be compiled and run:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<testSourceDirectory>${project.build.directory}/filteredTestSources</testSourceDirectory>
</build>
I attached simple example to this email, but I do not know if the list server accept it

Marcin

Hi
Usually i use the tag <testSourceDirectory> in order to indicate if tests are for integration (<testSourceDirectory>src/it</testSourceDirectory>) or for unit tests (<testSourceDirectory>src/test</testSourceDirectory>)
I use 2 modules, one for unit tests and another for integration tests
