------------------------------------------
Summary: Regex testcase filtering: exception when hashmark is regex-quoted
Key: SUREFIRE-1250
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1250
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
Affects Versions: 2.19.1
Reporter: Zoltan Haindrich
Priority: Minor
i've been using regex to select which tests to run...and i've got some wierd exceptions when executing
{{code}}
mvn test "-Dtest=%regex[.*\Q#\E.*]"
{{code}}
executing the above command results in:
{{code}}
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException:
Illegal/unsupported escape sequence near index 1
\E.*

i noticed earlier that maven might do some black-magic with these regexps in the background ( i know that it should know the class name earlier; to avoid starting testcases which will get entirely excluded...and thats cool )
...so..i assume maven does split the regex by the {{#}}; and that's okay - if that can't be avoided; place some pointers in the documentation about it and/or a more descriptive exception could be useful
