Question about migrating to scalatest-maven-plugin (from surefire)

[bkuder]

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade my maven project from using Surefire for unit tests to using the scalatest-maven-plugin instead.

I'm getting tripped up on one use case we have and am wondering how to achieve the comparable functionality using the scalatest plugin.

In my maven module, I have Scala tests (implemented with FunSpec) in two different packages. My test files are all named like "*Spec" and use the JUnitRunner annotation. Let's call them com.truefit.apackage and com.truefit.anotherpackage.

I want to configure the scalatest plugin to execute *only* the com.truefit.apackage specs. In surefire, I am use the following surefire configuration to accomplish this:

<plugin>

        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

        <configuration>

          <includes>

            <include>com/truefit/apackage/**/*Spec.class</include>

          </includes>

        </configuration>

</plugin>

I'm at a loss at how to reproduce this behavior in the scalatest plugin. I see I can specify "tagsToInclude" and "tagsToExclude", but I'm not leveraging tags and I don't think they are what I want to use in this case.

Thoughts? Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Brian

Hi Brian,

Can you try:

<suites>com.truefit.apackage.*Spec</suites>

We did make -s take a glob, so in theory this should work from the Maven plugin. Please let us know on this list whether or not that solves your problem.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your quick response. I tried that syntax and get the below error. But, I'm still running an older version of scalatest (2.0.M5b), so perhaps I need to upgrade to the proper 2.0 release?

Regards,

Brian

Hi Brian,

Yes, the -s taking a glob feature was added post-2.0M5b. Please give 2.0 proper a try when you can and let us know if it works for you.

Thanks.

Bill

Upgraded to 2.0 proper and everything is now working as expected with the <suites> tag. Thanks so much for your help!
