I've been trying to use Maven with the Surefire plugin to run some JUnit unit tests.
Following the instructions provided by Maven and the Surefire folks here: http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/single-test.html
My command for maven is as follows:
mvn clean -Dtest-group=regression -Dtest=TestClass#testMethod test
TestGroup is pulled from an @IfProfileValue statement and has always worked:
@IfProfileValue(name = "test-group", values = {"regression"})
However after I run the command, despite being sure that testClass has a method named testMethod(which would run if I didn't add the #testMethod to the command) my output is as follows:
~/REPOS/app: mvn clean -Dtest-group=regression -Dtest=TestClass#testmethod test
