Hi Steve. > java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected hexadecimal seed: random
This is another difference -- forgot about it, apologies. I chose not to have magic constants for seed. An empty seed (empty string) or an undefined property means the seed should be random. > Assuming a value will always be passed in for tests.seed, would the empty > string work? Yes, it should work just fine. I didn't mention it but there is actually an equivalent of <junit4> task as a maven plugin... it basically redirects to the ant-plugin but has a maven-like facade for passing the basic set of properties. I don't think it makes such a big difference for maven build - we can stick to surefire. Let me know if you'd like to try that other plugin though -- an example of a maven pom using it is here: https://github.com/carrotsearch/randomizedtesting/blob/master/examples/maven/pom.xml > I don't know how enable pass-through user-specified-sysprops for surefire and > also *not* specify sysprops when the user has not specified them - do you? No, I have no idea if this is possible. > Alternatively, would it be possible to re-enable "random" as a valid value > for tests.seed? I'd rather not (for reasons above) but if it's a really painful change then I can put it on the agenda and support, sure.
