I’ve got it somewhat working by extending TestsToRun with my implementation. Everything is fine, except that surefire loads all test classes before launching any test just to create test description. (It’s a JUnit4Provider that’s doing it).
Do you think it’s safe to omit creation of test description if TestsToRun.allowEagerReading method returns false? > On 07 Nov 2014, at 22:00, Marek Piechut <marek.piec...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi. > > I’m trying to modify surefire plugin to make it lazily receive tests from > another host. > I’ve done a quick look at surefire plugin code and it looks that it could be > done by some variation around LazyTestsToRun. > Later on I’ve also found TestProvidingInputStream that also looks useful. > > Do you have any hint what’s the best way to achieve what I’m trying to do? > Any test I can take a look to get better understanding how to do this? > > Exact use case below if you have time :) > > At my company we have a quite big integration test suite and a Jenkins > cluster that’s launching them. > We divide all tests to few categories and run each category on separate node. > > What I’ve noticed is that we often have these categories unbalanced (one > machine needs much more time to launch it’s portion of tests while rest is > waiting before whole suite can be finished).
