I have reopened the issue.
Can you please update the documentation?
> Clarify %regex
> --------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-1309
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1309
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.19.1
> Environment: Probably any environment
> Reporter: Sander Verhagen
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
>
> It would be good to clarify the {{%regex ...}} feature:
> 1. While it is said to be regular expression, it really is a {{regular
> expression + ".class"}} kind of thing. This does not work (while it is proper
> regex):
> {noformat}.+\.class{noformat} The following works (while it is not proper
> regex): {noformat}.+.class{noformat}
> 2. Clarify that one is supposed to match slashes between packages and class
> name, not periods. The following [current
> documentation|http://maven.apache.org/components/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/inclusion-exclusion.html]
> doesn't clarify that by just using "{{.*}}":
> {noformat}!%regex[pkg.*Slow.*.class]{noformat}
> 3. Clarify what the expectations are in terms of escaping characters
> I just spend literally ten hours figuring out a complex regex, going into
> TeamCity (which by itself complicated the troubleshooting for me), and the
> documentation could have saved my butt, here.
