Known bug should not break the build
------------------------------------
Key: MSUREFIRE-178
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-178
Project: Maven 2.x Surefire Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Junit 3.x support
Affects Versions: 2.2
Environment: Maven 2.0.4
Reporter: J-C Walmetz
Priority: Minor
With surefire plugin we can exclude a test, Ignore failures or skip tests.
- If I exclude a test, test is not in surefire report
- If I ignore failures, it ignore all the failures. Report contains all the
tests but I not able to know is tests in failure where expectedc or not.
- If I skip test, I have no more report.
Sometimes we discover a bug in our source code but don't know how to fix it. If
this bug is acceptable, it is a known bug. In order not to forget it, I'd like
to implement a testcase that have to be in the final report. This bug is known
and accepted, so it sould not break the build. It would be great to be able to
add in plugin configuration a list of know test failure. If a tests included in
this list failed, it does not break the build but as test has been executed it
will be display in the report. If another tests failed, it is an unknown bug,
it should break the build.
Config may looks like:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<knownFailures>
< knownFailure >
<test>com.mytest.MyBugTestCase</test>
<exception>java.lang.NullPointerException</test>
</knownFailure >
</knownFailures >
</configuration>
</plugin>
