Bryan Turner created SUREFIRE-1599:
--------------------------------------
Summary: %regex pattern handling does not match documentation
Key: SUREFIRE-1599
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1599
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 2.22.1, 2.22.0
Environment: Windows
Reporter: Bryan Turner
[This pull request|https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/138] updated
the inclusion/exclusion documentation to state:
{quote}
Regex matches are done over paths using slashes ("/") and not package names
using dots ("."), so the "." in pkg.\*Slow.\*.class is a regex metacharacter,
which happens to match any character, notably the (forward) slashes ("/") that
make up the path. Slashes here are forward, even on Windows
{quote}
That's not true, at least in Surefire 2.22+. I've prepared a [simple
reproduction|https://github.com/bturner/surefire-slashes]. Built on Linux or
macOS, Surefire will correctly skip {{ExampleIntegrationTest}}, but on Windows
it will run (and fail the build).
Surefire is configured as follows:
{code}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.1</version>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>%regex[it/.*]</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
Per the documentation, that forward slash should work on Windows as well as
Linux and macOS.
(Note: This also effects Failsafe, as one might expect.)
