cardil commented on issue #112: Adding support for externally passed random seed and printing used seed on console URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/112#issuecomment-498011714 > @cardil I'd like to appreciate this plugin extension. I've used it for my project to find some test orders that may lead to failures, it's very convenient that I can reproduce exact order on any machine whatever JVM it has. > BooterConstants This property is used to pass a computed random seed to forked process with Booter Serializer/Deserializer. Passing just run order is insufficient. When user do not pass a seed, I generate one and use it to order tests and print it on console. I can modify runOrder value, bu i feel like that's code smell. Better to leave it in original value and add additional parameter as exact seed - genereted or given. Example: User gives `-Dsurefire.runOrder=random`. I generate seed, say: `128312` and pass `runOrder => random, seed => 128312` to forked process. When user gives `-Dsurefire.runOrder=random:128312`, I reuse seed given and pass `runOrder => random:128312, seed => 128312` to forked process.
