Consider usage of filesets to specify suite XML files
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-438
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-438
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: TestNG support
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Currently, one has to provide TestNG suite files individually because the
parameter {{sutieXmlFiles}} is of type {{java.io.File[]}}. This approach does
not scale well when one wants to run several/dozens of those files. A
motivating use-case would be to get TestNG to run a single test class per suite.
Specifying a fileset (like the one used by the maven-clean-plugin to specify
additional clean locations) instead of a file array would make things much
easier. This fileset parameter could be defaulted to a base directory like
"src/test/config/testng" and an include filter of "*.xml" such that the user
simply needs to drop his suite XML files into that folder and Surefire finds
them automatically ("convention over configuration").
