Laird Nelson commented on SUREFIRE-649: --------------------------------------- I neglected to set the priority down from major, as the workaround is simply to continue to use the deprecated systemProperties stanza. My apologies. > Might be impossible to have empty strings in systemPropertyVariables element > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-649 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-649 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Maven Surefire Plugin > Affects Versions: 2.6 > Reporter: Laird Nelson > Attachments: surefireEmptyStringIssue.tar.gz > > > This stanza: > <systemProperties> > <property> > <name>emptyProperty</name> > <value></value> > </property> > </systemProperties> > ...yields "" from System.getProperty("emptyProperty"). > This (supposedly better) stanza: > <systemPropertyVariables> > <emptyProperty></emptyProperty> > </systemPropertyVariables> > ...yields null from System.getProperty("emptyProperty"). > A test case is attached that demonstrates the issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
