Andreas Gudian commented on SUREFIRE-1058:
------------------------------------------
That's something that was never intended to work, at least that's how it looked
in the code.
I've added some rudimentary support for passing in regular expressions.
Rudimentary means: you can specify the {{\*}} and escape the {{.}} dot and the
{{\*}} with \. The following characters are still not supported: {{[ ] + ? ^}}
For allowing the rest of regular expressions (especially groups, as parenthesis
already have some other meaning), someone would have to do some lifting in the
javacc parser declaration and make sure you can't specify illegal groups for
JUnit - or cleanly separate both. Anyways, that's not something that I'm
looking forward to do. Pull-Requests are welcome, though... :)
You can give this a try in the 2.17-SNAPSHOT (should be deployed within the
next couple of minutes).

> I have a Maven project with parent -> child poms. Each child project has
> TestNG tests. What I'd like to be able to do is use regular expressions on
> the TestNG group and execute tests across projects which match the given
> regex.
> Running TestNG tests using a non-regular expression group across projects
> works just fine. For example this works:
> {noformat}mvn test -DargLine="-Denvironment=test"
> -Dgroups="foo.bar.something"{noformat}
> This runs the correct test methods which have that exact tag across all my
> child projects.
> However if I do something like this:
> {noformat}mvn test -DargLine="-Denvironment=test"
> -Dgroups="foo.bar.*"{noformat}
> I get this exception:
> {noformat}
