Hi,
I am new to Maven, I am working on converting the unit tests from Ant build to
Maven build. I have a basic question for surefire plugin and hope someone on
this list can help. Thanks in advance.
In Ant build xml file, we need to copy a property file to a /tmp directory
before each test, something like this:
<target name="test-properties">
<copy file="properties.data" tofile=“/tmp/properties.data" overwrite="true" />
<junit>
<test name="TestProperties"/>
</junit>
<copy file="properties.data" tofile=“/tmp/properties.data" overwrite="true" />
<junit>
<test name="TestPropertiesAgain"/>
</junit>
</target>
I am trying to use Maven to achieve this in <build><plugins> shown below. The
first test seems work fine and updated /tmp/properties.data as expected.
But the second test failed because the /tmp/properties.data is not overwritten
by maven-resources-plugin. It still has the content from the last test run.
There is a warning saying from the output of "mvn clean test":
[WARNING] 'build.plugins.plugin.(groupId:artifactId)' must be unique but found
duplicate declaration of plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin.
Is this the cause of the file not copied? How can I handle this case in Maven?
Thanks,
