TestNG has the concept of a TestListener that gets notified before/after each test run. JUnit has the same thing I believe. (http://testng.org/javadocs/org/testng/TestNG.html)
I have tried everything I could to pass the listener class into Surefire to no avail. I tried * adding listener property in my profile * adding entry to surefire plugin config * adding -Dlistener=Foo when running Maven None of these work as of Surefire 2.4. I checked out the Surefire sourcecode and found this code: TestNGExecutor.java public static void run( List suiteFiles, String testSourceDirectory, Map options, ArtifactVersion version, String classifier, ReporterManager reportManager, SurefireTestSuite suite, File reportsDirectory ) throws TestSetFailedException { TestNG testng = new TestNG( false ); Configurator configurator = getConfigurator( version ); configurator.configure( testng, options ); postConfigure( testng, testSourceDirectory, (String) options.get("listener"), classifier, reportManager, suite, reportsDirectory ); testng.setTestSuites( suiteFiles ); testng.run(); } TestNGExecutor looks for a "listener" entry in the options map (which then actually attaches the listener further on) but from what I can tell, the class that calls the executor, SurefirePlugin.java, never puts that key in the map: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/surefire/trunk/maven-surefire-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/surefire/SurefirePlugin.java?revision=605713&view=markup Look specifically at #convertTestNGParameters() Is this a bug? Or has anyone ever configured a TestNG TestListener class through Surefire?
