Thanks
I am attempting to avoid any additional Java coding, though a Java test-suite file is fairly simple code and easy to maintain. I think you are right that surefire runs the test classes in the order it finds them. In fact failsafe runs the classes in the same order as surefire, not surprising since the failsafe code is a branch off of surefire. I am puzzled on how surefire/failsafe finds the files to test. I am running Windows XP and a directory listing from a cmd window shows 06/26/2009 10:15 AM 7,481 cleanupQA3.java 06/24/2009 03:41 PM 35,593 QA3.java 06/24/2009 03:32 PM 8,761 SAM.java However both surefire and failsafe run the test classes in this order: QA3, cleanupQA3, SAM. That order is not by date, filename or size Bill Josephson Cengage Learning -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Connolly [mailto:stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 26, 2009 1:23 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Order of Execution For Classes Included In A Surefire Plugin Execution A couple of points: 1. Have you considered using failsafe-maven-plugin to run your integration tests? That way you can set up your integration test env using pre-integration-test phase, tear it down in post-integration-test phase and then check the results in the verify phase... it might simplify your surefire plugin config as well. 2. I think the philosophy of surefire is that it will run test classes in the order that it finds them. If you need to run test classes in a specific order, you need to create a test suite. -Stephen 2009/6/25 Josephson, William (APG) <william.joseph...@cengage.com>: > I am using Maven 2.1.0, and the surefire plugin to run integration tests. > > I have the following execution element within my pom: > > <execution> > <id>first</id> > <phase>integration-test</phase> > <goals> > <goal>test</goal> > </goals> > <configuration> > <includes> > <include>**\SAM.java</include> > <include>**\QA3.java</include> > <include>**\cleanupQA3.java</include> > </includes> > <skip>false</skip> > </configuration> > </execution> > > I would expect that the tests within class SAM would be executed first, > followed by the tests in class QA3 etc. > > But instead the tests in class QA3 are performed first. > > Shouldn't the tests be performed at least in the order that the classes are > declared? > > Thanks, > > Bill Josephson > Cengage Learning > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
