[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (AS7-856) Replace -DskipTests=true with -DallTests

[Carlo de Wolf (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-856?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12604941#comment-12604941 ] 

Carlo de Wolf commented on AS7-856:
-----------------------------------

A temporary work-around is:
{{$ mvn -DallTests -DskipTests=true clean install}}

It only shows how illogical the property usage has become.

> Using skipTests as a flag has a negative side effect such that you cannot do
>  > mvn -Dtest=SomeTestCase test
> in an integration module any more. Instead you have to do
>  > mvn -DskipTests=false -Dtest=SomeTestCase test
> This is non-intuitive and non-standard. Instead I propose to use an 
> alternate switch like 'allTests' to turn on profiles which run the 
> complete set of tests. IMHO its ok to exclude entire (testsuite) modules 
> from the build (i.e. not to compile the tests) because compilation 
> errors show up in the IDE and Hudson anyway.
> I propose
> 1) By default, all normal modules and testsuite/smoke will be built in 
> the standard way
> (i.e. failing tests will fail the build)
> 2) By adding -DskipTests=true tests that would normally be executed are skipped
> 3) By adding -DallTests all modules that contain tests will be executed. In Hudson you could add -fae
> which fails the build at the end - so catch all failing tests in a single run
> It boils down to whether you want to compile tests that you don't want to execute.
> IMHO that's not necessary in day to day work - Hudson can catch this.
