m2eclipse with surefire

[Pedro Pedruzzi]

Hi!

Does anybody know if m2eclipse is implementing some kind of
integration between maven's surefire plugin ('test' phase) and, for
example, the junit jdt plugin?

It would be very nice if one could view junit test results in junit
plugin's gui.

Regards,

No, there are currently no plans to integrate surefire plugin and JDT UI,
but you should be able to run project unit tests directly from Eclipse UI,
i.e. right-click, run as, junit tests. Is there a particular reason you
need/prefer to run maven 'test' phase?

  As Igor already pointed out, you can run project tests using regular
Run as... / JUnit test.

  JUnit UI doesn't really allow any pluggability, though it is probably
relatively simple to implement import of Surefire reports to JUnit view.
Say, it could be an action that you could call from the reports folder,
but I don't remember if JUnit view in Eclipse 3.3 had an Import action
(I am pretty sure it wasn't in 3.2 and I see it in 3.4).

  Also note that you could open txt reports as text files and stacktrace
hyperlinking would work there (if you have Mylyn installed).

Hi Igor and Eugene. Thanks for your attention.

I noticed that.

Using Maven as build tool, I would prefer running every build phase
with it. For example, if I ask maven to build, pack and install some
project, it will pass trough the test phase. If some tests happen to
fail than I will have to rerun those externaly (from Maven) to get
more information (stack trace) and have IDE integration, without
having to handle generated report files directly.

It is really very natural testing with 'Run as...', but if Maven has
its own testing phase, it would be very nice to have that more
integrated with JUnit or TestNG, eclipse GUIs (specially in a failure
case).

  I see where you coming from, but that I guess it really depend on the
developer's workflow.

  The primary goal of m2eclipse is to support quick turnaround during
development cycles and to facilitate edit, compile (which is done
transparently by JDT) and test from within the IDE. Using workspace
resolution provided by m2eclipse you don't have to install or deploy
anything while coding. So you don't really need to run mvn install in
order to run your tests. Again, because m2eclipse made it transparent,
using Run As... / JUnit in the IDE would give you the same results as
running mvn test (assuming that you have up to date project
configuration in the IDE). You don't really want to run "mvn install"
every time you edited something in your IDE, but at the point you get to
installing your stuff you should be secure that all tests would pass.

  All in all I'd say it wouldn't be a high priority for m2eclipse team
to implement support showing surefire reports in junit view, but if
someone would want to contribute such feature, we will be glad to accept
the patch and will help implementing it.

  regards,
  Eugene

And it does a _great_ job in that! :-)

That is right. I see your point.

Thank for the clarifying!
