  1. POWhy does surefire ignore test categories for Scala specs2 test when run with maven surefire?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a Scala Specs 2 test that looks as follows:</p> <pre><code>import org.specs2.mutable.Specification import org.junit.runner.RunWith import org.junit.experimental.categories.Category import util.categories.NightlyTestCategory import org.specs2.runner.JUnitRunner import org.junit.Test import org.junit.runners.JUnit4 @RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner]) class MyTest extends Specification { "My Test" should { "succeed" in { done } } } </code></pre> <p>Note that the above test uses a custom runner JUnitRunner (from Specs2) to execute the test. I use Maven 3 to maintain the project and have configured surefire to only include tests marked with group NightlyTestCategory:</p> <pre><code> &lt;plugin&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-surefire-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;2.15&lt;/version&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; ... &lt;groups&gt;util.categories.NightlyTestCategory&lt;/groups&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I execute the tests, I expect Maven to not run the above test as it is not annotated with Category NightlyTestCategory. However, Maven does execute the test. The strange thing is that if I turn the test into a regular JUnit test that is executed with JUnit4 runner, Maven will execute this test only if I add Category NightlyTestCategory:</p> <pre><code>@RunWith(classOf[JUnit4]) @Category(Array(classOf[NightlyTestCategory])) class MyTest extends Specification { @Test def test = println("Test") } </code></pre> <p>For me it seems like using the custom Specs2 runner JUnitRunner somehow influences surefire to ignore the groups setting and simply run all the tests it finds. I am looking for a solution that allows me to run the specs2 test with JUnitRunner but at the same time the category should be respected.</p>
