动态包含和排除maven-surefire-plugin

Question

Could you please advise me on whether or not I can dynamically change Include and Exclude for the Maven Surfire Plugin?

For example:

<build>
                <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>2.18.1</version>
                        <configuration>
                            <includes>
                                <include>**/${param}Spec*.*</include>
                            </includes>
                        </configuration>
                    </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>

I would like to have $param passed from the command line when we perform the Maven test command.

Please give advice if you have a solution. I have tried argline and systemProperties

Thanks!

I don't think there is a way to pass dynamic parameter, but you can use below trick if you have limited combinations of exclusions/inclusions. Trick is using profiles with different combinations like combo1, combo2 etc. Then you can run maven build with specific profile & only those include/exclude will work.

Command = mvn clean package -P combo1

pom.xml

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>combo1</id>
        <build>
                <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>2.18.1</version>
                        <configuration>
                            <includes>
                                <include>**/Combo1Spec*.*</include>
                            </includes>
                        </configuration>
                    </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>
    </profile>

    <profile>
        <id>combo2</id>
        <build>
                <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>2.18.1</version>
                        <configuration>
                            <includes>
                                <include>**/Combo2Spec*.*</include>
                            </includes>
                        </configuration>
                    </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>
    </profile>
</profiles>
