How do I set the timezone for unit tests in maven surefire on Java 8? With Java 7 this used to work with systemPropertyVariables like in the following configuration, but with Java 8 the tests just use the system timezone. <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <systemPropertyVariables> <user.timezone>UTC</user.timezone> </systemPropertyVariables> Why is that, and how do I fix it? Wouter Coekaerts Short answer Java now reads user.timezone earlier, before surefire sets the properties in systemPropertyVariables . The

I'm unable to adjust java logging's logging level. I'm using maven surefire (mvn test), and trying to adjust from the default INFO to e.g. FINEST. I have logging.properties file under src/test/resources/logging.properties after compile, i see under target/test-classes, i see a logging.properties file with the intended config: java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=FINEST javax.enterprise.system.container.ejb.level=FINE ... however the console output from glassfish only have INFO / SEVERE level messages.

I find the surefire-report plug-in very unsuitable to my working style. I clean the project all the time and I don't want to spend 5 min to rebuild the whole site every time I want to look at the test report in my browser. If I type mvn surefire-report:report-only , the generated report is too ugly and barely readable. What I'm looking for is something like ant's JUnitReport task.

But the problem is that mvn surefire-report:report-only doesn't create the the css/*

I have testFailureIgnore set to true in Surefire settings, but it doesn't help. How do I make maven run all tests? despot From the documentation: -fae , --fail-at-end Only fail the build afterwards; allow all non-impacted builds to continue -fn , --fail-never NEVER fail the build, regardless of project result So if you are testing one module than you are safe using -fae . Otherwise, if you have multiple modules, and if you want

For some reason I cannot get Maven 2 Surefire plugin to execute JUnit 4 test class. public class SimpleTest { @org.junit.Test public void simple() { System.out.println("foo"); } } However if I change this class to be JUnit-3 like, such as public class SimpleTest extends junit.framework.TestCase { public void testBar() { System.out.println("bar"); } @org.junit.Test public void simple() { System.out.println("foo"); } } then it gets executed. Here's what I've done: verified Maven version: Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 20:16:01+0100) verified Surefire version: followed this advice
