Development Information

Build the Surefire project using Maven 3.2.5+ and JDK 1.8+.

• In order to run tests for a release check during the Vote, the following memory requirements are needed:

  On Linux/Unix:

  export MAVEN_OPTS="-server -Xmx512m -XX:MetaspaceSize=128m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=384m -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50 -Djava.awt.headless=true"
  

  On Windows:

  set MAVEN_OPTS="-server -Xmx256m -XX:MetaspaceSize=128m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=384m -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50 -Djava.awt.headless=true"
  

• In order to build and run the tests:

  mvn install site site:stage -P reporting,run-its
  

• To set up the project in Eclipse IDE or IntelliJ IDEA, please follow these steps:

  • Build module surefire-shared-utils with profile ide-development and install it into the local maven repository using this Maven command:

    mvn install -P ide-development -f surefire-shared-utils/pom.xml
    

  • Build module surefire-grouper in order to generate and compile sources into target/generated-sources/javacc using this Maven command:

    mvn compile -f surefire-grouper/pom.xml
    

  • In Eclipse, select File > Import ... > Maven Project

    • Select all projects (poms) except surefire-shared-utils, enter profile ide-development in Advanced -> Profiles
    • Check module surefire-grouper has source folder target/generated-sources/javacc. If not, add it manually in the module's project properties

  • In IntelliJ, select Maven > Profiles and check ide-development
