Maven failsafe systemPropertyVariables

Question

I defined some systemPropertyVariables for the maven-failsafe-plugin. When the integration tests are run during the integration phase, the systemPropertyVariablesare picked up correctly.

When I run a single test via my IDE (IntelliJ), the systemPropertyVariablesare also picked up but I do not want that.

Is there a way to prevent this, without using maven profiles?

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.0.0-M3</version>
                <configuration>
                    <includes>
                        <include>**/*End2EndTest.java</include>
                    </includes>
                    <systemPropertyVariables>
                        <tomcat.host>host</tomcat.host>
                        <tomcat.port>8080</tomcat.port>
                        <tomcat.context>/</tomcat.context>
                        <tests.browser.name>chrome</tests.browser.name>
                        <tests.selenium.grid.address>http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/</tests.selenium.grid.address>
                        <spring.profiles.active>build</spring.profiles.active>
                    </systemPropertyVariables>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
     </build>

Thanks in advance. Regards

The configuration element is at the plugin level, thus it will apply for all builds. To limit it, create an execution and move the configuration into it.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0-M3</version>
    <configuration>
        <!-- this configuration applies to all builds
             using this plugin, whether by specific
             goal, or phase.  -->
        <includes>
            <include>**/*End2EndTest.java</include>
        </includes>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <!-- this configuration only is used if
                 the integration-test phase, or later
                 phase, is executed -->
            <id>integration-test</id>
            <phase>integration-test</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>integration-test</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <systemPropertyVariables>
                    <tomcat.host>host</tomcat.host>
                    <tomcat.port>8080</tomcat.port>
                    <tomcat.context>/</tomcat.context>
                    <tests.browser.name>chrome</tests.browser.name>
                    <tests.selenium.grid.address>http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/</tests.selenium.grid.address>
                    <spring.profiles.active>build</spring.profiles.active>
                </systemPropertyVariables>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>    
</plugin>

With this in place:

• mvn failsafe:integration-test would NOT pick up the system properties.
• mvn integration-test, mvn verify, mvn deploy etc will use them.
• Any of the commands will use the includes.
