Overriding property in maven archetype integration test

Question

I'm generating a project from an archetype and I have a property in pom of this generated project (archetype-resources/pom):

  <properties>
    <myProperty>productionValue</myProperty>
  </properties>

and the following surefire configuration:

      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.22.2</version>
        <configuration>
          <argLine>
            -Djava.library.path=${myProperty}
          </argLine>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

I want myProperty to be overridden with value from my archetype pom when I run ITs and stay the same when users generate this project. How do I do that?

I tried setting it in archetype.properties file, but it has a variable in it: myProperty=${project.basedir}/IT/path. I want ${project.basedir} to be a basedir of archetype project in case of ITs, not of generated project, which is not the case when I do it like that.

Another way I tried is to use plugin configuration:

        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-archetype-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>${maven-archetype.version}</version>
          <executions>
            <execution>
                <goals>
                    <goal>integration-test</goal>
                </goals>
              <configuration>
                <properties>
                  <myProperty>${project.basedir}/IT/path</myProperty>
                </properties>
              </configuration>
            </execution>
          </executions>
        </plugin>

But it didn't work as well, myProperty in pom of generated project is not changed. What is it that I'm doing wrong? Thank you so much for your help!

Answer 1

The problem was that I have put

<configuration>
  <properties>
    <myProperty>${project.basedir}/IT/path</myProperty>
  </properties>
</configuration>

under <execution> tag and not <plugin>. After I did that it worked as expected.
