VM Arguments with maven-failsafe-plugin [closed]

I'm trying to pass a VM argument into Maven, specifically for a suite of tests run by failsafe.

My pom.xml looks like this:

...
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <argLine>-Dtest.data=true</argLine>
  </configuration>
  <version>2.7.2</version>
  <executions开发者_运维知识库>
    <execution>
      <id>integration-test</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>integration-test</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
    <execution>
      <id>verify</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>verify</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
...

When I run the command mvn clean verify the tests that rely on test.data being set to true are failing. However, when I run the command mvn -Dtest.data=true clean verify the tests all pass. I need the argument to be set inside the pom for my CI environment.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,

Pete

Use the <systemPropertyVariables> element to set system properties (I don't see where <argLine> is mentioned in the documentation, where did you find it?):

<configuration>
    <systemPropertyVariables>
        <test.data>true</test.data>
    </systemPropertyVariables>
</configuration>

Ok it turns out that the integration tests that I was trying to run needed to have this argument passed into the Tomcat plugin not the Failsafe plugin. Thanks for your help guys!
