Maven Surefire JUnit5 TreeView Extension

If you are a Maven Surefire user and ever wanted a fancy tree output for your tests instead of a bunch of logs, you absolutely should try this.

This is a dependency for maven-surefire-plugin, it adds a tree view for the unit tests executed using JUnit5.

Installation

The Maven Repository can be found here.

Configure your POM like the following

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>me.fabriciorby</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-junit5-tree-reporter</artifactId>
            <version>1.2.1</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    <configuration>
        <reportFormat>plain</reportFormat>
        <consoleOutputReporter>
            <disable>true</disable>
        </consoleOutputReporter>
        <statelessTestsetInfoReporter
                implementation="org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.extensions.junit5.JUnit5StatelessTestsetInfoTreeReporter">
        </statelessTestsetInfoReporter>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Output Theme

The output can be printed using two Themes: UNICODE and ASCII (by default).

UNICODE

<statelessTestsetInfoReporter
        implementation="org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.extensions.junit5.JUnit5StatelessTestsetInfoTreeReporter">
    <theme>UNICODE</theme>
</statelessTestsetInfoReporter>

ASCII

<statelessTestsetInfoReporter
        implementation="org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.extensions.junit5.JUnit5StatelessTestsetInfoTreeReporter">
    <theme>ASCII</theme>
</statelessTestsetInfoReporter>

Failure details

By default, <consoleOutputReporter><disable>true</disable></consoleOutputReporter> disables all console output. To debug test failures, it may be useful to see the console output and stack traces when a test fails. To do so, you can configure this extension like this:

<statelessTestsetInfoReporter
        implementation="org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.extensions.junit5.JUnit5StatelessTestsetInfoTreeReporter">
    <printStacktraceOnError>true</printStacktraceOnError>
    <printStacktraceOnFailure>true</printStacktraceOnFailure>
    <printStdoutOnError>true</printStdoutOnError>
    <printStdoutOnFailure>true</printStdoutOnFailure>
    <printStdoutOnSuccess>false</printStdoutOnSuccess>
    <printStderrOnError>true</printStderrOnError>
    <printStderrOnFailure>true</printStderrOnFailure>
    <printStderrOnSuccess>false</printStderrOnSuccess>
</statelessTestsetInfoReporter>
