Define "grader" and "haltOnFailingCoverage" Maven properties
Several students have been confused by the "errors" reported by IntelliJ related to the undefined grader
and haltOnFailingCoverage
properties referenced in the grader
Maven profile.
I should investigate if I can define the properties in such a way so that the grader
profile still behaves as expected without causing these errors.
Perhaps I can move the declaration of the grader
profile to a parent POM.
With regards to the use of ${grader}
that IntelliJ doesn't like:
<activation>
<activeByDefault>${grader}</activeByDefault>
</activation>
There is a way to activate a profile based on a property being set:
https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
However, I have a feeling that it is this way for a reason. I added in 292833814caa262853a84687567d66dfcb2cce87 to get the archetype integration tests to work.
I tried using a custom settings.xml
file for the tests: https://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/integration-test-mojo.html#settingsFile
But that didn't seem to activate the grader
profile.
I tried changing the profile to be activated by a property. Even though I seta <property>
in the pom.xml
, the profile still wasn't activated.
I can at least get rid of the "haltOnFailingCoverage" warning by defining a property in the top-level POM. The (valid) complain about activeByDefault
is that the value isn't a boolean
. I don't know how to get rid of that.
