Maven Plugin

The Paramixel Maven plugin provides the test goal.

Parameters​

skipTests​

  • property: paramixel.skipTests
  • default: false

failIfNoTests​

  • property: paramixel.failIfNoTests
  • default: true

failureOnSkip​

  • property: paramixel.failureOnSkip
  • default: false

When true, skipped tests cause the build to fail (equivalent to exit code 1). When false (default), skipped tests are treated as successful (exit code 0).

properties​

Custom key/value pairs merged into Paramixel runtime configuration.

Example configuration​

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.paramixel</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${paramixel.version}</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>test</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <failIfNoTests>false</failIfNoTests>
        <properties>
            <property>
                <key>paramixel.parallelism</key>
                <value>4</value>
            </property>
        </properties>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

CLI flags​

./mvnw test -Dparamixel.skipTests=true
./mvnw test -Dparamixel.failIfNoTests=false
./mvnw test -Dparamixel.failureOnSkip=true
./mvnw test -Dparamixel.parallelism=8

Discovery behavior​

The plugin builds a test classloader from:

  • target/test-classes when present
  • target/classes when present
  • Maven test classpath dependencies

It then calls:

Resolver.resolveActions(testClassLoader, configuration)

The configuration map is passed to the resolver so that paramixel.parallelism controls both thread pool sizing (in Runner) and discovered action parallelism (in Resolver).

That means discovered factories are combined with the resolver default, which is Resolver.Composition.PARALLEL.

Configuration precedence​

The plugin builds configuration in this order:

  1. Configuration.defaultProperties()
  2. plugin <properties>
  3. JVM system properties whose keys start with paramixel.

Source layout note​

In this repository, Paramixel examples live under examples/src/main/java because the plugin discovers and runs action factories from compiled classes, not from JUnit's src/test/java convention.
