Produce tree output with Surefire like the JUnit 5 console launcher

Question

The Console Launcher that comes with JUnit Platform (from JUnit 5) produces a quite nice summary view at the end. The Maven Surefire plugin, however, has a very simple output.

Is it possible to create with Surefire output similar to what the launches creates?

Answer 1

My current workaround is to disable surefire and use exec-maven-plugin to manually run ConsoleLauncher:

<!-- disable surefire -->
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version><!-- ... --></version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>default-test</id>
      <phase>none</phase>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
<!-- enable ConsoleLauncher -->
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version><!-- ... --></version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>test</phase>
      <goals><goal>java</goal></goals>
      <configuration>
        <mainClass>org.junit.platform.console.ConsoleLauncher</mainClass>
        <arguments>
          <argument>--scan-class-path</argument>
          <argument>${project.build.directory}/test-classes</argument>
        </arguments>
        <classpathScope>test</classpathScope>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit-platform-console-standalone</artifactId>
  <version><!-- ... --></version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
