Maven config params do not seem to be accepted

Hi,

Trying to reduce the number of flags on the maven run command. I followed the documentation regarding parameters that could be incorporated into maven.

  <plugin>
    <groupId>Parasoft</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-parasoft-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>soatest-test</id>
        <phase>verify</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>soatest</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <clean>false</clean>
          <config>soatest.builtin://Demo Configuration</config>
          <!-- <soatestHome>C:/Program Files/Parasoft/SOAtest &amp; Virtualize/2022.1</soatestHome> -->
          <!-- <localsettings>src/test/resources/soatest/localsettings.properties</localsettings> -->
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

Using the above maven config and:

mvn Parasoft:maven-parasoft-plugin:soatest -Dparasoft.soatest.home="C:\Program Files\Parasoft\SOAtest & Virtualize\2022.1" -Dparasoft.localsettings="C:\WS\workspaces\SoaTest\Settings\settings.txt"

things run as expected (Vanilla config).

Now the fun begins. If I uncomment the local settings in the pom, and run:

mvn Parasoft:maven-parasoft-plugin:soatest -Dparasoft.soatest.home="C:\Program Files\Parasoft\SOAtest & Virtualize\2022.1"

it will not work, UNLESS I place the localsettings.properties in the root directory, per the documentation. In other words, it appears to be flat out ignoring the definition from within the pom.

This problem is further exhibited when uncommenting both the local settings and the home in the pom, and run:

mvn Parasoft:maven-parasoft-plugin:soatest

At this point, we get the behavior seen when no home is defined.

I'm lead to believe that NONE of the properties defined in the pom are being read. Please advise. Thanks.

Your pom looks incorrect. You probably want ${project.basedir} in the front of the path as in ${project.basedir}/src/test/resources/soatest/localsettings.properties

At this point, we get the behavior seen when no home is defined

When I do not define the SOAtest "home" then I see an error like this:
Cannot run program "soatestcli": error=2, No such file or directory

This error goes away if I set parasoft.soatest.home on the command line or if I set the soatestHome configuration element in my pom.xml. The soatestcli is found when I set the SOAtest "home" either way.

Please use the new SOAtest Maven Plugin: https://parasoft.github.io/soatest-maven-plugin/
