Description

I ran into a problem, and found the solution:
 
My pom started out like this:
 
 

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.22.0</version>
   <configuration>
       <excludes>
           <exclude>**/RunBackendTest.groovy</exclude>
       </excludes>
     </configuration>
 </plugin>
  

This didn’t work in any way!
 
I copied the pom plugin configuration from this page: https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/inclusion-exclusion.html
 
But I finally solved the problem. My pom now looks like this:
 
 

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.22.0</version>
   <configuration>
       <excludes>
           <exclude>**/RunBackendTest</exclude>
       </excludes>
   </configuration>
</plugin>  

See the difference ? No extension on test file! But the above referenced maven documentation examples do include the extensions, which clearly does not work.
