Cannot "Test File" in "Other Test Sources" of maven project

[mdamone]

I am having problems running a test file when it is in the "Other Test Sources" of a maven project.

If I right-click the file under "Other Test Sources" and select "Test File", I get "No tests executed".

I cannot get any files under "Other Test Sources" to run individually, but they all run when I right-click on the project and select "Test" to run all tests in the project.

So to explain how I am putting the classes in the "Other Test Sources" I'm using the org.codehaus.mojo:build-helper-maven-plugin:1.5 plugin and it's "add-test-source" goal. This is because my project actually has different test sources that we'd like to keep separate, so I need to have this for now.

If i switch my unit tests to be the regular "testSourceDirectory" then I can run those through the right-click "Test File" option.

I have also ran the "Test File" option with the "-X" flag, and what I get from that is the "test" property ends up being blank (empty string) so I'm thinking the "className" property is not being populated when a class is in the "Other Sources Directory".

So with all that background, I'm just wondering if anyone can tell if I'm doing anything wrong or if this is just some kind of bug (maybe already a known bug)?

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
