System Properties

JVM system properties prefixed with paramixel. override classpath configuration and built-in defaults. They are the highest-priority configuration source after programmatic runner configuration.

Setting system properties​

Maven​

./mvnw test -Dparamixel.parallelism=8
./mvnw test -Dparamixel.match.tag.regex=smoke
./mvnw test -Dparamixel.report.file=target/paramixel/report.json

Gradle​

./gradlew paramixelTest -Dparamixel.parallelism=8

Or in the build file:

tasks.register('paramixelTest', JavaExec) {
    systemProperty('paramixel.parallelism', '8')
    systemProperty('paramixel.match.tag.regex', 'smoke')
}

Programmatic​

System.setProperty("paramixel.parallelism", "8");

Boolean parsing​

Boolean configuration values use strict parsing: only the trimmed, case-insensitive string "true" returns true. Every other value — including null — returns false.

paramixel.failureOnSkip=true    # → true
paramixel.failureOnSkip=True    # → true
paramixel.failureOnSkip=yes     # → false
paramixel.failureOnSkip=1       # → false

Available system properties​

See Configuration Properties for the full list of built-in keys. All keys prefixed with paramixel. are recognized as Paramixel system properties.

Custom properties can also be passed via system properties:

./mvnw test -Dparamixel.my.custom.key=value

These are accessible via Configuration.systemConfiguration() and Context#configuration().
