Troubleshooting

No factories discovered

Check that factory methods are public static, annotated with @Paramixel.Factory, and return Action, Builder, or null. If you expect discovery to fail the build when empty, set:

paramixel.failIfNoTests=true

Factory is not selected

Check filters:

-Dparamixel.match.package.regex=...
-Dparamixel.match.class.regex=...
-Dparamixel.match.tag.regex=...

Regex filters use find() semantics, not full-string-only matching.

Factory is skipped

A factory returning null creates a skipped action outcome. A method annotated with @Paramixel.Disabled is excluded from discovery entirely.

Report file missing

Set paramixel.report.file and ensure the process can write the parent directory.

Unexpected exit code

paramixel.failureOnAbort defaults to true; aborted results produce failing exit codes by default. Set paramixel.failureOnSkip=true if skipped results should also fail CI. Use paramixel.failFast=true to stop scheduling remaining tests after the first failed or aborted action.

Runtime property changes are ignored

Configuration.defaultConfiguration() caches its result indefinitely after the first call per classloader. If you call System.setProperty() mid-run expecting it to take effect, the cached configuration will be returned instead.

Workaround: Use Configuration.systemConfiguration() to get a fresh snapshot of current system properties, or construct a Configuration.of(...) map with your desired overrides and pass it to the Runner.Builder.

See Configuration Caching for details.
