In Ready! API 1.6.0, how do you pass a Test Case tag as a command line parameter?

Question

Hi Community,
&nbsp;
I am trying to run some SoapUI tests using the Maven command line. In particular, I want to run specific tests using the 'tagging' feature in SoapUI but I'm not sure how to achieve this using maven?
&nbsp;
I'm thinking somehthing along the lines of mvn test -Dtags=addAccount
&nbsp;
Can anyone help?
&nbsp;
Cheers,
&nbsp;
Mike

Well, I haven't solved the problem - I still don't know how to reference tags in SoapUI 1.6.0 because I'm not sure what I need to update in the pom.xml file.&nbsp;Cheers,&nbsp;Mike&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hello,&nbsp;I'm going to dig this one backup since it's related to my issue and doesn't appear to be "Solved."&nbsp;I'm also trying to get the tags to work with maven and I've encountered an issue I'm wondering if it's a bug. &nbsp;I have two Jenkins projects that I've setup. The build section of my pom.xml is configured as follows:&nbsp;&lt;build&gt;
        &lt;plugins&gt;
            &lt;plugin&gt;
                &lt;dependencies&gt;
                    &lt;dependency&gt;
                        &lt;groupId&gt;junit&lt;/groupId&gt;
                        &lt;artifactId&gt;junit&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                        &lt;version&gt;3.8.1&lt;/version&gt;
                        &lt;scope&gt;runtime&lt;/scope&gt;
                    &lt;/dependency&gt;
                    &lt;dependency&gt;
                        &lt;groupId&gt;com.oracle&lt;/groupId&gt;
                        &lt;artifactId&gt;ojdbc6&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                        &lt;version&gt;11.2.0.3&lt;/version&gt;
                    &lt;/dependency&gt;
                &lt;/dependencies&gt;
                &lt;groupId&gt;com.smartbear&lt;/groupId&gt;
                &lt;artifactId&gt;ready-api-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                &lt;version&gt;1.7.0&lt;/version&gt;
                &lt;executions&gt;
                    &lt;execution&gt;
                        &lt;phase&gt;test&lt;/phase&gt;
                        &lt;goals&gt;
                            &lt;goal&gt;test&lt;/goal&gt;
                        &lt;/goals&gt;
                        &lt;!--&lt;id&gt;p1&lt;/id&gt;--&gt;
                        &lt;configuration&gt;
                            &lt;projectFile&gt;${basedir}/soapui-project.xml&lt;/projectFile&gt;
                            &lt;environment&gt;${environment}&lt;/environment&gt;
                            &lt;testSuite&gt;${testSuite}&lt;/testSuite&gt;
                            &lt;testCase&gt;${testCase}&lt;/testCase&gt;
                            &lt;!--&lt;tags&gt;&lt;param&gt;TestCase ${tags}&lt;/param&gt;&lt;/tags&gt;--&gt;
                            &lt;junitReport&gt;true&lt;/junitReport&gt;
                            &lt;outputFolder&gt;${basedir}/target/Reports&lt;/outputFolder&gt;
                            &lt;readyApiProperties&gt;
                             &lt;readyApiProperties&gt;
                                &lt;property&gt;
                                    &lt;name&gt;soapui.home&lt;/name&gt;
                                    &lt;value&gt;%env.SOAPUI_HOME%&lt;/value&gt;
                                &lt;/property&gt;
                            &lt;/readyApiProperties&gt;
                            &lt;/readyApiProperties&gt;
                        &lt;/configuration&gt;
                    &lt;/execution&gt;
                &lt;/executions&gt;
            &lt;/plugin&gt;
        &lt;/plugins&gt;
    &lt;/build&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;One of my builds uses tags, and the other doesn't.&nbsp;When I uncomment the tags section, the project that I'm not using the tags begins to fail with the following error:[ERROR] java.lang.Exception: The tag "${tags}" was not found.It appears that it's not being ignored when it's not set like the other configurations (testCase, testSuite, environment); I suspect it has to do with there are additional parameters and text, "TestCase," associated with using tags.&nbsp;Any input would be appreciated!&nbsp;Thanks,Mark
