Passing parameters to maven plugin while writing unit tests

I have a maven mojo plugin with parameters like this:

public class SomeMojoPlugin
    extends AbstractMojo
{
    @Parameter( property = "templatefile", required = true )
    private File templateFile;

And I want to write unit tests for this plugin. How to pass this property/parameter "templatefile" in test methods?

@Parameter usually marks a class field. If it is protected or private and you want to get access to it, you can add a Setter like:

public void setTemplateFile(File templateFile) {
    this.templateFile = templateFile;
}

If you use IntellijIDEA, just press Alt+Ins to create it easier...

The Maven documentation has a page about How To Use Maven Plugin Testing Harness.

Basically extending AbstractMojoTestCase, implementing the methods for the lifecycle and providing a sample pom.xml file for the test.

public class MyMojoTest extends AbstractMojoTestCase {
}
