--------------------------------------
Summary: FreeBSD cross process communication needs to commit
stdout data in forked JVM within a synchronized block
Key: SUREFIRE-1349
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1349
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Tibor Digana
Assignee: Tibor Digana
Fix For: 2.19.2
In the branch {{2.19.2-experimental}} we discovered that less tests failed on
the platform FreeBSD after we flushed {{stdout}}. Our old code did this already
in some places but some missed this.
As a negative side effect, closing stream, did not solve anything and stream
could not be recovered.
We were not sure if FreeBSD platform read the JAR file completely due to we did
not close ZIP entry properly in JarOutputStream. We did all for finishing
stream and we flushed FileOutputStream due to close() method does not
explicitly flush stream, however flush/close contract is not documented, it's
just sort of a known implicit behavior in Oracle's JRE that people generally
trust. In specific cases where you know you need to call flush() before close()
as been JRE platform independent.
