he Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven Surefire Plugin, version 2.7
This release includes the maven-surefire-plugin, which executes the unit tests of an application, the maven-surefire-report-plugin, which parses surefire/failsafe test results and renders them to DOXIA creating the web interface version of the test results, as well as the maven-failsafe-plugin, which executes the integration tests of an application. Highlights of this release: * Pluggable providers are now supported, as well as manual provider selection * 2.7 is significantly smaller and lighter than earlier 2.x versions (Only 30% of the download size) * A large chunk of the highest voted issues have been fixed. * Some performance optimizations for forkMode=always * Significant reduction in memory use and increase in performance for users who log console output to file. * Significant cleanup/simplification of the code-base **** Note to JUnit4 users upgrading: Due to SUREFIRE-482 upgrading to surefire 2.7 may cause some (incorrectly defined) tests to not be run any more. This should be verified by running mvn -Dsurefire.junit4.upgradecheck=true install at least once (this can be run multiple times until you have fixed all issues) http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/ You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.7</version> </plugin> Release Notes - Maven Surefire - Version 2.7 ** Bug * [SUREFIRE-482] - Surefire tries to run JUnit4 tests that contain no @Test annotations * [SUREFIRE-495] - OutOfMemory Exception * [SUREFIRE-501] - -Xmx JVM option is not used by the surefire process * [SUREFIRE-506] - Maven runs suite() methods of all junit 3.x tests for each unit test even when forkMode is set to always * [SUREFIRE-509] - NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/maven/surefire/booter/SurefireBooter with Java 1.3 * [SUREFIRE-538] - Surefire-booter and surefire-integration-tests require 1.4 but fail to specify it in their POMs * [SUREFIRE-599] - Logs console output multiple times (no. of times log output = the no. of test being run) for JUnit/XMLUnit tests * [SUREFIRE-638] - Plugin cannot handle "java" in a path name * [SUREFIRE-639] - Error inside systemOut parser: java.lang.IllegalStateException: testSetStarting called twice * [SUREFIRE-640] - org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.shade.org.codehaus.plexus.util.cli.CommandLineException: Error inside systemErr parser * [SUREFIRE-642] - TestNG support doesn't w/o Junit on classpath * [SUREFIRE-653] - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/maven/surefire/booter/SurefireBooter when use toolchains with jdk 1.3 * [SUREFIRE-657] - Surefire silently fails when argLine contains tabs or newlines * [SUREFIRE-660] - Using testng with testng 5.14.2 add a dependency com.google.inject:guice which cannot be overriden * [SUREFIRE-665] - Output to file stops after a while ** Improvement * [SUREFIRE-321] - Run tests in alphabetical order * [SUREFIRE-408] - add capability to turn on only a specific provider * [SUREFIRE-573] - When temp directory is missing or not writeable, error messages should state that plainly somewhere * [SUREFIRE-614] - Run tests in random order * [SUREFIRE-652] - Store surefire tmp files under target/ instead of java.io.tmpdir * [SUREFIRE-658] - Excessive synchronization in ReporterManager blocks performance * [SUREFIRE-662] - Forkmode=always rescans classpath in every forked vm * [SUREFIRE-664] - Parallel surefire reporter does not report real execution times ** New Feature * [SUREFIRE-141] - Surefire should provide a pluggable means to specify a custom provider * [SUREFIRE-661] - Add ConfigurableParallelComputer to junit core provider * [SUREFIRE-663] - Allow custom Junit4 RunListeners to be specified ** Task * [SUREFIRE-292] - Documentation for surefire API and providers Enjoy, -The Maven team --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
