Falko Modler commented on SUREFIRE-1883:
----------------------------------------
[~kleewan] IIRC, it does solve the case I have mentioned above (output while
debugging).
Downside of downgrading is - as usual - that you get other bugs.

> Key: SUREFIRE-1883
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1883
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-M5
> Environment: Windows 10, Java 11.0.7, Intellij IDEA 2020.3
> Reporter: Marco Patavini
> Priority: Major

> Hello,
> I'm working on a test automation project using Maven (with Surefire plugin)
> and JUnit 5. Since I have very long-running UI scripts (up to 20 minutes), I
> make intensive use of logging to the console. This is crucial to me, at least
> in the developing phase of each script. However, logs gets dumped all at once
> at the end of the execution, instead of being printed in real-time. I realize
> this makes perfect sense in case of parallel execution (to avoid overlapping
> issues), but I would like a way to disable this when executing in a serial
> fashion. I've searched both Surefire and JUnit documentations, but I can't
> seem to find a way. Any help would be appreciated. This is a very simple
> dummy project to reproduce the issue:

> I use to execute tests with the {{mvn test}} command in my IDE (IntelliJ
> IDEA). Please note that I used {{System.out.println()}} for the sake of
> simplicity, but I get the same behavior using any logging library, like
> {{log4j}}.
> Another thing worth mentioning is that I get the correct behavior if running
> the tests through the integrated JUnit plugin in my IDE, instead of running
> them though Maven Surefire. Also, I get the same exact issue using TestNG.
> I can remember having a similar setup a couple of years ago (Surefire 2.x +
> JUnit 4) and I've never experienced this issue. Something must have been
> changed, but I can't find any useful information in the docs. I'm afraid I'm
> missing something obvious.
