Fork mode of "pertest" or "always" does not fork per test or always
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-568
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-568
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Junit 4.x support
Affects Versions: 2.4.3, 2.4.2, 2.4.1, 2.4, 2.3.1, 2.3, 2.0 (2.2 plugin),
2.0 Report Plugin, 1.5.3 (2.1.3 plugin), 1.5.2 (2.1.2 plugin), 1.5.1 (2.1.1

Environment: Windows XP, Java 6 update 14, JUnit 4.6
Reporter: Laird Nelson
Perhaps this is a misunderstanding, in which case I'd ask for a clarification
in the documentation.
If I specify a <forkMode> of "always" or "pertest" (which I understand is the
same thing), Surefire will fork for each test *class*, but *not* for each @Test
within the test class.
The documentation led me to believe that surefire would fork once for each
method annotated as @Test.
(Background: I'm running OpenEJB and H2, and need to ensure that the in-memory
H2 database I have set up is zapped in between each test run so that, among
other things, the automated DDL generation re-runs for each test.)
