Surefire plugin aborts if target directory contains files/dirs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-610
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-610
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
Affects Versions: 2.5
Environment: Windows XP, Windows 2003k, Ubuntu, Maven 2.0.9, Maven
2.2.1
Reporter: Randall Fidler
If there are files in the target directory when the plugin is run, specifically
when tests are run inconjunction with the release:perform plugin goal, the
plugin seems to simply terminate. The overall build is failed due to there
being test failures, but the build shows no test failures (i.e. <<< FAILURE!)
and none of the surefire reports list any test failures. It's important to
note that there will be only part of your test reports you expect (say 50%) as
the plugin appears to stop before it has executed all tests. I believe what
occurs is the plugin tries to create a report, say for test G, and finds in the
target directory that the reports files for test G already exist that's where
it pukes. As a result, you will have reports for tests A-F and nothing more;
all of these reports will NOT list any error/failure. Also important to note
is that there is no summary you usually see, i.e. Tests: 100 Failures: 0
Errors: 0, after the surefire plugin runs - you only see the stats for the last
test and then information from the "main" maven thread saying the build failed
due to test failures.
It would be ideal if:
a) the surefire plugin could remove any surefire reports prior to execution
or
b) fail the build but provide a reason why, e.g. "could not write the test
report for test G"
