Comment: was deleted
(was: I am not entitrely sure if all "me toos" on this thread have seen the
same stacktrace or just the same message.
There's a large hole were this exception can occur, which has been there all
along but is a lot easier to see on the current trunk:
The booter starts with ForkedBooter#main method. When this method is invoked,
surefire-api is NOT on the classpath. All the way into runSuitesInProcess, the
exception is not on the classpath. Technically classloader switch happens on
"provider.invoke", at which point the context classloader is switched.
Although restructured, the logic & flow of this code is unchanged from a LONG
time back, so this is the likely source of this problem. For example the catch
blocks in the SurefireStarter#invokeProvider method simply will not work.
The solution to this is either to make sure that the surefire exceptions do not
propagate into the code running in the system classloader, or to add
surefire-api to the boot classpath, or to split the api module into several
different modules, one which has to be on the boot classpath. The latter
solution effectively means permanently accepting that surefire-api changes are
hard, but I am not sure if it changes the current reality much.
I will looking into fixing this issue. )
