Jan Sievers created SUREFIRE-876:
------------------------------------
Summary: surefire-junit47 does not work in an OSGi classloader
environment
Key: SUREFIRE-876
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-876
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: classloading, Junit 4.7+ (parallel) support
Affects Versions: 2.10
Reporter: Jan Sievers
while trying to port JUnitCoreProvider to tycho, I noticed that it fails with
an NPE when run inside an OSGi environment.
The root cause is really JUnit bug
https://github.com/KentBeck/junit/issues/364
JUnit uses Class.forName() to load the test class which assumes the JUnit
classloader can always load test classes, which is not true in an OSGi
classloader environment.
While this should be fixed in JUnit, it's easy to work around this issue in
surefire.
It's not necessary to use the offending
org.junit.runner.Description.getTestClass() in
JUnitCoreRunListener.fillTestCountMap(). We can use String getClassName()
instead to circumvent classloading issues as we only need the class name anyway.
I will attach a patch.
