Olivier Lamy reassigned SUREFIRE-876:
-------------------------------------
Assignee: Olivier Lamy
> 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
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy
>
> 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.
