That particular Jenkins job is an experimental attempt by one of our developers to try to run all of our tests in parallel, and it's quite spammy when there's a failure. I don't track it. I'm tracking some of our other jobs. Usually, though, our problem is with our tests, not necessarily failsafe, but I can't be sure unless you point me directly to the failure, instead of the job page. > I asked INFRA team to display Thread Dump button.

I didn't think we're doing System.setOut() at all, but it looks like we are doing it in one failsafe IT, and one surefire test. I'll have to investigate these a bit more. I think there's probably a better way to do those tests. I'm adding our dev list to the distro. Let's continue this conversation there, if necessary, and bring it back to the Maven list if we can figure out what's going on. > [1] https://builds.apache.org/job/Accumulo-master-IT/ > [2] https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Thread+Dump+Action+Plugin > [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1193 > > > > On Wed, Aug 31, 2016 at 3:00 AM, Christopher [via Maven] < > ml-node+s40175n5879500...@n5.nabble.com> wrote: > > > tl;dr - A proposal for config independence for groups/excludeGroups > > properties and some special keywords for ALL, NONE, and UNCATEGORIZED > > groups. > > > > *** > > > > In the Apache Accumulo project, we're currently in process of trying to > > make use of JUnit categories to separate different classes of tests. > > > > So, we're using the maven-surefire-plugin and maven-failsafe-plugin > > configuration properties: groups, excludeGroups > > > > One thing we noticed was that the user property is the same for both > > plugins.
