Fork mode of "pertest" or "always" does not fork per test or always -------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-568 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-568 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Bug Components: Junit 4.x support Affects Versions: 2.4.3, 2.4.2, 2.4.1, 2.4, 2.3.1, 2.3, 2.0 (2.2 plugin), 2.0 Report Plugin, 1.5.3 (2.1.3 plugin), 1.5.2 (2.1.2 plugin), 1.5.1 (2.1.1 plugin), 1.5 (2.1 plugin), 1.4 (2.0 plugin), 1.3 (2.0-beta-1 plugin) Environment: Windows XP, Java 6 update 14, JUnit 4.6 Reporter: Laird Nelson Perhaps this is a misunderstanding, in which case I'd ask for a clarification in the documentation. If I specify a <forkMode> of "always" or "pertest" (which I understand is the same thing), Surefire will fork for each test *class*, but *not* for each @Test within the test class. The documentation led me to believe that surefire would fork once for each method annotated as @Test. (Background: I'm running OpenEJB and H2, and need to ensure that the in-memory H2 database I have set up is zapped in between each test run so that, among other things, the automated DDL generation re-runs for each test.) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
