I hit this when debugging the FTBFS for libcommons-lang3-java. This package depends on JUnit4; Tweaking the Maven debug level up with -X revealed that surefire was exectuing the tests with the JUnit3 provider which was the cause of the test failures. Surefire looks at the JUnit artifact versioning on startup and makes an intelligent decision about which version of the provider to use: {{{ if the JUnit version in the project >= 4.7 and the parallel attribute has ANY value use junit47 provider if JUnit >= 4.0 is present use junit4 provider else use junit3.8.1 }}} See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/junit.html However the 4.x artifact in /usr/share/maven-repo/junit/junit fails this test and surefire reverts to 3.x behaviour. I worked around this by a) Mapping the JUnit artifact directly to the current 4.8.2 artifact in /usr/share/maven-repo. b) Forcing the provider by specifying it through plugin dependencies. Neither of these is ideal but b) is less brittle. Surefire uses the standard Maven Versioning classes to determing whether the JUnit presented is in specific ranges - see maven-surefire-common/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/surefire/AbstractSurefireMojo.java for details of how this works. I'll work on something to fix this up - it should be relatively easy to detect the 4.x string in the version (we know its >= 4.7) and fixup the behaviour. - -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-18-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libsurefire-java depends on: ii libmaven-common-artifact-filters-java 1.2-1 Versions of packages libsurefire-java recommends: ii junit 3.8.2-8 ii junit4 4.10-1 libsurefire-java suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJPZ0gIAAoJEL/srsug59jDNfwP/3g+I58pkajieAuSC7nCW0u3 fbiOWgsz6pNq4BzVDXjUJ+grt9bSBDFOtPfn+oTmOrdSrWPyhgyljBTc8gZFrFpR fpTchoXtKVcwvSeFxBrCZAvJh0+WmmWA09Etvo1Q+vJP3aafsXTIK8WJgyHSxoAv 6bV+cJFqZ64+kW9WFiB49DAs/3z0Xd4+LzNjnG6sSOmukVv85ACwd/e4BQbgws8v 3LhVMMdO+AjNJZ73e7h1igIMBgsZvBEJHWkF4FgAvedvrOxuCGU4HCnaZxQKX2Uo ifJ86I7gjYRFBuuthjfhbg96xu3A7ocOdSchVG9/7yIBAPUzfea/rbry2zAEzpft G/wfJV+u4SWXk+Lg8295c0o1kbFCm98BUZdeOtZPQHLDgmSpkdEP6mHbjJBMWNkV CrU4rFv24jsVJ4rDV1kpaqV00K5SUCLUmnHBY5wN7NNwgyzJcqgTdsV/Mj0uK+ek 6C2lneW/MVZKkJClyQIpEZDA7q8FmZlAu+VE923ZWKIQxsU956eUgx4FzW4m19ag gehLQWQVytJmQ4/PAuKLiEBdVBLOthexy5KS7rFbGaL+MsT6536WPqxAu6c6uJV3 nZ/mh4mRzhXzU1Jm3aU252ejTCS4Mg4lxSFYqsScElRIYMhW6rsC1hyilAK4OyqJ 7E/rLPRZbrjbmtODuOaD =Nq0/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
