The test needs some mods to ensure that the slave broker listen port is only started when the broker becomes the baster.
In code, the addition of the transportConnector needs to be: // lazy create transport connector on start completion TransportConnector connector = new TransportConnector(); connector.setUri(new URI("tcp://localhost:" + listenPort)); broker.addConnector(connector); In cases where failover needs to abort you can configure the maxReconnectAttempts to be > 0 and it will fail with an exception after X attempts.
