Finally! As suspected... it was some stupid trivial item. I'm posting this
just so the thread on the mail archive will be complete.
Effectively what was causing the issue was some of surefire reports got checked
into the scm under the target directory {project}/target/surefire-reports.
This is what caused surefire via release plugin to fail on the perform goal and
not the prepare goal. Reason being is that prepare runs a clean (and I usually
run mvn clean release:prepare anyhow) as it's first step. When the release
goal was running, it would check out the entire project again to
{project}/target/checkout/ in which those same surefire reports that were in
the scm, would be placed into
{project}/target/checkout/target/surefire-reports. As a consequence, the
surefire plugin would bomb on perform and not prepare (because prepare deleted
them via it's own clean execution). Perform would does not run a clean so when
it checked out the entire project again, the reports were in the target
directory which throws surefire for a loop.
I wish surefire would give you more information, such as it had a problem with
a report file already existing, that would have saved SO much time, oh well.
Lesson learned: Make sure you don't check anything into your projects target
directory on your SCM, IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA! ;)

Randall

Wayne,
One issue... how do you get the "maven.surefire.debug" option to the
surefire plugin since it's running via the release plugin? For instance, if I
try to tell it just to skip tests, (i.e. -Dmaven.test.skip=true) it won't
because the release plugin has it's own surefire config (I'm guessing). So
even if I want to debug it using Eclipse to attach to the test jvm, I don't see
how can I get that parameter to the surefire instance that the release plugin
is firing up. I'll try anyhow, but think this will be a problem.
Regards,
Randall

Googling "maven surefire debugger" brought the proper results to the
top... give it a try. ;-)
