@Kristian, thank you for your kind help. More below... I have finally solved my immediate problem. The problem was introduced when I made a change to a spring configuration file that caused an exception during the spring context creation by spring due to the *@org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration* in my JUnit test which extended *org.springframework.test.context.junit4.AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests* class.
When this happened all my tests failed but no interim output was produced as normally expected. Thus the entire suite took a very long time to run (with all tests failing on context creation) to run while not giving any feedback on individual test status. After all tests failed the entire buffered output was spit out in one big burst it seems. When I fixed my spring context file issue everything started working normally and I strarted seeing interim passed, FAILED messages on the console. maven-surefire-plugin version did not seem to make any different with 2.8, 2.9, 2.10. I did not try 2.8.1. As you can gather the scenario is rather complex and I do not have time to make a reproducable test case. Should I still file an issue? I am not sure whether the problem is a surefire-plugin issue of a spring-test issue. Thanks for your advice and help. -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/maven-surefire-plugin-redirecting-System-err-and-showing-delayed-output-from-junit-tests-tp4873335p4962045.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
