Hi Ryan, I found this issue already reported in JIRA. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1556
There is no fix because we have not received any reproducible project. IMO this section should not exist in the XML: < message="This is a bug"> <system-out><![CDATA[...]]></system-out> <system-err><![CDATA[...]]></system-err> </> It looks like the message is XML attribute used as an element. I checked the StatelessXmlReporter right now but i could not find any logical reason for this issue. I have really no idea what code and how injected this section into the XML file. Here is the method which is responsible for writing the system-out and system-err but I still do not see the root cause in the latest revision. https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/blob/master/maven-surefire-common/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/surefire/report/StatelessXmlReporter.java#L479 Maybe you have older version where is this bug. So the only thing we can do is to ask you to run the test with 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT. And then somebody has to debug the code. ;-( Pls write the test result in JIRA. If the bug is still present with the snapshot version then I would ask you to help us, dig in to the code and debug it.
