hi, surefire is failing on its execution and from what i can surmise from the error is that maven tries to run the non-existent "org.codehaus.surefire.Runner" class. i already opened up the 1.3 and 1.4 surefire group of jar files and there is really no Runner class in there.
is there a special step or requirement to run test cases in maven? stacktrace is shown below. thanks. ciao! ------------------------------------------------------- T E S T S ------------------------------------------------------- java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:27) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:274) at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:308) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:261) at com.meridea.cs.logging.Logger.getDelegatePlugin(Logger.java:306) at com.meridea.cs.logging.Logger.<init>(Logger.java:64) at com.meridea.cs.logging.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:285) at test.com.meridea.cs.charfilter.AllowedCharacterFilterTest.<clinit>(AllowedCharacterFilterTest.java:23) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.codehaus.surefire.battery.JUnitBattery.<init>(JUnitBattery.java:134) at org.codehaus.surefire.Surefire.instantiateBatteries(Surefire.java:318) at org.codehaus.surefire.Surefire.run(Surefire.java:130) at org.codehaus.surefire.Surefire.run(Surefire.java:77) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.codehaus.surefire.SurefireBooter.run(SurefireBooter.java:104) at org.apache.maven.test.SurefirePlugin.execute(SurefirePlugin.java:303) at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultPluginManager.java:399) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoals(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:519) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoalWithLifecycle(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:469) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoal(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:448) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeGoalAndHandleFailures(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:301 ) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.executeTaskSegments(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:268) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.DefaultLifecycleExecutor.execute(DefaultLifecycleExecutor.java:137) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.doExecute(DefaultMaven.java:316) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.execute(DefaultMaven.java:113) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:249) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.launchEnhanced(Launcher.java:315) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:255) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java:430) at org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:375) RUN ABORTED java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError org.codehaus.surefire.Runner An exception or error caused a run to abort. null -- "Programming, an artform that fights back" Anuerin G.
