Description

« Hide

The fix for ~~MPTEST-25~~ has a behavioral side effect that I consider as a bug. Before the fix, any test failure would halt the whole testing process, unless the failure.ignore was specified. Now, no matter what you do, the complete test suite will run eventhough you want it to stop at the first error it encounters.

It seems that the maven.test.failure.ignore property has been used to specify junit to stop test execution at the first encountered failure.

This means that it is no more possible to fail maven build when test fails but still execute ALL the tests. This is a bug.

This is essential to be able to run all the tests unconditionally when you build test reports, for instance. And we still need the build to fail after ALL the tests have been run if one of them ended on failure.

It would be a good idea to propose a separate property such as maven.test.haltonfailure or maven.test.haltonerror to specify junit to stop at the first failure or error. This property must be set to false by default to comply with maven-test-plugin behaviour before version 1.8.

See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPTEST-39
