Description

Since update to Surefire 2.6 our CI server is breaking builds every now and then with:
...
Results :
Tests run: 42, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

Up to now I was not able to reproduce the issue. It looks like a concurrency issue.
Configuration:
<configuration>
<systemPropertyVariables>
<net.sourceforge.cobertura.datafile>target/cobertura/cobertura.ser</net.sourceforge.cobertura.datafile>
<java.awt.headless>true</java.awt.headless>
</systemPropertyVariables>
<redirectTestOutputToFile>true</redirectTestOutputToFile>
</configuration>
Probably due to 42 tests

As far as I understand this issue has been hidden by the incorrect error handling in plexus-utils, which was fixed in PLXUTILS-131. I see a clear concurrency problem that should only be visible when redirectTestOutputToFile is true. Could you verify that the problem goes away if you disable this feature ?

I removed redirectTestOutputToFile. I will post in case the problem occurs again.

Hi,

I have the same problem. When I set redirectTestOutputToFile to true the build fails with this Error. It happens for both Maven 2.2.1 and 3.0.0 using surefire plugin 2.6.

Fixed several fairly obvious threading problems in r1030636.

There is a decent possiblity these problems have the same root cause, although the overload broad catch-block that was removed in Plexus-utils could potentially hide several problems.
