SurefireBooter can initialize classloader with badly formed URLs ----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSUREFIRE-148 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-148 Project: Maven 2.x Surefire Plugin Type: Bug Reporter: Jeremy Boynes In SurefireBooter.createClassLoader() the path is converted to a URL using File f = new File( url ); urls.add( f.toURL() ); File.toURL does not perform URL encoding so the resulting URL may contain invalid characters. This is an issue on Windows machines where the default maven repository is in "C:\Documents and Settings\user\.m2\..." (the filename contains spaces). If a test accesses a resource that is loaded from a dependency jar then the URL returned to that test is malformed. With JDK 1.4 this can be fixed using urls.add( f.toURI().toURL() ); as toURI() does encode the path. If surefire still needs to run under pre-1.4 JVMs this would need to be explicitly encoded. I'm willing to supply a patch for that if wanted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
