Alexander Kriegisch commented on SUREFIRE-1881:
-----------------------------------------------
Agreed, [~reinhapa]. By the way, I did not see any forked VM hanging in the
call {{ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getInputArguments()}}.
As the only difference between a working test and a frozen one seems to be the
amount of stuff logged on {{stdOut}} and/or {{stdErr}}, I would like to ask
[~tibordigana] to please explain how the two VMs talk to each other and point
me to the relevant parts of the source code. Is there some communication going
on using the forked VM's output channels {{stdOut}} and/or {{stdErr}}? Does the
parent VM read from the respective streams and maybe expect some special
messages in a specific order, which might not arrive as expected because there
is regular JVM or Java agent log output in between those messages? In that
case, maybe the parsing could be improved in such a way that irrelevant output
is ignored and routed through transparently. Only actual VM-to-VM communication
ought to be filtered out and parsed. Sorry for speculating here, but the
Surefire code base is vast and I do not wish to read it completely without any
guidance. Thanks Tibor for your help.

> This is a follow-up to SUREFIRE-1788 which was closed prematurely even though
> there still were open issues which were discussed there initially. Basically
> the situation is as follows:
> * I use Java agents writing to stdOut and stdErr in my tests.
> * I was annoyed that Surefire/Failsafe were writing lots of {{[WARNING]
> Corrupted STDOUT by directly writing to native stream in forked JVM}} lines
> into {{*-jvmRun1.dumpstream}} files. [~tibordigana] then told me to use
> {{<forkNode
> implementation="org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.extensions.SurefireForkNodeFactory"/>}}
> in my POM in order to fix the issue.
> * I tried this in version 3.0.0-M5, but unfortunately, it makes
> Surefire/Failsafe freeze if a Java agent prints something to stdOut or
> stdErr. This happens both in M5 and in M6-SNAPSHOT after both SUREFIRE-1788
> and SUREFIRE-1809 have been merged in already.
> * My [sample
> project|https://github.com/kriegaex/Maven_Surefire_PrintToConsoleProblems]
> reproduces the issue as soon as you uncomment the option in the POM and run
> {{mvn clean verify}}.
> * The second issue is: *Not* using this option leads to garbled log output
> when a Java agent writes to both stdOut and stdErr before/during tests. See
> comments in class
> [{{Agent.DummyTransformer}}|https://github.com/kriegaex/Maven_Surefire_PrintToConsoleProblems/blob/master/src/main/java/de/scrum_master/dummy/Agent.java]
> for examples for garbled log lines and also comments in
> [pom.xml|https://github.com/kriegaex/Maven_Surefire_PrintToConsoleProblems/blob/master/pom.xml#L36]
> for further information.
> * If the garbled output would also appear with this option activated, cannot
> be tested at present due to the Surefire/Failsafe freeze. I will re-test that
> after the freeze has been fixed and before this issue can be closed.
