Stefan Oehme created MNG-8535: --------------------------------- Summary: Embedded launcher can't capture Maven 4 output Key: MNG-8535 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8535 Project: Maven Issue Type: Bug Components: Embedding Affects Versions: 4.0.0-rc-3 Reporter: Stefan Oehme
We have a lot of tests capturing and validating the output of Maven builds and use an embedded launcher by default to make our tests fast. With Maven 4 and CliNG, our embedder can no longer capture Maven's output. At first I thought there was something wrong with our embedder, but I can reproduce this with the EmbeddedMavenExecutor provided by the Maven team as well: {code:java} public static void main(String[] args) { ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); new EmbeddedMavenExecutor(false).execute(ExecutorRequest .mavenBuilder(Paths.get("/path/to/apache-maven-4.0.0-rc-3-SNAPSHOT")) .cwd(Paths.get("/path/to/simple-project")) .argument("package") .stdoutConsumer(out) .build() ); System.out.println("Output was: " + out); } {code} The above program should capture Maven's output, but actually the output is dumped directly to the console and the `out` variable remains empty. This puzzled me, because the embedded launcher [does replace System.out and System.err|https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/impl/maven-executor/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cling/executor/embedded/EmbeddedMavenExecutor.java#L148], so it looks like it should work. After some digging I found out that this is because of JLine. It doesn't use System.out or System.err, [but instead writes directly to the underlying filedescriptors |https://github.com/jline/jline3/blob/4504b461ba719749d9d9276be11df26d4524914a/terminal/src/main/java/org/jline/terminal/impl/DumbTerminalProvider.java#L50] Please provide a way to capture Maven 4's output with the embedded launcher, like we used to be able with Maven 3. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
