Tim Hay commented on SUREFIRE-308: ---------------------------------- Even though this is closed, it's I think it's still worth commenting on, considering the extreme difficulty I had finding out what the problem was in the first place, given the errors I was experiencing (see stacktrace below) Dan's comment above is correct. In a Windows XP environment, I found that when an <environmentVariables> element was added to the configuration for version 2.3 of the surefire plugin, all other environment variables were from then on unavailable. In particular, the SYSTEM_ROOT variable, required when using apache CXF. In this situation, we would get the following stacktrace: 30/05/2008 15:49:37 org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain doIntercept INFO: Interceptor has thrown exception, unwinding now org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 10106: create at org.apache.cxf.interceptor.AbstractOutDatabindingInterceptor.writeParts(AbstractOutDatabindingInterceptor.java:77) at org.apache.cxf.interceptor.BareOutInterceptor.handleMessage(BareOutInterceptor.java:68) at org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain.doIntercept(PhaseInterceptorChain.java:221) at org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ClientImpl.invoke(ClientImpl.java:276) at org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ClientImpl.invoke(ClientImpl.java:222) at org.apache.cxf.frontend.ClientProxy.invokeSync(ClientProxy.java:73) at org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsClientProxy.invoke(JaxWsClientProxy.java:177) at $Proxy56.getUsernameList(Unknown Source) at com.suncorp.jpetstore.api.service.account.AccountServiceSoapJmsIntegrationTest.shouldProxyGetUsernameList(AccountServiceSoapJmsIntegrationTest.java:37) There are two ways to work around this: 1) Override the dependency surefire has on plexus-utils, such that it explicitly depends on version 1.4.3. 2) Update to the latest version of the Surefire Plugin - which at time of writing is 2.4.3. Obviously, option 2 is preferred.

Whereas when this property is not set, the existing environment > ($HOME, $PATH, ...) remains present. > This is not critical as there is a workaround to still have $HOME or $PATH > for example by setting: > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> > <configuration> > <environmentVariables> > <NAME>value</NAME> > <HOME>${env.HOME}</HOME> > <PATH>${env.PATH}</PATH> > </environmentVariables> > </configuration> > </plugin> > but afaic, this remains a high issue. > I did not have time to investigate much, but it seems the problem comes from > org.codehaus.plexus.util.cli.CommandLine, so this bug may be also opened > there. -- 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
