javadoc generation on @Test(expected...) throws Exception (aggregation issue) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MJAVADOC-195 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-195 Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.3 Environment: 1.5.x Reporter: Quinten Verheyen In a recent build of ours, running javadoc:javadoc on our modules gave the following exception : [INFO] An error has occurred in JavaDocs report generation:Exit code: 1 - javadoc: error - In doclet class com.sun.tools.doclets.standard.Standard, method start has thrown an exception java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException java.lang.AssertionError: cannot find method org.junit.Test.expected() at com.sun.tools.javac.jvm.ClassReader$AnnotationDeproxy.findAccessMethod(ClassReader.java:1074) It took me some time to find out that this ONLY fails when the test is part of a module which is more then 1 level deeper then the module from wich the javadoc command is being run. To illustrate, the usage of @Test(expected=...) occured in several of our modules, one of them was directly below the root and a couple of others an extra level down. When I temporarily commented out the modules who were an extra level down, the javadoc generation succeeded, despite that fact there were still tests using @Test(expected=...).
