Maven runs suite() methods of all junit 3.x tests for each unit test even when
forkMode is set to always
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-506
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-506
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JUnit 3.x support
Affects Versions: 2.4.2
Environment: Windows XP, Java 1.6
Doesn't seem like an environment specific issue
Reporter: anshul
Priority: Minor
When running unit tests, if a project has junit 3 unit tests, and the pom has
forkMode set to always, like so
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.2</version>
<configuration>
<disableXmlReport>true</disableXmlReport>
<forkMode>always</forkMode>
</configuration>
</plugin>
the unit test runner invokes the suite() method of all the junit 3 unit tests,
even though they will not be run within the specific fork of thats running just
one unit tests. This can be confusing and may cause issues if the unit tests
were doing some @BeforeClass style initializations in the suite() method.
Moreover this may be inefficient.
