Surefire report creation fails on processing absent optional JUnit xml attributes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-597 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-597 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Improvement Components: Maven Surefire Report Plugin Affects Versions: 2.4.3 Reporter: Maksym Symonov Priority: Minor Surefire report creation fails when JUnit XML source for report doesn't contain optional attributes. I use Clojure with junit xml output, it produces xml with <failure> subnode of <testcase>. It has no "message" and "type" attributes specified for it. But has error message as nested text. Plugin processes this xml and fails with NullPointerException SurefireReportGenerator.java:676, as i see in the code, it's not possible for it to have <failure> node without "type" attribute. Maybe it would be better to add null checking at that method? -- 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
