Richard Chamberlain commented on SUREFIRE-602: ---------------------------------------------- This is similar to SUREFIRE-510, but warrants a separate issue as it is a different config option > Unable to run tests using a different JVM unless using forkMode="once" > (always and pertest do not work) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-602 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-602 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: process forking > Affects Versions: 2.4.3 > Environment: Maven version: 2.0.10 > Java version: 1.5.0_08 > OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows" > Reporter: Richard Chamberlain > > Hi, > Our build farm uses java 1.5.0_08. We have written some code in java 6. We > can get it to compile in java 6, but running tests wasn't that easy. We > originally set the config to: > <plugin> > <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> > <version>2.4.3</version> > <configuration> > <redirectTestOutputToFile>true</redirectTestOutputToFile> > <jvm>D:\buildTools\jdk\1.6.0\bin\java.exe</jvm> > <forkMode>pertest</forkMode> > <includes> > <include>**/*Behavior.java</include> > </includes> > </configuration> > </plugin> > But this didn't work reporting a bad version in class file error. When we set > forkMode to "once", it worked. > After further investigation > - the jvm property is only picked up when forkMode is "once" > - it does not work when forkmode is "pertest" or "always" > This was extremely painful to work out what the bug was. Can I also suggest > that you print out the JVM version and any parameters in the debug (mvn -X) > output? > Thanks, > Richard -- 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
