When the exception message is long or contains linefeeds, the summary display is not nice -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-697 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-697 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Improvement Components: Maven Surefire Plugin Affects Versions: 2.7.2 Reporter: Kristian Rosenvold When the "message" of the exception is long (like Spring framework can do and some backend systems) or contains some kind of multi-line text, the summary display ("Failed tests"/"Tests with error") looks totally off. The message shown in the display should probably be truncated to show only the first line of the message text. I am not sure if it also should be truncated if it's very long single-line, which should be considered when fixing this issue. This problem was introduced with SUREFIRE-645 in 2.7.2 This is the display in question, but this testcase does not demonstrate the long messages Results : Failed tests: testiWithFail2(surefire613.Test2): We excpect this testiWithFail4(surefire613.Test2): We excpect this testiWithFail1(surefire613.Test2): We excpect this testiWithFail3(surefire613.Test2): We excpect this Tests in error: testWithException8(surefire613.Test2): We expect this testWithException7(surefire613.Test2): We expect this testWithException6(surefire613.Test2): We expect this testWithException5(surefire613.Test2): We expect this testWithException4(surefire613.Test2): We expect this testWithException3(surefire613.Test2): We expect this testWithException2(surefire613.Test2): We expect this testWithException1(surefire613.Test2): We expect this -- 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
