Kristian Rosenvold commented on SUREFIRE-704: --------------------------------------------- Unfortunately this issue will not be fixed before earliest 2.8.1, because the kind of code change required has not been possible until SUREFIRE-700 has been released. Please note, Chad Wilson, that adding the following to your plugin defintion will probably remove the randomness you are experiencing (and it's a good thing to do this immediately even with 2.7.2 if you're using fork timeout): Plexus utils 2.0.7 will be appearing in maven central in a few hours. Adding this to surefire should solve this issue; <plugin> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> .... <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.codehaus.plexus</groupId> <artifactId>plexus-utils</artifactId> <version>2.0.7</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> This *will* be fixed for 2.8 > maven surefire Error while executing forked tests.; nested exception is > java.lang.IllegalStateException: testSetStarting called twice > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-704 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-704 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Junit 4.x support > Affects Versions: 2.7.2 > Environment: Windows/Linux/SunOS > Reporter: S Daigle > Attachments: surefire-272.txt, surefire.txt > > > We want to upgrade from our current 2.5 version of the maven-surefire-plugin > to something newer but cannot get past the error below.
