Niraj Tolia created SUREFIRE-843: ------------------------------------ Summary: Unable to run 'mvn test' with Java 7 Key: SUREFIRE-843 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-843 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Bug Components: Maven Surefire Plugin Affects Versions: 2.12 Environment: Mac OS X
java version "1.7.0_04-ea" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-ea-b12) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b15, mixed mode) Reporter: Niraj Tolia I am trying to run mvn test and it always fails at some arbitrary time with the message 'Error occurred in starting fork'. See the output below. Note that it does not execute all tests but fails in between the test run. The number of tests surefire finishes executing is random but it has never completed the entire test run. I am using Java7u4 Build b13 with Maven 3.0.3 and surefire v2.12. Any clue what might be going wrong? This is a blocker for me. {noformat} Results : Tests run: 230, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0 [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 41.204s [INFO] Finished at: Thu Feb 23 17:40:55 PST 2012 [INFO] Final Memory: 17M/212M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12:test (default-test) on project test-project: Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log -> [Help 1] org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12:test (default-test) on project test-project: Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:217) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:153) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:145) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleModuleBuilder.buildProject(LifecycleModuleBuilder.java:84) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleModuleBuilder.buildProject(LifecycleModuleBuilder.java:59) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleStarter.singleThreadedBuild(LifecycleStarter.java:183) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleStarter.execute(LifecycleStarter.java:161) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.doExecute(DefaultMaven.java:319) at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.execute(DefaultMaven.java:156) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.execute(MavenCli.java:537) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.doMain(MavenCli.java:196) at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:141) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launchEnhanced(Launcher.java:290) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:230) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java:409) at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:352) Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.SurefirePlugin.assertNoException(SurefirePlugin.java:656) at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.SurefirePlugin.handleSummary(SurefirePlugin.java:645) at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.AbstractSurefireMojo.executeAfterPreconditionsChecked(AbstractSurefireMojo.java:137) at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.AbstractSurefireMojo.execute(AbstractSurefireMojo.java:98) at org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:101) at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:209) ... 19 more Caused by: org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooterForkException: Error occurred in starting fork, check output in log at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.booterclient.ForkStarter.fork(ForkStarter.java:281) at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.booterclient.ForkStarter.run(ForkStarter.java:113) at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.AbstractSurefireMojo.executeProvider(AbstractSurefireMojo.java:199) at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.AbstractSurefireMojo.executeAllProviders(AbstractSurefireMojo.java:176) at org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.AbstractSurefireMojo.executeAfterPreconditionsChecked(AbstractSurefireMojo.java:135) ... 22 more [ERROR] [ERROR] [ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: [ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoExecutionException {noformat} This occurs with a very simple surefire plugin config: {noformat} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>${surefire.version}</version> <configuration> <parallel>classes</parallel> </configuration> </plugin> {noformat} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
