Niraj Tolia commented on SUREFIRE-843: -------------------------------------- Sneha: Try these steps to narrow down your problem: 1. Configure surefire to fork unit tests and then run mvn -X test. 2. Grab the surefire startup line from the debug output (should start with /bin/bash). 3. Execute that command directly and when it fails, run 'echo $?' to get the status. 4. Then grep all your code or any external code that might be calling System.exit() with that status. > 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?
