Cristian Vazzolla commented on SUREFIRE-912:
--------------------------------------------
Could the patch be applied and an internal/ intermediary release could be done
so that we can use JUnit categories with Surefire ?
As for now we are blocked because of this issue.

Cristian
> A NPE is thrown when some test case fails in the ConcurrentReporterManager
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: SUREFIRE-912
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-912
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Junit 4.7+ (parallel) support
> Environment: Windows 7
> Reporter: Cristian Vazzolla
> Attachments: ConcurrentReporterManager.patch, log_bug_surefire.txt
>
>
> When using JUnit categories for testing some of the tests that fail will
> result in a NULL pointer exception being thrown from the
> ConcurrentReporterManager class and this breaks the surefire plugin execution
> so the tests that follow this will not get executed anymore.
> The root cause of the problem is that in the testFailed method the
> getOrCreateTestMethod method is called which on one of the flows returns null
> which is not treated in the testFailed method and gives a null pointer
> exception.
> I've created a patch for this issue in which I've modified the testFailed and
> the testAssumptionFailure methods to treat nicely the case when null is
> returned from getOrCreateTestMethod.
> I've also attached the log file with the exception.
> I have not included any test because this issue happens randomly not on a
> particular test case.
