Henning Gross commented on SUREFIRE-952:
----------------------------------------
18:59:36 org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to
execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.13:test
(default-test) on project tds-util-lib: groups/excludedGroups require TestNG or
JUnit48+ on project test classpath
Happened to me in a module that does not have any tests and therefore does not
include junit. The check should not be performed when there are not test
classes at all, dont you think? I now need to include the dependency in every
module in my multi-module-project.
> Incompatibility with future release 4.12 of junit (Categories)
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-952
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-952
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Junit 4.x support
> Affects Versions: 2.12.2, 2.12.4
> Reporter: Henning Gross
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Junit is introducing some interesting new features on Categories in 4.12.
> @Category will become @Inherited and @ExcludeCategory/@IncludeCategory will
> accept a class-array instead of just a single class. As we need these
> urgently we are currently testing with the current snapshot of junit
> (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/junit/junit/4.12-SNAPSHOT/).
> Unfortuneately the version seems to be incompatible.
> All tests are executed always. Regardless of the settings in <groups> or
> <excludedgroups>. Using 4.11 works fine. I do not know why this happens and
> therefore cannot provide a patch but I would love to see it fixed. If someone
> points me at the cause I will happily find a solution.
